Who We Are

We are The Blind Siberian: Tamás Szász and Zoltán Rácz, a two-piece band from Hungary. Our style is primarily instrumental and can best be described as alternative, incorporating elements of post-rock, synthwave, industrial, dungeon synth, and metal.

What Defines Our Sound

Our music moves between guitars, synthesizers, noise and silence — blending post-rock, synthwave, industrial, dungeon synth and metal into cinematic, visual instrumental soundscapes built around themes of a post-apocalyptic world.

Our Story

2019 — Prologue

The EP features three compositions: “Prologue,” which was used in the Retroshock! YouTube channel’s video titled “CHERNOBYL | The Birth of the Zone”; “Mama,” a musical adaptation of a poem by Attila József; and “1942,” which includes an excerpt from a speech by Robert Anthony Eden, former British Foreign Secretary and later Prime Minister. The mixing and mastering of the EP were carried out by MSKSound Studio.
2020 — Neon Pages

The EP contains four tracks: “Centuria,” “S.P.M.,” “Astral Avenue,” and “Obsidian.” Stylistically, the release leans more towards synthwave, while also incorporating post-rock elements. The mixing and mastering were done by “Varázsszakáll Keverteki” from Zengőkert Studio. We also created animated visualisers for every track on the EP.
February 2021

The BLUME YouTube channel selected five of our tracks from our EPs and included them in the playlist “Night Work | Beautiful Chill Mix,” which has reached more than 614,000 views to date. This significantly increased the views and subscriber count of our YouTube channel, as well as the listenership of our music on streaming platforms.
June 2021

The Virtua Waves YouTube channel featured our track “S.P.M.” in its playlist “Moonlight - A Relaxing Synthwave/Chillwave/Retrowave Mix.” In the same month, we also created a cover video of Katatonia’s song “Second” together with Máté Gurszki, vocalist of the Miskolc-based band Absuloth, formerly known as Collisborn.
March 2022

In March 2022, we covered the song “Hidden Valley” by Black Hill & Silent Island. Then, in April 2022, thanks to a grant announced by the Petőfi Cultural Agency, we began working on our full-length album with the help of Iamyank.
October 2023 — Csalogány

While working on our full-length album, we also created a three-track EP as part of the Petőfi Cloud Project. The EP, titled “Csalogány,” was released in October 2023. It contains three compositions: “Csalogány,” “Fergeteg,” and “Vész.” All three tracks are unique musical adaptations of poems by Sándor Petőfi. A new element on this release is the appearance of vocals.
September 2024 — Echoes of Forgotten Times

At the invitation of Black Hill band, we created an eight-track acoustic guitar-based cover album, which was released in September 2024. The album was also featured on the post-rock themed YouTube channel In the Woods.
February 1, 2025 — Fimbulvetr

Our seven-track full-length album Fimbulvetr was released on February 1, 2025. The album explores the idea of a frozen, dystopian world.
2026 — Erdő itt bent

In September 2026, we released *Erdő itt bent*—an EP created in collaboration with the band Itinera. Spanning the changing seasons, the EP traces the emotional stages of a human connection: the initial meeting, the time spent together, the farewell, and everything that remains. We would be grateful if you could spare some time to listen to our music.
