THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED DEBUT STUDIO ALBUM FROM POLAND’S NEW LEADING LIGHT OF PROGRESSIVE METAL, FEATURING FORMER MEMBERS OF BEHEMOTH & KATATONIA. PRESENTED ON DIGIPACK CD FORMAT. Bli ndead 23, formerly known as Blindead, is the new Polish avant-metal juggernaut led by ex-Behemoth guitarist Mateusz "Havoc" Smierzchalski, with a stellar lineup also including Roger Öjersson (ex-Katatonia) & Pawel "Pavulon" Jaroszewicz (Vltimas, ex-Vader, ex-Decapitated). This new incarnation of the band blends an atmosphere of early Blindead recordings - sludge & post-metal, with heavy riffs & mesmerizing electronics - into an evolved & elevated new form, while continuing to honour past material during their captivating live performances. Early compositions following the Blindead 23 “rebirth” resulted in the ‘Vanishing’ EP, followed by the 7” vinyl single, ‘Disposed’, which was the first ever recording for Peaceville Records, unveiled in 2025. Recently launching to the approving attention of the broader global masses following the announcement of their new deal with Peaceville, the wait for Blindead 23’s full length studio debut has been both gruelling for fans, & an arduous endeavour for the band itself. Recorded in 2023, then carefully moulded & refined over the following years, ‘Deuterium’ instantly captivates with its stratospheric soundscapes over the duration of nearly an hour of meticulously crafted & multitextured, inspired metal. The album itself is described as a conceptual journey, & is one which manifests as an uplifting yet often sombre expression & reflection of the soul. And so, in continuing the momentum created in the wake of the band’s ‘Disposed’ track, the odyssey that is ‘Deuterium’ is a new powerhouse of unique, experimental & progressive metal. ‘Deuterium’ was recorded & produced by David Castillo (Opeth, Carcass, Katatonia, Leprous) at Studio Gröndahl in Stockholm in the spring of 2023, with mixing & mastering duties carried out by longtime friend of the band, Kuba Mankowski. This edition is presented on digipack CD format. DISC 1 1. Immersion I (07:42) 2. Immersion II (10:52) 3. Wither (03:39) 4. Worst Laid Plans (10:45) 5. Deuterium (07:46) 6.
