Story Time
Luxembourgish Extreme Progressive Metal band Mindpatrol specialized in storytelling through its music ever since the band’s birth in 2012. In order to breathe life into the worlds and characters of their imagination, Mindpatrol use all means loud and capable of drawing an image in front of the listeners’ inner eye. Most of their albums are accompanied by self-written (German only) novels, so the listeners can prepare for a longer stay in their narrative universes.
After 4 concept albums, Mindpatrol follow up with an EP based on Naoki Urasawa’s manga series “Monster”. This intense psychological thriller proved to be an ideal breeding ground for new ideas, pushing the band out of the established comfort zone time and again. “Monster” will be released on April 12th.
Mindpatrol’s music relies on Extreme Progressive Metal’s most important pillars: broken expectations, odd time signatures and neck crushing riffs as well as intimate, somber moments and a straightforward groove every once in a while. From these ingredients Mindpatrol forge their very own, characteristic sound that sets them apart in the modern Progressive Metal landscape.
