Cry to the Blind is a heavy modern rock band from Upstate New York. Focused on creating a theraputic release for their fans, their music takes a positive spin on the negative energy that surrounds us every day.
Their sound has the aggression of current modern rock bands, combined with the soul of music from past generations. Drawing on influences from metal to classic rock, the band channels their musical experience into a sound that is original, thought provoking, and undeniably real.

The Altruistic Messiah ~ Ben Vandagriff ~ The CEO of Rock & Roll ! says
Music is Living in Motion !By conceptual design I've successfully incorporated an obscure semi-random artificially intelligent element of transitional potential throughout every applicable aspect of my artistic creativity.
I am providing this optimal psychological communication, & therefore developing an ideal situational environment that will facilitate the sustained future transformational possibilities in relation to all of my musical compositions.
This is truly a new revelation!
I do this in order to allow the music to forever move forward , to refresh, to remain in transition, in perpetual motion, to organically grow, to become something that's always different from what it just was, to evolve beyond what it is now & to constantly change into what it eventually inevitably might someday become.
I am bringing the music to life !!!!!

I though you might get a kick out of this. My Slice comments for "Hurt" from invisible listeners. But I thought it was really funny.Review date:

the intense humming in the introduction has quite a sinister sort of air to it and builds good tension. the bass fades in well with an inventive bass line. the singer also has some dramatics to the performance in a creepy sort of wayBack to top

What a disturbing song. Very dark. Good lyrics if you enjoy this sort of thing. Our dog disliked the start of the song
