Wired Mind Sign to HeviSike Records; Mindstate: Dreamscape Due this Fall
German heavy psych trio Wired Mind have inked a deal to release their Mindstate: Dreamscape LP through the label this fall. The band, who thumbs-up the deal above, issued Mindstate: Dreamscape earlier this year independently and will have it out on limited colored vinyl.
Kind of an interesting pattern emerging the last year or so of bands putting out records digitally, meeting with some success in the response and subsequently being picked up by labels for a physical release. Imprints like RidingEasy and STB and so on have done similar, and I guess as a business model it’s not so different from a label picking up a band with a cool demo in the old days, just the manner of initial distribution that’s changed. If it’s sustainable over the longer term, more power to all involved.
The PR wire brought the official announcement:
German heavy psychedelic rock trio WIRED MIND sign to HeviSike Records.
The Hannover three-piece have inked an exclusive deal with UK stoner rock label HeviSike Records to release their debut album ‘Mindstate:Dreamscape’. Originally self-released by the band in March this year, the four-song opus has received a positive reaction from the psychedelic and stoner rock community.
Mindstate:Dreamscape will satisfy both the fan of classic rock and modern European psych. Combining clear influences from 70s legends such as Amon Düül II, Grand Funk Railroad and Black Sabbath but with a modern twist. Nods to Colour Haze, The Machine and Samsara Blues Experiment are evident.
The album follows a journey into the depths of consciousness. Through cosmic jams and the occasional flourish of heavy, the songs explore the intricate caverns of the mind. Imagine a late summer’s sunset. Picture a voyage through the stars. Envisage a collective of minds united by the groove. This is Wired Mind. Mindstate:Dreamscape is just the beginning.
HeviSike Records will be giving the album the much-needed vinyl treatment including new mastering and high quality packaging. The record will be pressed on limited edition colour vinyl and will see worldwide distribution.
Wired Mind are: Chris (drums), Maik (guitar, vox) and Patrick (bass)
Listen to the first single ‘Woman’.
Release date: Friday 25th September 2015
Worldwide distribution via Plastic Head Distribution
