Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, Mindfall started playing together in 2002, making fast, moshy metal with nods to bands like Slipknot and At The Gates. After some initial line-up changes, the band was made out of Thommy on guitar, Alex on drums, Erik on bass and Axel on vocals.After an intense season of rehearsals and some scattered shows, the band managed to win the local competition Gteborgstalangen later the same year. This resulted in the bands highly acclaimed first release, a four-track demo, From The Barren, which earned the prestigious title "Bst i Sverige!" in Close-Up Magazine and a top-score review in Sweden Rock Magazine. This, in turn, led the band on to a number of shows all over Sweden. Mindfall also ran a metal club of their own for a few months in Gothenburg, doing what they could to support the local scene.Taking some time off from live shows to work on faster, harder, angrier music, Mindfall has just finished the very best of their new material for their second release, Aum 1. The songs are short, brutal, rythmic killing machines aimed straight at your spine. Going far beyond the traditional Gothenburg sound, Mindfall combines the relentless pounding technicality of contemporary metal with the pure uncompromising fury of hardcore.So as Aum 1 is ready to get unleashed on your speakers, the band is doing some finishing touches on Aum 2. And with a whole bunch of new acquaintences, as well as some long time friends in the line-up, the Mindfall camp has just gotten a bit bigger and a hell of a lot harder. Stay tuned as the shit hits the fan......
