MINDSLAVE

Mindslave biography
Based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, MINDSLAVE is a progressive metal band formed in March of 2006 by Sebastian FIORE (guitar, vocals) with the initial intention of being a cover band of various classic hard rock acts from the 70s and 80s. Instead the band evolved through their own compositions into a heavier and more progressive direction musically and began playing live shows. Eventually their initial drummer was replaced by Emanuel CASTINEIRA and the roster, also consisting of Marcelo MOGLIE on bass and Rodrigo TAVERA on keyboards was complete. With this lineup the band recorded their first full length album ''Secular Indulgence'' in 2013, getting a deal with Pulmonar Recordables & PRV Label.

Their music reflects the more melodic side of the DREAM THEATER brand of progressive metal with a strong keyboard presence and smooth, accessible vocals. As of 2015, the band is looking for a new keyboardist, as the talented Rodrigo has departed ways with the band to become a concert pianist.
