Changeling Release Blindfolded Guitar Playthrough

CHANGELING, the progressive death metal band led by guitarist Tom "Fountainhead" Geldschläger (ex-Obscura), is releasing a blindfolded guitar playthrough of "World? What World?". Shot in studio and taken from the band’s debut album, Changeling, the playthrough turns the song into a single uninterrupted performance, with Fountainhead navigating its shifting time signatures and tremolo-picked runs entirely by feel.

"World? What World?" is one of the most punishing songs on Changeling. Built on 260 bpm blast beats and a brass arrangement scored for an ensemble of Wagnerian tubas, it stages a confrontation with fear and the unconscious mind, Losing the visual reference point of the fretboard turns the new guitar playthrough into a demonstration of muscle memory as much as musicianship, a fitting angle for a song built around the collapse of perceptual certainty.

Changeling moves through four distinct chapters. The album opens in tech-death vocabulary, rooted in Fountainhead's work on Obscura's album Akroasis. It closes with "Anathema", the 16-minute successor to his own "Weltseele."

Catch Changeling on the band’s first European headline tour this November with Obsidian Tide.
