Danish modern metallers MNEMIC's new album, Mnemesis, was released on June 8th in Europe, and on June 19th in North America via Nuclear Blast.

Mnemesis has debuted at #39 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart with first-week sales in excess of 700 units. Besting Sons Of The System’s Billboard Heatseekers #64 debut in 2010, guitarist/songwriter Mircea Gabriel Eftemie took a break from conducting his radio interviews to share the following reaction:

“Good news for the Mnemic campfire machine: we climbed the charts by 25 positions since the last album! A big thumbs up and thanks to everyone at Nuclear Blast USA who have been promoting the album like there is no tomorrow. Most importantly, to everyone that bought a copy of the new album, we highly appreciate the support and are eternally thankful towards all of you out there! Actually, we are throwing out eternal thank-yous-thumbs-ups-cheerios and ‘skål for helvede og mojn i øjn’ to everyone involved! That means ‘Cheers Goddamnit and see you!’ in Danish. See you very soon on tour both in Europe and the US!”

Mircea Gabriel Eftemie, bored with the standard fare of track-by-track commentaries, decided to have a little fun and headed down to his friend ex-HATESPHERE/RAUNCHY drummer Morten Toft Hansen’s house for some dinner and a game of word association. Eftemie read him the Mnemesis track names, recorded Morten’s responses, and then did a word association on his word association. The results are below (Eftemie’s responses in bold).

'Transcend' = Meditation - "StegtFlæsk med persille sovs. I have no idea what that’s called in English, but it’s a great Viking dish."

'Valves' = Heart Surgery - "Keep working out with metal music in your ears and stop eating junk food."

'Junkies On The Storm' = Face-Eating Drug Addicts - "Never judge."

'I’ve Been You' = Peter Frampton’s 'I’m In You' (Live) - "Great haircut."

'Pattern Platform' = The International Space Station - "Mass data acquisition."

'Mnemesis' = Public Enemy (the band) - "Great band and the true representation of rap with political twists that blows every R&B; artist out of the water."

'There’s No Tomorrow' = Atomic Bombs - "Too complicated and obsolete warfare; imagine what you can do with viruses these days."

'Haven At The End Of The World' = Galileo Galilei - "Pizza in the sky."

'Ocean Of Void' = The Mariana Trench - "Jules Vernes goldmine."

'Blue Desert In A Black Hole' = Stephen Hawking - "He was portrayed in The Simpsons and has his cartoon toy-figure in his office."
