Mnemic
Much like watching television, riding as a passenger is a largely passive experience which breeds a shared state of quiet inactivity. Every so often, a jolting experience to awaken the senses comes along to remind us that where we come from is gone, where we thought we were going was never there, and where we currently find ourselves is no good unless we can get AWAY from it. Aspiring etymologists are familiar with the Greek word “mnemonic,” meaning “the art of developing memory.” But for one particular group of Danish musicians named MNEMIC who are eager to carve out their own musical niche, their name can simply be taken as “the art of developing.” With humble origins as a 3-piece in1998, these Danes later added new members and recorded two demos.

Working at Antfarm Studios (Hatesphere, Heaven Shall Burn, Raunchy) in their native Denmark under the careful ears of producer Tue Madsen (Rob Halford, Kataklysm, The Haunted), the album title became a direct reference to the easy yet lifeless, repetitive way of living people blindly accept in exchange for the effort required in exercising their free will. Mechanical Spin Phenomena critiqued the evil, automated circle of life, which is the consequence of “civilized” of human existence. A performance at the Danish Music Awards marked the beginning of many exciting achievements for MNEMIC. They had the honor of opening Denmark's f
