Polish avant-metal force Blindead 23 has signed to Peaceville Records.
“Good things come to those that wait!” said the band. “It may have taken a while but the effort has been worth it. After two years of hard work, we are very proud to announce that we have signed a worldwide record deal with the legendary Peaceville Records & Mystic Production. Both labels will join forces to release our upcoming full-length album at the beginning of 2026.”
The new album by the band – featuring Patryk Zwoliński (Vocals), Roger Öjersson (Guitars & vocals), Mateusz Śmierzchalski and Maciej Janas (Guitars), Vinicius Nunes (Bass) and Paweł Jaroszewicz (Drums) – is a 53-minute conceptual journey and was recorded and produced by David Castillo (Opeth, Carcass, Katatonia, Leprous) at Studio Gröndahl in Stockholm in the spring of 2023. Mixing and mastering duties are being handled by Kuba Mańkowski, a longtime collaborator whose previous work with the band has helped shape their signature sound.
“Joining the artist roster for Peaceville Records is something we as a group have aspired to since we began playing in bands in the second half of the 1990s,” the band continued. “We grew up listening to many of the classic albums released on the label. So, we are naturally very excited and very much looking forward to what the future holds!”
Peaceville manager Paul Groundwell adds “A richly-deserved growing name in prog metal circles of late, & with much more to come, it is a pleasure for Peaceville to be releasing the fruits of Blindead23’s meticulous creative labour early next year. Stay tuned.”
