Blind Illusion

Blind Illusion is an eclectic American band with roots firmly planted in the thrash metal scene, renowned for blending elements of funk, jazz, and progressive rock into their unique musical tapestry. Emerging from the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1970s, the group was founded by lead guitarist and vocalist Marc Biedermann, whose vision steered the band through various line-up changes and musical explorations. Notably, Blind Illusion gained underground prominence in the 1980s, particularly with the 1988 release of their cult classic album "The Sane Asylum," which showcased their technical prowess and complex compositions. This album featured contributions from notable musicians, including Larry LaLonde and Les Claypool, who would later find fame with Primus.

Despite experiencing periods of hiatus and reformation, Blind Illusion has maintained a dedicated fan base with their uncompromising approach to music. The band's enduring legacy is punctuated by their recent releases, which continue to showcase their ability to evolve while staying true to their thrash roots. With "Wrath of the Gods" and "Protomolecule" marking their latest forays into the studio, Blind Illusion demonstrates they still possess the creative spark that has captivated listeners for decades. The remastered version of "The Sane Asylum" in 2021 introduced their classic sound to a new generation of metal enthusiasts, confirming that Blind Illusion remains a resilient and influential force within the genre.
