Band: Eyes Stained Black Location: Columbus, OH Album: Blueprint (EP) Genre: Industrial / Metal Track Picks: “In Your Eyes,” “Something Beautiful” Lowdown: Rough sounding angry German vocal textures (sung in English) to fit the distorted industrial profile of backing Ministry drumming/machine beats, Bile guitars and Cradle of Filth synths. Fans of Rammstein, Crossbread and early Skinny Puppy will likely indulge in this 5-song, 21-minute master of proliferate darkness. Overall, well synced and layered with dominant focus on the music structure and less aim on the simplistic lyrics. The vocals are often hidden in distortion like Dope’s first album. In June, 2009 the band announced the name of their upcoming full album: Paradigm Shift. They also mentioned changes in their music with insights from new band members.
