About Me

Paul Barfo of Godstomper wrote:Sacramento - the capital of the mighty state of California and home to Mental Stagnation, a essential band that defies categorization and creates their own sound and style harken to say post /new wave art punk and late 70's goth. A 4 piece consisting of drums, keyboard synth , bass guitar and female vocals , they create very dreary and dreamy abstract songs about cats and being deceived. Probably they can be compared to Ruebella Ballet or Siousee Soux on acid. In a landscape filled with neo 80's hardcore bands who are going post hardcore , tough guy metal crap , tech metal , art noise pop folk whatever and other pretentious forms of musical expressionism , Mental Stagnation truly are the alternative and not a alternative.
