Bandinfo: mind.in.a.box
The name, "mind.in.a.box" stands for the restriction of spirit. Locked between the dots, it describes the oppressive control of the ego through the smallest everyday obligations to the crippling, genuine feelings of loneliness. This name is a symbol for the invisible gap between the objectives of freedom and the sober, restrictive reality. mind.in.a.box's music serves as a valve in a claustrophobic world that crams the awareness in an ever-smaller box. In the ongoing narrative within the band's lyrics, the “Dreamweb” acts as a synonym for sedation and immobilization of society and the individual. From this background the group weaves their songs, between frightening fiction and a dark, oppressive reality.

The live sound is much more edgy and easier to listen as on the CDs, and the ingenious integration of analog instruments boasts an innovative creativity away from the genre average.
