MINDROT CONCERT FLYERS
Hollywood and Santa Ana, California: 1993 and 1994. A pair of flyers promoting performances by the extreme metal band Mindrot. The earlier of the two is for a "live in studio" show at J.B. Audio Production in Santa Ana, California on July 24, 1993. The second is for a show on January 15, 1994 at the Hollywood Auditorium with Entity, Phobia, and Anubis.
Mindrot was formed in 1989 by Adrian Leroux and Matt Fisher in Westminster, California. The band released three demos, an EP, and two full-length albums before disbanding in 1998.
"Unless your band was busy co-opting the rebellious teen male hip-hop demographic for the purpose of propagating noxious, formulaic nu-metal, 1990s America was a tough, tough place for heavy metal bands to thrive and survive in. With very few exceptions (Pantera, System of a Down), most of the groups that tried doing something original or unique with the genre were shut out of the charts and confined to the deepest underground - including Orange County, CA-based Mindrot. Had they been as prolific or persistent (or as good, let's be frank) as future post-metal godfathers Neurosis, with whom they shared many sonic traits, Mindrot too may have weathered that horrible decade to earn their just deserts in the new millennium. But, alas, they cracked too soon, leaving only two intriguing but imperfect full-length albums to document their largely unheralded passage and unfulfilled promise" (Eduardo Rivadavia, AllMusic).
