EP review: Collapse Of Mind - Breaker, Burner, Killer

Meet Collapse Of Mind. They describe themselves as “Belgian modern melodic hardcore” and are ready to blow your mind at one of their shows. Just one year after Collapse Of Mind was founded, they proudly presented their debut EP Burner, Breaker, Killer. The release-shows are on, so we suggest you first fill your car with people and petrol and then move your asses to one of their shows.

Opener Lies To Impress starts off with a calm intro and soft sweeping vocals. The drums join in and tension is being built up until it gets to the point where you realize that Collapse Of Mind’s sound could easily remind you of band such as August Burns Red or A Day To Remember. Think of dramatic lyrical sceneries and hopes based on rhythms which are united in this EP.

Breaker, Burner, Killer consists of six songs. One of those is actually an acoustic version - which happens to be my favourite - of Breaker, the second song. Harmonicas assisting the guitar show that the band is not only breaking skulls with the harshness of their songs, but also has some hidden talents to reveal to fans and haters.

For a first EP the sound is very refined and sophisticated. Everything is perfectly measured and it is clear that a lot of effort has been put into this. The story of Collapse Of Mind has just started and we are curious how this will develop in the future.
