ASSORTED HEAP - MINDWAVES
ONE MAJESTIC DEATH/THRASH ASSAULT!
Mindwaves was Assorted Heap's second and final studio album. It was released in 1992 through 1MF Records. Their first album was more raw and evil but Mindwaves had a more mature approach. The album is epic and majestic but also very progressive at times. Without turning their backs on their thrash origins. This album makes me think of Sepultura around Arise, It certainly has that kinda dry early 90's production. But perhaps not fully as fast or aggressive as Sepultura in their prime, this is more in the mid-tempo region. I can also hear a little bit of Metallica's And Justice For All.., Sodom's Agent Orange and Testament's New World Order here. That is certainly not bad albums to be compared with.
Mindwaves is professionally produced and recorded. But the vocals by Dirk Schiemann aren't the most memorable. I think Mindwaves are one of the best thrash metal albums of 1992. Truly one of the last solid albums from a dying genre.
