genre. Fans of Within Temptation, Epica and Nightwish should check out
this band!" "These are not just any strong band comparisons. MindShade surely knows what they are doing." "...MindShade's
music can be described as quite melancholic and would be perfect for a
nice soundtrack on a rainy Sunday afternoon in autumn." "Musically, it's well constructed with very nice riffs. A nice demo from a good band. Keep it up!"Zwaremetalen.com Websites and social mediaOfficial website: www.mindshade.nl |
