about
Mindstab was formed in the summer of ’96 in Lichtervelde, West-Flanders, Belgium. Many gigs and constructive criticism resulted in a first 5-track self-titled mini-cd (1998) through Polar Bear Records/Rough Trade. Despite the fact that it was a low-budget recording, it set the tone and made it obvious what Mindstab was all about; get rid of your prejudices and leave out all boundaries – just listen and feel... The first full-cd emphasized this sensation even stronger with 13 new tracks on the album “Borderlined” (2000), which was distributed by Creeptown Records/Good Life. The title of the album refers to the ‘borderlined disorder syndrome’, and indicates that you can’t just simply push this band into a specific style. One of the most important features of this band is the use of extremes, both on the musical and the vocal level. The music incorporates various genres, and by blending all these alternative, rock and metal-styles in a brilliant mix, it puts Mindstab within the new generation of metal bands. Mindstab shared stages with bands like Cro-mags, Caliban, Heideroosjes, Sinister, Transport League, Rock Bitch, After All, Hard Resistance, Kreator, Deviate, Liar, Callenish Circle, Blind Justice, Congress, Brotherhood Foundation, Channel Zero, Paranoiacs, Major Crime League, Bloodsessions, Length Of Time, Uncle Meat, Pro-pain, Do or die .... The growing interest in Mindstab also resulted in them replacing Disturbed at the Earect festival 2001, which also featured Papa Roach
