Mind Prisoner rise once again from the deepest corners of the abyss with the promise of a new release, Less Faith. Its lead track, Years Gone, magnifies the band’s signature melancholy through sheer brutality, pushing further into the shadowed depths of their lyricism, the raw expressiveness of their vocals, and delivering a work which is utterly harrowing on every level.
Years Gone stays true to the darkness the band has long embraced, but this time it sharpens the doom-death elements of their sound, dragging them further into the foreground with devastating weight.
It’s an exercise in crushing melancholy and extreme metal grandeur, carved through the tunnels of the underground, and a reminder of a formidable force that still lurks in obscurity.
