Mentalist Empires Falling

Hardly any other new band has been able to stir up so much dust in the power metal scene in recent years right from the start with their two debut works as the Saarbrücken-based Mentalist. After the great success of the debut "Freedom Of Speech" (2020), the group, consisting of Peter Moog (guitars), Thomen Stauch (drums, ex Blind Guardian), Kai Stringer (guitars) and exceptional singer Rob Lundgren (vocals), just barely missed the German Media Control album charts with their 2021 album "A Journey Into The Unknown" (Trendcharts: #63)! On iTunes, Mentalist posted an impressive #2 as the highest position in the metal charts; in the Facebook group "Power Metal" with more than 110K followers, "A Journey Into The Unknown" was voted the best power metal album of 2021. The third album is now called "Empires Falling" and continues seamlessly from its successful predecessor. With Oliver Palotai (Kamelot) and Mike LePond (Symphony X), the Saarbrücken band again received active support on keyboards and bass. On this album, the outstanding musicians combine great melodies and finely crafted arrangements in epic, rousing and energetic songs, which impressively underline the quality of the band Mentalist. The outstanding artwork is once again by Andreas Marschall (Blind Guardian, Running Wild, among others), while Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe, Pretty Maids, etc.) is again responsible for mixing & mastering. The limited box set, will include among other things, an exclusive plush figure of the Mentalist mascot and a limited edition t-shirt in addition to the CD. A tour for the fall of 2022 is in preparation.
