MYND‘s second album "Twisting The Affair" finds the band further exploring and enhancing the sound and style they had established with their previous effort "Awake" in 2015, the debut album that has received many outstanding international press reviews and put MYND on the map of fans of finest progressive rock.

While one can surely find elements of classic prog rock in the MYND sound (you name the names), one can also trace a variety of very different influences. Therefore, a good dose of metal, some melodic AOR as well as neo-alternative prog elements, even some occasional splashes of Jazz/Fusion are all melt together and make the ingredients of MYND’s rather unusual style.

In that sense, the band’s first single excerpt "The Lurking Truth (Ordinary Man)" is a good example of the band’s unique sound but if you think this is enough to categorize MYND you better think again: The new album "Twisting The Affair" offers a lot more to discover with each single one of the 8 tracks featuring its very own flavor and sounding quite different to one another. While the album opener "Rise To Die” or the following "I Would” are leaning towards the heavier side, other songs such as the mellow, yet atmospheric build-up in "Momentum" or the quite experimental "Continental Drift" with its underlying "jazzy" feel in the verses, paint a completely different picture of the MYND sound.

 The diversity also mirrors in the lyrical content, covering a variety of different subjects and although every song stands for its own, the complexity of human nature, of interpersonal relationships and of the consequences that come with every decision one makes is an underlying theme that echoes through the whole album. As Marc, singer and lyricist of the band describes: "You can always look at things from very different angles and from each angle you can create your very own story. It’s YOUR truth. You’re in the director’s chair. You can define it. You can form it. You can twist it. And whatever result you want to achieve, it is in your hands…“

 The new album was recorded over the course of two years (yes, pandemic has had an effect on the schedule) and engineered and produced by MYND’s guitarist Erik Grösch at NEWAY Studios, Germany. Erik is also the artistic mastermind behind the exceptional concept art that complements the album.

 "We are very proud of the new record and hope that the new songs will find the attention of open-MYNDded, prog rock aficionados worldwide." says the band.

 "Twisting The Affair" is available on all streaming platforms and is also available on CD to order via the band’s website.
