Myspace Contact TablesHere is a writeup from Snakepit Magazine check it out..Witnessing one of my favorite shows in 2000 (U.D.O./Raven), this southeastern MA quintet put on an impressive opening set of traditional metal with medieval leanings. After the set I locked onto one of their CD's- a 6 song offering that should appeal to people who have albums from CAGE or SEVEN WITCHES. Lead vocalist "The Hankster" has a nastier edge to his delivery, able to shriek will on a cut like "Selected" while remaining emotive on a ballad like "Scarborough Rain". Unlike most independent CD's where bands have difficulty writing songs of differing tempos, SLIGHT OF MIND can create individual tunes that mix up dynamics/ contrasts. I can tell guitarist/keyboardist Gary Garcia must have SAVATAGE as an influence- the whole era of Criss Oliva pops up in a song like the 6 minute plus "Dreamstate" with the clean intro and the pounding main riff. You'll have to crank the stereo a little for ideal listening (as this CD was recorded clear but a little low). Not many US bands are willing to take 80's roots and try to produce fresh metal in 2000- SLIGHT OF MIND deserves more listeners and I await more good shows/ recordings to come. Matt Coe
