Blind Channel releases sixth studio album Painstream

Finnish modern metal band Blind Channel has released their sixth studio album, titled “Painstream,” via Century Media Records. The 12-track album explores various dimensions of pain, ranging from personal struggles to broader societal challenges, while also emphasizing themes of hope, community, and strength.

To promote the release, the band launched the single “Messiah” alongside a cinematic music video. Unlike previous videos, the members do not appear in the clip, which focuses on a standalone narrative. The band described the track as exploring faith and fear through a massive, cathedral-like soundscape.

In addition to the album launch, the group recorded a special live session at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, performing tracks including “Into The Void,” “Diana,” and “Deadzone.”
