Blind Illusion

Blind Illusion - The Sane Asylum 1988 01. Blind Illusion - The Sane Asylum, 1988 CD
     Metal Mind Productions - MASS CD DG 1095
As advertised in all the zines, Larry Lalonde plays guitar in Blind Illusion, so as a true Possessed disciple, I blindly buy The Sane Asylum. After the initial disappointment of getting melodic thrash metal instead of brutalizing Seven Churches death metal, I let it gather dust until the sunny day of 1990 when I buy the invincible Frizzle Fry and notice these are the Blind Illusion dudes, Lalonde and Les Claypool. So I play The Sane Asylum again and I've loved it ever since. What an adventure!
LP not rippable, too many cracks, so you get the excellent MM CD reissue.
No I have not heard the 2010 album, the reviews do not make it too appealing...
!ZER Blind Illusion ZER!
Remove brackets and unzip: [Frizzer fry]

  1. Thanks for this. Every late 80s thrash album cover brings back record shop memories... Saturday afternoon pre-drinking meeting spot - front of punk/hardcore/thrash section...then walk through city centre en masse to park, bag of records in one hand, bag of beer in the other...
