About Maybe Mental

Maybe Mental were another largely-forgotten post-industrial act in the late 80s. Likely best-known for their split 1987 LP with Controlled Bleeding (entitled 'Halved'), Maybe Mental were formed in Arizona in 1982 by David Oliphant. The group mined the atmospheric industrial arena as well or better than most of their underground peers. Their 1985 cassette release, 'To Cease Burning', was a textural post-industrial landscape of tonal fragments, cinematic noise, and fractured collages--which still holds up next to any modern-day experimental outfit.
