CYDEMIND

Cydemind biography
The music of CYDEMIND is mixing Progressive Rock, jazz, classical and Progressive metal with influences of DREAM THEATER, HAKEN, NEAL MORSE, Avishi COHEN and Tigran HAMASYAN. The violin of Olivier ALLARD is playing a huge role in the music. They released "Through Mist and Ages" in 2014 and their single "What Remains" in 2015, and now the quintet (violin, bass, piano, guitar, drums) have just released their first full-length album. entitled "Erosion", its six tracks are centered around the theme of nature and its persistence through time. Epic is the word here, with one track clocking in at an impressive 27 minutes. The violin leads and guides the listener through the complex rhythms and structures of each song. The presence of the grand piano throughout the album also adds a touch of classical music to it. On top of those unique characteristics, Erosion displays all the musical elements which a prog fan could wish for: heavy riffing, catchy choruses (if they can be called choruses!), crazy solos, odd-time grooves, etc.
