"Rohkea rokan sy?", or to loosely translate this Finnish saying: "Fortune Favours The Brave". Truly, none have been braver than Blind Channel.?Focusing intently on their mission to take their brand of infectiously ferocious nu-metal outside of Finland's linguistic restrictions this bravery is engrained within. "It took me eight years to become an overnight success", this line, buried away in Blind Channel's fourth album Lifestyles Of The Sick & Dangerous is where their uncompromising journey finds its continuation. Furiously fighting their way into the worldwide mainstream, the six-piece have always been embracing their influences, from nu-metal iconoclasts to pop and hip-hop behemoths, it's all a part of Blind Channel's DNA. That's the key to their draw, they're only interested in sticking true to themselves while studiously searching for the keys to unlock the doors of success. Blind Channel knew that they had something to process. Not only the "modern-day misery" plaguing the world, as Joel puts it, but also proving that they could deliver more than the crowd-pleasing anthem of 'Dark Side'.?Lifestyles Of The Sick & Dangerous?is a lashing, brutal, bravado and swagger filled, sincere depiction of their lives, backed by their trademark unforgiving "violent pop music". As well as a winking homage to the Good Charlotte track Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous, it's most importantly a righteous statement of intent. That this is only the beginning.
