MINDCAGE Release 'The Human Race' Single; Video To Premier At ProgPower Festival
September 4, 2013, 11 years ago
Kinematic Music, a new division of Kinematic Entertainment, will launch this fall with the September 17th release of Our Own Devices from Florida-based progressive metallers MINDCAGE, mixed and mastered by rock legend Michael Wagener.
Mindcage have released the first single, 'The Human Race'. The video for 'The Human Race' will make its world premiere at ProgPower USA this week, with Kinematic Music sponsoring the event and offering Mindcage exclusives to attendees.
'The Human Race' can be heard on rock and specialty radio across the country, and can be purchased on iTunes.
According to a press release, Our Own Devices is a fantasy storybook set to music. Combining cultural and literary elements of steampunk, dystopian society and futuristic technologies with highly articulate progressive metal music, the album transports the listener to a world broken and needing a hero. That oppressive world is devoid of arts, creativity, light, and ultimately, humanity. But from it springs an enigmatic character, Arabella Vash, who is called to The One Constant, a group of rebels who maintain the history and teachings of the last free society.
The core members of Mindcage - Dietrick Hardwick (writer, guitarist), Brian Howell (bass) and Craig Nudo (drums) - have been connected personally and through music for almost thirty years. The significance of this project, for them, is that a lifelong goal has come to fruition. With the addition of power vocalist Jeff Hignite, the intense and unique synergy of writing and performing became apparent.
