Blind Man’s Daughter,” a melodic progressive metal band hailing from Albuquerque, dropped their latest single, “Kyhell.” A standout track off their forthcoming debut album Sundressed, this ambitious work boasts a cutting-edge fusion of genres that pushes the boundaries of modern prog rock while paying homage to progressive genre.
The track starts with dreamy and intricate finger-picked electric guitar accompanied by ethereal vocals. Ashley Wolfe’s powerful vocals slowly take center stage, leaving listeners spellbound by the sheer intensity of her delivery. With the grace of a seasoned storyteller, her vocals fluidly oscillate from ethereal and smooth to thunderous growls that stir the very core of your being.
In the heavier sections, the guitars take center stage, unleashing a whirlwind of intricate techniques that defy genre norms. The interplay between guitars and drums is sheer eargasm. The rise and fall of the music, with drums playing a separate role rather than just backing the guitars and vocals, adds depth and complexity to the overall composition.
Paired with a bassline that delves deep into the sonic abyss and a percussive section that matches the guitar’s speed with astounding depth, “Blind Man’s Daughter” proves they are masters of their craft.
Throughout “Kyhell” there’s an undeniable cohesiveness in the arrangement, yet a thrilling distortion that leaves a sense of unease. Wolfe’s vocals are a dynamic force, leading the track on a whimsical journey of ebbs and flows, making each moment count.
With “Kyhell,” “Blind Man’s Daughter” proved that they’re destined for greatness. If they continue to deliver music that embodies their exceptional talent and innovative approach, their future in the music industry looks incredibly promising, to say the least.
