Influences
Influences for Mathias Holm who writes the music:
Dream Theater, Mike Oldfield, Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Al Di Meola, Tony Macalpine, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Pink Floyd, Queensrÿche, Frank Zappa etc. I listening to all kinds of music and I think everything leaves a mark in my Mind.
It all began in the late 80s / early 90s when Mathias an H.B ended up in the same band The n Sin which was an offspring of H.B.s thrash metal band Fury. The n Sin played glam / sleaze rock a la G n R, Poison, Kingpin etc. Unfortunately (or not?!) the band split up but Mathias and H.B. continued to write songs together, it worked out fine and they wrote several songs until they went separate ways in 92.
And now more than 10 years later they hooked up and found out that they have much more to give each other and rest of the world creatively and they complement each other very well. They asked Conny, currently working with Mathias on his soloproject, to join this brainwash that he madly did.
The idea to get together again came up when H.B. found his great old, old grandfather Xerxes Andersons (a.k.a. Prof. Xandau 1807 ~ 1851) notes from his therapy sessions. Prof. Xandau was a very respected therapist during the first half of 19th century an had his sessions all over the world based in both Europe and the U.S. These notes are the solid ground to this project and are used to tell a true story about psychological thoughts and human behaviours. The memory notes declare whats going on in the human mind in different situations and there are no names involved so its totally anonymous. Its fantastic literature and breathtaking reading, the human brain is very complex and odd. You can say it for sure lives its own life.
Musically MindSplit is a mixture of
Progressive Metal and Classical hard rock.
~ The Charmed Human Art Of Significance will give you the answers~
A clever illusion, this exterior I wear Cleverly built to hide, meant to conceal The dark reality that I hide deep inside Tucked away behind an artificial ideal
The rest of the world has no way to know The thoughts that plague my twisted mind This show I put on for the rest of the world Leaving them guessing, leaving them blind
We spend our lives hiding behind masks,so afraid to step out and look life square in the eyes. We pretend to find something else to look or stare at the ground at rather than meeting each other eye to eye. We chase shadows to avoid reality. We chase shadows to hide from life.
