Blind Illusion was formed by-15 year
old Mark Biedermann, along with
drummer Bret Hern and bassist Les
Claypool (PRIMUS!). The band's
earliest sound had been musically
rooted as progressive metal, with
Biedermann citing as his main
inspirations Rush, King Crimson, Led
Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Van Halen and
Jethro Tull. However, external
input from later musicians, many with
ties to the Bay Area thrash scene
would add a Thrash Metal direction to
the band. Blind Illusion had already released 2 demos
by 1983. During this period, Blind
Illusion played extensively with
bands such as Exodus, Testament, Death
Angel, Metallica and Possessed
playing shows throughout the area
throught the 80's. Mark Biedermann
took over vocal duties in place of
former singer Dave White who left the
band to join Heathen and released a
third demo Trilogy of Terror that
was produced by Metallica`s guitarist
Kirk Hammett.
Blind Illusion is currently touring and
recording new music in 2019!!!
Fronted by the band creator Mark
Biedermann on Lead Guitar and Vocals,
and featuring Doug Piercy of Heathen
and Anvil Chorus on Dual Lead
Guitar. With rock solid Bay Area music
scene veterans Erik Cruze on the

Illusion would like to thank our
record label World in Sound Music and
Thomas Tegelhutter of Head Bangers
Open Air Festival for bringing the band
to play in Europe for the first
time in history in 2017. Due to rave
reviews at the HOA, Oliver
Weisheimer brought the band back to
Europe to perform at the Keep it
True Festival in 2018 for another epic
show. With brand new songs and
an EP we are once again heading back to
Europe to play the Heavy Metal
Maniacs Festival in the Netherlands
this coming 21st September 2019!
