“1994:
THE AFTERGLOW” is a slice
of history from one of the most critically
acclaimed progressive bands of recent years
– MIND’S EYE.
The
Swedish progressive rock / metal masters
in conjunction with Lion Music offer up
their little heard 1994 debut album “The
Afterglow”.
Re-mastered
by Daniel Flores and re-packaged with all
new artwork by artist Carl-André
Beckston (Monowasp), the album is wrapped
up with a variety of bonus features (including
the bands debut video – Castle Of
Eternity), all showing the humble beginnings
of the band who released arguably 2007’s
most critically acclaimed progressive metal
masterpiece and world first triple pack
release (cd/dvd/comic) in “A Gentleman’s
Hurricane”.
Being
the first ever release by Mind's Eye, this
is a genuine chance to get to know the band
as they started their career. Back then
the bands core of Daniel Flores and Johan
Niemann along with original singer German
Pascual and guitarist Fredrik Grunberger
proved they already knew that they wanted
to show the world that good music CAN be
created with discipline and emotion. Sounds
like a paradox? Not for Mind's Eye.
The
musicianship and song writing on “1994:
The Afterglow” belies the bands tender
years at the time, Daniel and Fredrik where
18, German was 20 and Johan was only 15.
Musically the band had the same goal as
they do today. What they didn’t have
back then was the experience and knowledge
they have today, yet this album shows the
unique seeds for future works and any listener
will be hard pressed not to appreciate the
talent on offer even today some 14 years
on from original release.
"1994

musical adventure of Mind's Eye.
