After 1.5 years of deliberate silence, the 5-piece outfit returns with a grown attitude and hunger
for a new musical chapter. Inspired, motivated, and eager to take fans and new listeners on a
both intensely personal and universally relevant journey, BLIND CHANNEL proudly present their most mature, honest and ambitious album to date: Painstream.

Painstream is BLIND CHANNEL’s 6th studio album, which will be out via Century Media
Records on October 30th, 2026. The 12 new powerful tracks lead through the pain of growth, sharp self-reflection and explosive energy.

The band comments: “In a world filled with uncertainty, conflict and division, pain is one thing all
humans share. Rather than separating us, Painstream explores the idea that pain can unite us,
reminding us of our common humanity. We examine pain from personal, societal and existential perspectives, while also uncovering something unexpected: hope.”

Fans in both Europe and Japan will get the chance to soon experience the Finnish full force live again:
The band has announced a debut show in Helsinki Ice Hall on November 14th, 2026 and will play two live shows in Japan in November 2026.

In addition, BLIND CHANNEL will embark on an extensive Painstream European headlining tour in early 2027. Tickets for the tour will be available on September 3rd, 2026.
