Metal Mind Productions recently announced the release of Humagination, the sophomore album from Poland-based metallers EXLIBRIS. Combining the energy of traditional heavy metal and hard rock with melodic hooks and complex arrangements since the end of 2003, Exlibris stands for rockin' guitars, distinct rhythms, epic orchestrations and powerful lead vocals.

Humagination was recorded in March and is scheduled for release on October 21st in Europe and November 5th in North America (via MVD). 12 songs with fresh melodic heavy metal ideas, three guest appearances, stellar production, world-class vocals and catchy melodies – it’s an ideal album that should appeal to fans of DREAM THEATER, IRON MAIDEN and MASTERPLAN.

The album was produced by Mariusz Konik and Robert Wawro from HZ Studio. The mix and mastering was done by Tomasz Zalewski in ZED Studio.

"Work on the album took us quite a long time and of course we have encountered a few difficulties. Luckily, we have managed to solve them. The interest of such a big company as Metal Mind Productions lets us believe that we did something good. We are convinced that thanks to our co-operation our music will reach a large number of fans of melodic heavy metal not only in Poland but also worldwide.” - Piotr ‘Voltan’ Sikora (keyboards)

The artwork was prepared by Michal "Xaay" Loranc, known from his previous work for bands like NILE, BEHEMOTH, KAMELOT, VADER and DECAPITATED.
