Founded in 2015, Christensen began Emperor of Mind by drawing influences from across the entire length of the metallic spectrum. Gathering atmosphere similar to that of The Ocean and The Contortionist and blending it with segments of scathing aggression and intensity a la The Dillinger Escape Plan and topping it all off with catchiness that makes Periphery sound flat, Christensen quickly developed a sound that is uniquely her own. This manifests itself in the band’s debut single, “Between Inertia,” off of the upcoming full-length album, Beyond the Exosphere. Built around a theme of space, Beyond the Exosphere sees Emperor of Mind not just using a concept, but truly becoming it—employing cavernous atmosphere and contrasting it with explosive, vibrant climaxes that will leave the listener breathless, as if in a vacuum.
In the fall of 2016, Emperor Of Mind started recording their second album, Resistance. The 13 song album is set to be released in the early Spring and will showcase a diversity of sounds and emotions ranging from blasts of aggression and funk to delicate cleans. Resistance will be a much more experimental and diverse album than the conceptual debut. Read more on Last.fm.
