The Bendal Interlude Releasing New Album "The Reign Of The Unblinking Eye"

Black Bow Records is pleased to announce the release of a new album from U.K. band The Bendal Interlude. The band, which features two members of thrashers Short Sharp Shock, is best described as a mix of thrash and sludge with bits of psychedelia thrown in for good measure.

According to Black Bow Records, think of 16, Rwake, Eyehategod, Down and Slayer thrown into a blender and you would have a good idea of what the band sounds like.

New album "The Reign of the Unblinking Eye" will be released on April 1st, 2016. Guitarist Stu Taylor said the following about the album:

"After releasing four EPs through Crack Zombie Records, we decided it was high time to write a full LP containing full-bodied tracks the listener could sink their teeth into. We took a shift in direction when writing for the album 'Reign of The Unblinking Eye.' The songs are much more elaborate and have a lot more going on sound-wise than previous releases. We played with time signatures, guitar harmonies, key changes, even laying down a 10-part resonator guitar part. It is by far the heaviest but also most dynamic thing we’ve written to date.

"Previously, lyrical content has been more of an abstract collection of ideas and imagery based around loose themes. With this offering, a more autobiographical approach has been taken with some songs, with themes including time spent with partial face paralysis, a tendency to lose things, favourite tapestry, bare-hand toilet unblocking, plus the usual collection of vaguely connected lists of obscenities.

"We wanted to write a dynamic LP that had melody and atmosphere through use of guitar solos and cinematic samples, whilst maintaining solid, heavy groove."
