Prosthesis of Mind don't want to fit into the pack, if you're into the technical side of things, then this band's right up your alley. They throw a lot of cool things in the mix, so you're never quite sure what to expect. From death growls to two-handed finger tapping, rapid fire solos, delayed guitar and atmospheric clean vocals. Their forte is long instrumental sections and dramatic build-ups to epic proportions.
Friday night at the Espy was lead singer Collin’s last show with the band, after having performed with them for over 2 years since its inception he has been forced to part ways because of unforeseen circumstances.
The band sound tight on record, but with the new drummer Dav it just adds that little something wasn't there before. As soon as their lead guitarist Matt played the first notes it seem almost had been put into a trance, all was silent and then.. boom it went into overdrive!!
The crowd that night weren't really getting into it as much as they could, besides a few enthusiastic friends that at the side, Prosthesis still played to the best of their ability. Besides the fact that the vocals were virtually inaudible part of the set, this was the best performance I’d seen by the band. With it being only the 3rd gig for the new drummer it seems like they just keep getting better and better, a highlight was the performance of a new song called Liquid State.
It was a battle of the bands, and my vote goes to Prosthesis of Mind. Most bands had a lot to say; but they said it best, if not for the problems with the vocals I’d have been sure they would blow the competition out of the water.
