Blood Brothers

The second album arrived on 20 April 2018, again through Ranka Kustannus, the Finnish independent label owned by Riku Pääkkönen — the founder of Spinefarm Records, who had previously worked with Nightwish, Children of Bodom and Sonata Arctica. Spaz Caroon guests on "Elephant in the Room". One official video came with the record, for "My Heart Is a Hurricane", posted in September 2018. What happened to this album afterwards is more interesting than what happened at the time. The official Finnish chart has it peaking at number 30 in week 33 of 2021 — three months after Eurovision and more than three years after release — and logs eleven weeks on the list, more than any Blind Channel album except the two that went to number one. It reached the physical album chart later still, at number 6 in the first week of 2023. A note on the running order: English Wikipedia prints a different sequence for this record, with the singles moved to the end. The band's own Bandcamp, the label metadata delivered to Deezer and Spotify's own payload all give the order used here.
