Blinded Colony - Once Bitten, Twice Shy (Patreon Request) [Reaction/Review]

[@orbital486]

Other similar releases from 2006 (top off my head): Disarmonia Mundi - Mind Tricks, Raunchy - Death Pop Romance, Engel - Absolute Design, Scar Symmetry - Pitch Black Progress, myGrain - Orbit Dance, Sonic Syndicate - Eden Fire As a young metalhead at the time and discovering albums like Stabbing the Drama and Come Clarity, I was all about finding similar sounding bands. Blinded Colony were definitely one of the standouts from that mid-2000 period, before the whole style became oversaturated and worn out.

[@urbanvikingalereview]

I agree with absolutely everything you've said. Blinded Colony were like a younger sounding In Flames. In Here is one of my favourite tracks from them alongside Aaron's Son. This was a great time for metal.

[@groper6793]

We listen to all the same stuff. Love MyGrain !

[@ИванГройсман]

well, this is the base, you listed all the best, although Blinded Colony then seemed to me like nothing else

[@groper6793]

I got this on CD when it first came out. If I could have melted a CD by repeatedly playing it, this would have melted years ago. I still listen to its entirety every year ! ! !

The vocalist is a millionaire writing pop songs for the likes of Pink, Taylor Swift and Britney Spears...

[@uFinSideProduction]

You should definitely check the whole album. You will like it a lot. Johan Schuster the vocalist stopped producing own music (which really is a shame) to become a pretty popular songwriter for a lot of pop stars these days. Please do more from this album even if there aren't any music videos out there!

Very good album from this band. History of melodic death metal.

2:08 SYNC MODE ON

Another note the lead singer left to write pop songs and to be mentored by Max Martin. Max Martin is a genius and has written pretty much every pop song since the 90’s. Max Martin has a metal background himself too. He started out in a funk metal band in the 80’s. Anyway the song “So What” by Pink was written by the lead vocalist while he was still in Blinded Colony. I believe he was on tour with the band when he wrote it. Somehow pink got it and well he left to pursue other ventures. The EP features a new vocalist and I’m not sure what really happened after that. There’s a snip of a song from the EP online that features their original volcanism and I think it’s better, but the EP wasn’t that bad with the new singer.

[@zombiedrummer4life]

This album was on heavy rotation when I was in high school. Such a 10/10 for me.

[@KevinLamarche]

Raintime is another band much like this one, fantastic vocalist. Check em out.

[@CmdFixxxer]

Try halo off this album, great overall album.

[@TheJuup]

If the rabbits are indeed fucking, then the throw would be much easier to make.

[@APREACTS]

Story checks out

[@majinbuu5863]

What a amazing album to bad this singer only made one album. They did make a EP with 2 new singers called the blinded it’s not to bad but this singer is amazing.

[@bartas47]

Oh that's a good one. Also I hope you review the latest parasite inc. song, it's amazing

[@jerekarppinen]

This is the first time ever I see you break routine and google stuff in the middle of discussion. A little detail that got me off guard. Maybe just because been following you for so long.

[@APREACTS]

Sometimes you just have to go with it. lol

[@jerekarppinen]

@@APREACTS yes. looking forward for more

[@Slodsworth]

One of my favourite albums of all time. It kicks so much ass. How he now creates all the music in the charts i hate just rubs salt in the wound xD Still waiting on chaos injected - the hermit 😂 if you like melo death theyre finnish and awesome. Fairly old now tho 2018ish Dark age, scar symmetry, sonic syndicate, dark tranquility, breach the void, darkest hour, deadlock, degradead, destinity, the duskfall, mygrain, omnium gatherum. If you want a beast ass song thatll make you laugh thats heavy id suggest skitarg - jag bryter nacken av din hast xD which means i will break the neck of your horse 😂 two guitar solos basically swedish clown version of slipknot.

[@ВладЧерноморченко-и2с]

Sweden melodic death ,))

[@waleedawan5454]

React to new Machine head song "Unhallowed"! It's so good and there is also a new Lacrimas profundere song released called "Wall of Gloom".

[@NiklasMX]

They were a very good band! What happened to them?

[@CJIEnOuBOBR]

vocalist gone for the Big Money (google Shellback, the songwriter). Can't blame him as he is a very wealthy man now, but, shame he doesn't do metal anymore ((

[@NiklasMX]

@@CJIEnOuBOBR WOW! Very interesting. Still, he joined the band on a very late stage, right? What happened to the other guys?

[@HunterForsberg]

@@NiklasMX Other dudes remained and acquired two vocalists (one harsh, one clean). Next, they change their name to The Blinded. Afterwards, they would release an untitled EP. And then… they just vanished.

[@johnnyriffs]

@@NiklasMXYes he has worked a lot with Max Martin since around 2007 and he has a lot of #1 Billboard hits by now… He has written songs for Pink, Adele, Taylor Swift. Etc. Pretty crazy! (Don’t know anything about the other guys though)
