The Blind Passengers grew up in the non-allied sector of East-Berlin, Germany, behind the iron curtain around 1987. Two years after the fall of the wall they released their first album “The Glamour Of Darkness”. Now the Blind Passengers are one of the most well-known industrial-metal bands in Germany. Their forth longplayer Bastard (released in G.A.S. by EPIC Records/Sony Music) was the first Blind Passengers-CD that entered the official German Album Charts. “Hammer” and “Break Out” two of the biggest german rock magazines put Blind Passengers in the record of the month position for may 99. Now they released in Germany their new and to date most successful CD “Neosapiens” at Goldrush /BMG (release in U.K. & Ireland by Iris Light Records, in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus & Baltic Staates by Irond Rec., in Czech Rep. & Slovakia by Sony Music). “Neosapiens” was 5 weeks in the TOP 10 of the official German Alternativ Charts (Peakposition:6). The science-fiction-novel “Neosapiens” (written by Blind Passengers-mastermind Nik Page) was released parallel to the new Blind Passengers-CD and got sole first-rate reviews by the literary critics.
The last four years the Blind Passengers took part in more than 70 big european rock festivals (such as Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Wacken-Open Air, Arvika-Festivalen, Zillo-Open Air, Dynamo - North Power Jam, Go Bang and much more) and played on one stage with David Bowie, The Prodigy, Sisters Of Mercy, Type O Negative, Dog Eat Dog, Front 242, Skunk Anansie, Clawfinger and many more.
