March 14, 2013, 11 years ago
Kinematic Music is proud to announce the signing of prog-metal pioneers MINDCAGE. The Florida-based band’s upcoming concept album, Our Own Devices, will introduce the world to the character of Arabella Vash, a young woman who uses the power of her sometimes painful dreams to save a dystopian world.
“We are thrilled and grateful to be working with a team that has embraced our record Our Own Devices and regards its story of Arabella Vash as an important work.” says Mindcage founder and leader, Dietrick Hardwick. “Kinematic Music fully 'gets it.' They were able to accommodate the epic scale of our vision in teaming with legendary producer Michael Wagener (OZZY OSBOURNE, METALLICA, ALICE COOPER) for the final recording touches and mixing. Kinematic Music recognized the importance of working with the best in the industry and precisely what was needed to properly convey Arabella's message to a world that needs to hear it.”
According to a press release, the album is "set in an alternate history of a highly plausible future, Mindcage's ground-breaking concept album, Our Own Devices, warns of what may become of our society if we turn our backs on the importance of arts, music, humanities, and spirituality. It also introduces the world to Arabella Vash, a woman on a mission to awaken and enlighten a world gone wrong. Her message will shake humanity to its very core."
Guitarist Dietrick Hardwick comments, "We are very excited to announce that we have chosen Julie Westlake (HYDROGYN) as the voice of Arabella Vash for Our Own Devices. Julie has the power and emotion in her voice needed to convey Arabella's journey and character. She sounds amazing and has a command and range of voice that is just uncanny. It's also been a real dream come true for us to work with one of the greatest record producers of all time, the legendary Michael Wagener. We couldn't be happier!"
"This has just been an extraordinary experience, seeing how everything is coming together. The band works so efficiently with Michael Wagener that they have finished recording ahead of schedule and are now entering the mix phase." cites Executive Producer Ben Galecki, "Michael really knows how to decipher what the band is going for and get the absolute best from them. This is going to be epic!"A video introduction to the album can be seen below. For information on Mindcage go to this location.
