Rise Above is the beyond excellent third studio disc by this outstanding, bad-ass, killer power trio "riff:machine" from Denmark, From start to finish, Blindstone deliver an amazing display of incredible, blues-based guitar heavy riffage. Fronted by the talented/gifted Martin J. Andersen on guitar and vox, the Man is an awesome "six string rock machine" who is prolific in his Hendrix-inspired musical output. An unstoppable heavy guitar tour de force complete with excellent, soul-powered vocals strongly define his vast musicality as he speaks volumes through his instrument. Anderson is a true riff:master who knows what time of day it is when it comes down to the riffage that matters. Blindstone also features the talents of Jesper Bunk on bass and Anders Hvidtfeldt on drums, both awesome players who deliver the Blindstone "Groove Machine" message on solid ground. Brothers Bunk and Hvidtfeldt lock in and nail down a strong musical foundation for Andersen to rip up his guitar with style, class and authority. Blindstone gives the term "power trio" new meaning. True to their heavy '70s roots, Blindstone digs in deep, trips the riffage fantastic and will definitely rock your ass off.
