Nu-Zealand metal hits the spott

Kiwi nu-metallers, Blindspott, reviewed in NSTP after performing before 45,000 fans in Indonesia. “In a frenzy of tattoos, studs and machismo, six huge, six-foot blokes from NZ exploded onto the … stage like a hurricane and swept up everything in their path with their raw animal magnetism.” The band’s debut album (already double-platinum in NZ) is currently No.2 on the Indonesian charts, and its first single Nil By Mouth  is No.1. Says guitarist, Marcus Powell: “We all may not speak the same language, but we can still have a good time.”
