Mindead – Abandon All Hope (CD, Digi)

Beschreibung

German four-piece MINDEAD plays a gritty kind of modern metal with lots of passion and unique flavor and they know what they want. Frontman Timo Fielker and drummer Benjamin Hölle met in 2001 to turn the MINDEAD concept into sound. Right from the beginning the focus was on rhythmic metal that would thrill with anthemic character. MINDEAD were quickly established in the local scene surrounding Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart. The next goal was to break free from the confines of local stardom.

Timo, Pablo, Bene and Ben played shows with respected and big names of the international metal scene such as DevilDriver, Mnemic, Ektomorf, 4LYN and Emil Bulls. Their biggest tour so far saw MINDEAD sharing the stages with nu metal veterans Ill Nino all across Europe. This experience opened MINDEAD`s eyes for the American market. To promote „Abandon All Hope“ in the U.S., the band filmed a video clip for ‚Dark places‘ with a Swabian film team in the summer of 2012. A sombre piece taking place in a run-down storage facility. A perfect setting for MINDEAD`s music! After playing over 200 shows all over Germany and beyond, MINDEAD have perfected their sound. A strong foundation gained more and more depth. Nowadays the band stands for catchy modern metal songwriting: their new songs show off an abundance of ideas and diversion. Aggressive and driven riffing on the one hand – radio-friendly power ballads on the other. The year 2016 brings the fans the long awaited re-release of the first long player „Abandon All Hope“. Not only the original 11 Tracks but also 3 bonus tracks are to find on this re-release. Including a new atmospheric version of the club hit „Dark Places“.
