Los Sin Nombre - Blind Leading Blind
“Blind Leading Blind” is Los Sin Nombres very first full length release, after launching not less than 4 demos between the bands founding year 2002 and 2007. Rooted in melodic Death Metal, the 5 Swedish dudes from Linköping offer an impressive album that will surely help to spread the name Los Sin Nombre. But first things first. One of the primarily impressions that came into my mind is the fantastic sound quality of “Blind Leading Blind”. This is without a doubt a professional production. The tracks on this powerful release are comparable with Soilwork or slower Dark Tranquillity, but without being just another copycat. Far from it! It may be plain to see / to hear Los Sin Nombre are from Sweden, but all songs sound independent as well as fresh and unused in its own manner. Pär Palm, the guy on the microphone knows how to maltreat his vocal chords with darkened screams, but he also shows versatility by singing some clear passages (e.g. in “Bleed” and “Enemy“). Versatility - this is the adequate term for the whole album. The riffs range from melodic Death Metal with occasional Thrash Metal elements to interesting accoutic parts and back again. The beneficial drumming runs from slower parts, to mid-tempo stuff and also some up-tempo passages. Whereas the bigger part of Los Sin Nombres music settles in embossed mid-paced elements. The highlights on this one are the title track, “Wounds” and “Breaking Silence” Every Swedish Metal supporter should at least give these songs a try. “Blind Leading Blind” is simply brilliant and this young Swedish band should be recommended warmly to every fan of melodic Death Metal. The future looks bright for Los Sin Nombre and ViciSolum Productions would be well advised to keep this band under their wings.
