Mastermind

dave wyndorf, legendary monster magnet frontman, established himself as a driving force in the rock scene no later than with the mega hit "space lord". the band's 8th album, "mastermind", impressively continues the tradition of delivering larger-than-life riffs and killer grooves. some of the best examples of this inclination are its first two tracks, "hallucination bomb" and "bored with sorcery", which also loudly declare that regardless of dave wyndorf's recent personal difficulties, he has not forgotten how to sing. such an authentic and sweeping vocal achievement is rare in this day and age. the track "gods and punks" is the ultimate rock song, and will certainly find a revered place in the annals of guitar rock history to serve as a blueprint for future generations. "mastermind" was produced by matt hyde (staind, slayer, hatebreed), who provides the final mix with the most resounding and clear blast of power ever to escape from a set of loudspeakers.
