Label: Deathwish

Reviewer: Derek Link: http://www.deathwishinc.com

The Blinding Light is: Josh: Drums - Brian: Vocals - Tim: Guitar - Chad: Guitar - Terry: Bass

The last time we heard from these wild ****ers I said; ".....in the case of The Blinding Light they pull the Slayer thing off (minus Kerry king busting out mind blowing guitar solo's), while throwing in just enough Hardcore to keep me interested. I'm looking forward to the full length effort sometime in 2003, and so should you!" Well it took em longer then expected to get this record out, but it is safe to say that "The Ascension Attempt" is the first significant release of 2004. It is the perfect unison of Slayer vocals, Converge insanity, and pile driving moshcore sludge! Finally a band that burns it's own path instead of tip toeing down the same road.

"Wake Up/ The Wind Up" is my favorite song of 2004 thus far. Brian's sounds so much like Tom Araya, and hearing that kind of voice with Converge like destruction really works. The energy is captured perfectly, and the sludgy fudge of the guitars is a unique sound to be included with this type of music.

As you dig deeper into the record, the band travels off on some dark musical tangents that would spook a ghost. But fear not......the riffs are consistent through out, the energy always comes back to bite your crotch, and Brian's pipes will make you grind your teeth. Another aspect of the CD that is worth noting, is the sparking crunch in the production. It has almost a crackling pinch to it, a real raw and cold sound. Very unique!

Get this record! If you're looking for a unique sound that rocks.....then The Blinding Light is your band! They give the perfect ode to their musical inspirations, while keeping their sound real, and thankfully fresh!

Pit Scale: 10, some people wont get this record (due the unyelding bloodshed), but give it an honest listen real loud...and see if you catch where they are going!
