Still Blind are a heavy metal band from the Unterland area in South Tyrol, Italy formed in 1986 by the brothers Reinhold Giovanett, Hartmann Giovanett and Helmuth Giovanett.

History

One of the first metal band in South Tyrol, Still Blind achieved international success during the 1980s, especially thank to their first album Still Blind (1989) and the following European tour (Encyclopaedia Metallum, 2007). As one of the most successful and internationally popular bands from South Tyrol (Úplná databáze populární hudby, UMD, 1999), together with Graveworm and Skanners, Still Blind continued their career with the 1991 masterpiece Whales (The Metal Archives, 2002). After touring for years with the same line up, the band officially split in 2001, but the Giovanett Brothers continued parallel careers within several projects (Italian Metal Encyclopedia, 2001). Helmuth Giovanett started concentrating on ethnic music, and his brother Reinhold published with Josef Oberhollenzer two demo-CDs: Kaspar Hauser (1999) and Hinter den Bergen (2000). In 2004 Reinhold Giovanett founded Godzilla Intermezzo with the guitarist Roland Novak and the drummer Zeljko Marinković. The project started as a Motörhead-Coverband, but became more and more doom–progressive metal oriented, with the album Orgasmatron, published in 2005. The follower band of Still Blind was founded in 2009 by the guitarist Hartmann Giovanett with the name Embryonic Jam. In the years between 2002 and 2007 various names and line ups followed, but the final line up was presented for the first live sessions of Embryonic Jam, with Hartmann Giovanett—guitars, David Tomasi—vocals, bass and Lorenz Rinner—drums.
