Blinded by faith started in 1996 when five young musicians
got together to live their common passion: metal music.
In the fall of ’97, with the addition of a keyboard,
the band moved to more melodic and orchestrated pieces.
Then, they played some shows before recording their first
demo “Veiled Hideousness”. This cd received
good critics and an awesome response from the audience.
In 2000, BBF did extensive promotion for this demo: many
interviews and shows all around the province of Quebec.
The band reached the finals at two contests: the “Polliwog”
in Montreal and “Envol et Macadam” in Quebec
city. These contests gave them much exposure and enabled
them to spread their name on a larger scale. After lots
of line-up changes, they found the perfect formation,
the actual members of the sextet are: Tommy Demers (vocals),
Danny Émond (keyboard), Vincent Roy (bass), Julien
Marcotte (drums), Daniel Gingras and Pascal Côté
(guitars). In August 2002, BBF entered New Rock Studios
in Quebec city for a two-months recording session. The
result of this is BBF’s first official album “Under
an Occult Sun” released through Galy Records. With
more mature song writing, complex arrangements and a topnotch
production, this album fully displays BBF’s potential
and creativity. The shows they did for the album releases,
in front of enthusiastic crowds, established themselves
as solid live performers with a place in the forefront
of Quebec’s metal scene.
