The Bendal Interlude Premieres "Reign Of The Unblinking Eye"

We're only one single day away now from the official release of The Bendal Interlude's "Reign of the Unblinking Eye," due to drop Friday, April 1st via Blow Bow Records.

Some of you simply can't wait that long to hear this psychedelic thrash/sludge mixup though, and we don't blame you! Today we're giving you the chance to hear all of "Reign of the Unblinking Eye" a full 24 hours in advance of the release - listen in below.

After spinning these nine sick new tracks from the U.K. band, there's still time to pre-order the album through Black Bow here. Guitarist Stu Taylor also comments:

"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."
