Its a new day for Soul Blind, and with the crack of dawn comes Red Sky Mourning, their second LP and debut for Closed Casket Activities due on October 10, 2025. Not only is this the Hudson Valley, NY-based bands spankin new release at a new home, its a snapshot of a band during exponential growth musically, artistically and most importantly in maturity. When the alt-hard rock favorites took the world, and live stages, by storm in the wake of their critically loved and popular 2022 debut Feel it All Around, fans cherished the bands take on 90s alternative in droves. Now with a new sound and a new lease on life, Soul Blind might be utterly unrecognizable from their previous selves. That is until that unmistakable curtain of guitars starts to engulf like molten hot magma, coupled with subterranean melodies that apply a white-knuckle grip around the throat and dont let go. In the best way, naturally.

The first taste of Soul Blinds new reign starts with Hide Your Evil, the bands lead off single and the first track written for the record right after signing with Closed Casket. Opening with a ringing tone before evolving into a battering ram of stop-start guitars and swirling psychedelia, Hide Your Evil channels Helmet, Adrenaline/Around the Fur-era Deftones, and Quicksand among many others in its high-tension clobber. Its the kind of song that can be sung sweetly or moshed to vigorously, which is exactly how they like it. There are these two harmonics that start out the song that Finn has been playing over and over again with no intention of it really becoming something, says guitarist Justin Sarica. The whole song is around this one riff and collectively we were pretty pissed off and angry, so what came out was very hard and very fast. I think this song is also the closest thing to our previous stuff but is emblematic of the vibe we’re trying to catch with the record anger coupled with heaviness while simultaneously opening up to these melodic and pretty sections.
