Mindcage Escape

EN Mindcage Escape formed in February 2012 and is based in Bucharest, Romania. Over the course of its first two years, the band shaped its sound, first songs and line-up. Given its members' musical influences and preferences, the music morphed into a mix of old-school and modern progressive metal. However, the intent has always been not to put labels on the music, but to always keep an open door, an escape if you will, for experiments. 2014 marked the stage debut for Mindcage Escape at the 4th edition of the Black & White Motor Fest organized by the Chopper Academy MC Romania, followed by the Posada Rock 2014 Contest/Festival. The 3-song ‘Straitjacket’ EP has been recorded and released online in the same year. In 2015, together with a new bass player onboard, the band performed for the first time in Bucharest, at the “Ce se intampla, rockere?” bands contest and reached the finals. As a following, in April, Mindcage Escape were invited to perform at Days Of Confusion’s “Dharkata” single and official music video release party and filmed the entire performance with GoPro cams (footage available on the band’s YouTube channel). In the same month, the boys honored Goodbye To Gravity’s invitation to perform at their 2015 comeback show and also returned to the world of bikers, at the Open Season Party, organized by the same Chopper Academy MC Romania. The month of May brought the band’s first festival appearance in 2015, at the Romanian Rock Meeting, a 2-day festival headlined by Blind Guardian. RO Mindcage Escape s-au format in februarie 2012 in Bucuresti. Pe parcursul primilor doi ani, formatia si-a construit sound-ul, primele piese si si-a consolidat formula. Avand in vedere preferintele si influentele muzicale individuale, muzica trupei s-a cristalizat intr-un amalgam de sonoritati old school si moderne de progressive metal. Cu toate acestea, intentia a fost intotdeauna de a nu trasa linii clare in ceea ce priveste stilul abordat, ci de a pastra intotdeauna o usa deschisa catre experiment. Anul 2014 a marcat prima aparitie live a trupei, in cadrul celei de-a 4-a editii a Black & White Motor Fest organizat de catre Chopper Academy MC Romania, urmata de participarea la festivalul concurs Posada Rock 2014. EP-ul ‘Straitjacket’ continand primele 3 piese ale trupei a fost inregistrat si lansat oficial online in acelasi an. In 2015, cu un nou basist la bord, trupa a sustinut primul concert in Bucuresti, pentru concursul “Ce se intampla, rockere?”, in cadrul caruia a ajuns pana in finala. Ca urmare, in aprilie, Mindcage Escape au raspuns invitatiei de a canta in deschiderea concertului de lansare al single-ului si videoclipului piesei “Dharkata”, a celor de la Days Of Confusion, prestatie filmata cu camere GoPro si disponibila pe canalul oficial de Youtube al trupei. In aceeasi luna, baietii au onorat invitatia formatiei Goodbye To Gravity de a evolua in deschiderea primului lor concert pe 2015 si, de asemenea, s-au intors in lumea motoarelor la Open Season Party-ul organizat de aceiasi Chopper Academy MC Romania. Luna mai a adus prima aparitie la un festival pe anul 2015, la Romanian Rock Meeting, un festival pe doua zile avand drept cap de afis formatia Blind Guardian. MINDCAGE ESCAPE - Official Page
