UMUR
Blind Existence is the debut full-length studio album by Polish death metal act Sceptic. The album was released in 1999 by Mystic Productions.

The music on the album is technical death metal greatly influenced by early- to mid-nineties Death ( the band). Especially the guitar riffs are sometimes very similar to the riffing style of Death but the technical drumming is also in the vein of the most technical drumming on the last couple of Death albums. Sceptic isn´t what I would call a clone though. They also display original ideas. The instrumental track Outworld and the progressive ( with clean singing) Painful Silence are the two tracks that set themselves apart the most from the rest, but those two tracks also provide inconsistency and some style confusion. Especially the latter, which sounds a bit out of place on the album. Talking of consistency the quality of the tracks vary a bit too much on Blind Existence and especially near the end of the album I´m beginning to wonder if it´s the same band who recorded the first couple of brilliant technical death metal tracks as the one who recorded the last couple of mediocre death metal assaults. It´s a shame because when Sceptic are best they are actually really great.

The production leaves a bit to be desired too. The bass sounds a bit thin and metallic ( especially the slap-bass parts sound very thin) and the snare drum sound is rather horrible. It sounds like someone is beating the crap out of a dry piece of wood.

Blind Existence is to some extent a very enjoyable album, but it´s simply too inconsistent in quality to deserve more than a 3 star rating.
