Blind Channel share new single and video ‘Stars We See’

Author Benedetta Baldin - 3.9.2026

Finnish modern metal outfit Blind Channel serves the next musical glimpse of their upcoming studio album, “Painstream“. The mesmerising new single called ‘Stars We See’ transforms an existential crisis into a powerful message of hope, reminding humanity that life’s fleeting nature is what makes it meaningful. ‘Stars We See’ comes with a captivating music video made by Riivata Visuals.

The band comments:
“We’re incredibly relieved and grateful to have our band back, and absolutely blown away by the response to the first new releases. ‘Stars We See’ is a sneak peek to the new soundscapes and themes we discovered during our break and it represents the more hopeful side of the upcoming album.

“This track will undoubtedly make its way into the setlist of the Painstream Tour, kicking off in November. We strongly recommend experiencing this new chapter live. Get your tickets and we’ll see you out there!”

In addition to the new single, tickets for Blind Channel’s extensive “Painstream” European headlining tour in early 2027 are now on sale. Purchase your tickets here.
