Clearly one of the most interesting new European outfits, ARROW MINDS’ musical evolution is surely taking the band to heights like never before, as they are developing their very own brand of genre expanding modern core, mixing heavy riffs with classic 80s polyphonic synths and blending calm LoFi-drums with sing-alongworthy rock choruses. The songs in the “Shiver And Divide” release cycle know no musical boundaries, and will bring metalheads, ravers, and punks to dance floors and mosh pits alike. And what better purpose to be there for music than bringing people together in a world that’s crises make us shiver and populist politics try to divide. “Everyone will easily spot my love for the Beastie Boys, Bring Me The Horizon, or Twenty One Pilots when listening to these new songs,” lead singer Jay acknowledges. “Letting those influences inspire me in the writing process regardless of all hardcore/punkconventions has been both a mind-opening experience and a determining factor for our overall sound.”
With their new releases, the Rostock-based quintet are picking up on the previous success of their last album “WORRIER” (2022, DEAD SERIOUS), produced by Christoph Wieczorek (ANNISOKAY), which recorded a number of top ratings by music critics and which’s songs became party starters in the band’s live set. For this new chapter, ARROW MINDS have decided to again collaborate with a number of high-profile b(r)ands, this time in the hip-hop, metal, and punk scene, ranging from well known German producer, Flo Nowak, to bands like Florida-based EVERGREEN TERRACE.
