MENTALIST is a Melodic Metal band from Saarbrücken, Germany that was founded in 2018. Influences come from the genre’s greats such as Iron Maiden, Helloween and Blind Guardian that shine through but under the band’s own identity. The group consists of Peter Moog (guitars), Thomen Stauch (drums, ex Blind Guardian), Kai Stringer (guitars, ex Starchild) and Swedish singer extraordinaire Rob Lundgren on vocals.
After the highly successful 2020 debut Freedom Of Speech, the group now returns with its sophomore release A Journey Into The Unknown. Just like the predecessor, this new opus puts a strong focus onto huge guitar melodies and vocal lines amongst others with Oliver Palotai (Kamelot; keyboards on all tracks) and Mike LePond (Symphony X, bass on all tracks) together with singer Henning Basse (Metalium, Firewind; backing vocals on most tracks, plus a duet on Live Forever) who all appear as guests on this record.
Mentalist‘s drummer Thomen Stauch hosts this week’s show.
Tune in at 15:00 and 21:00 CET/ 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. EST this Friday to hear the show!
