Blindside confirms new album is on the way, their first since 2011
Swedish alternative metal outfit Blindside made a long-awaited return this spring with the release of “Dead Weight”, their first single since 2019. Now, the band has confirmed via social media that a brand new full-length album is officially in the works — their first since 2011’s “With Shivering Hearts We Wait”.
The announcement was brief but to the point. Alongside the exciting news, the band encouraged fans to show support by ordering T-shirts or limited edition 7-inch vinyls. They also wished everyone a great summer — but the biggest takeaway was clear: this isn’t just about one single. A whole new chapter of music is on the way.
Fans have responded with clear excitement. “Dead Weight” proved that Blindside still has that distinct, high-energy blend of alternative metal and post-hardcore that set them apart years ago. The track was a strong comeback and raised expectations for what the full album might deliver.
Having first emerged on the scene in the mid-’90s, Blindside now seems poised to enter a new era in their career. While there’s no official release date yet, one thing’s certain — after more than a decade, the wait is finally about to pay off.
