About Mindmaze
MindMaze are a promising band like no other. In a time when female-fronted metal is at an all-time high in popularity but also at an all-time high for copycats and imitators, MindMaze has striven hard to forge their own sound and identity. Hailing from Allentown, Pennsylvania (United States) the four-piece band are young (all aged 23-25), but have honed their craft with over countless gigs spanning over 350+ miles, including sharing the stage with metal mainstays such as Saxon, Doro, Overkill, Primal Fear, Jon Oliva's Pain, Circle II Circle, Fozzy, George Lynch, Raven, and many more. The band's debut album Mask of Lies has been hailed by fans and critics all over the world as an outstanding piece of independent metal that is refreshing while being firmly rooted in many classic metal mainstays. With no label support, management, or outside hired promotion, the band managed to sell copies of Mask of Lies to fans in 34 of 50 United States and a total of 17 countries worldwide, selling 90% of the album's first pressing in the first 10 months of its release. On the heels of Mask of Lies' success, the band has begun work on their sophomore effort Back From The Edge (2014), due October 24th in Europe and October 28th in USA/Canada via Inner Wound Recordings, featuring artwork by MONOWASP (Seventh Wonder, Harem Scarem, Brazen Abbot, Crash Diet, many more), Symphony X bassist Mike LePond on all tracks, and guest appearances by members of Stratovarius, Pharaoh, LORD, and Draekon.
