Feb 20, 2025With ‘Blindness’, The Murder Capital have crafted an album that feels both urgent and timeless. Simply put, it’s nothing short of a triumph.
-
Feb 26, 2025It’s a record that captures The Murder Capital at their most raw and uncompromising – alive in the turbulence, unafraid of what lies within and around them.
-
Feb 21, 2025‘Blindness’ revolutionises The Murder Capital’s sound once more and this prioritisation of urgency and energy brings an infectious listen.

MojoFeb 20, 2025With both McGovern's baritone soul-mining and Damien Tuit's mercurial six-string electrifying throughout, Blindness should rightly see these Irishmen advance to the Premier Division. [Apr 2025, p.83]

Feb 24, 2025Welcome evidence of a still young band stretching themselves and maturing at a pleasing pace. [Mar 2025, p.105]

Feb 21, 2025There’s no build-up here – the record begins at maximum intensity, a full throttle barrage of chainsaw guitars and hyperspeed drums. .... The problem, however, is that immediacy can be a double-edged sword – there are points on ‘Blindness’ calling out for more work.

UncutFeb 20, 2025The inconsistent textures, pace and flow of the album all point to a band still trying to work out who they are. [Feb 2025, p.37]
