PODCAST: Episode - 945 Nick Smith (Blindfolded and Led to the Woods) on New Album

Keefy sits down with Nick Smith, bassist of New Zealand-based progressive death metal collective Blindfolded and Led to the Woods, to discuss the band’s fifth full-length offering, The Hardest Thing About Being God Is That No One Believes Me, out now via Prosthetic Records.The conversation takes place at the end of the band's most recent US tour with Volcandra. The album is an ambitious and immersive work built around obsession, psychological collapse, and emotional disintegration. Exploring what happens when fixation overtakes identity, the record channels the intensity of a psychotic break through tightly constructed progressive death metal, eerie production, and visceral vocal performances.Nick breaks down how the band translated these themes into sound. How they shape intricate arrangements, building narrative cohesion, and balancing technical precision with emotional impact. #BlindfoldedAndLedToTheWoods #NickSmith #ProstheticRecords #ExtremeMetal #MetalInterview#gcshoutout - This video's shoutout is to the band: MISERYhttps://www.instagram.com/miserybandadeathmetal1997/The Usual Suspects: Interview by Ghost Cult Keefyhttps://www.instagram.com/ghostcultkeefyEditing by Omar Cordyhttps://www.instagram.com/ojcpicsTheme music by Salted Woundshttps://www.instagram.com/saltedwoundsnycCheck out our linktree - updated daily with top stories:⁠https://linktr.ee/ghostcultmag
