NUCLEAR BLAST has issued the following:

“Mnemesis”, the latest album by Danish modern metallers MNEMIC, is out since the 8th of June 2012. Because of many requests regarding background information on the amazing cover artwork, guitarist Mircea Gabriel Eftemie has now uploaded a video to YouTube in which he gives us all the details.

Mircea states: “The artist’s name is Metastazis (http://www.metastazis.com) and he has worked with ULVER, BLUT AUS NORD and MORBID ANGEL but also with more modern bands like THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER in the past. He’s mostly known for working mainly with Black Metal artists, usually designing more occult imagery.
Since I am designer myself, I have been asked why I didn’t do the cover, like I did in the past, so I’ve decided to offer you a video statement in order to grant insight in how it all came together. In my opinion it’s the best artwork we’ve ever had. Usually we stress till the very last minute, but this time it was more of a collective process. Since both me and our bass player Simone are graphic designers, we functioned more as art directors.”

“Mnemesis”, the fifth studio album by Danish modern metallers MNEMIC, was released in Europe on the 8th of June and guitarist/songwriter Mircea Gabriel Eftemie’s mind is all over the place.

Bored with the standard fare of “track-by-track” commentaries, the crazy Dane decided to have a little fun and headed down to his friend ex-Hatesphere/Raunchy drummer Morten Toft Hansen’s house for some dinner and a game of word association. Eftemie read him the Mnemesis track names, recorded Morten’s responses, and then did a word association on his word association. The results are below (Eftemie’s responses in bold).

Mnemesis Track 01, “Transcend”= Meditation = “StegtFlæsk med persille sovs.” I have no idea what that’s called in English, but it’s a great Viking dish.

Mnemesis Track 02, “Valves” = Heart Surgery = Keep working out with metal music in your ears and stop eating junk food.

Mnemesis Track 03, “Junkies On The Storm” = Face-Eating Drug Addicts = Never judge.

Mnemesis Track 04, “I’ve Been You” = Peter Frampton’s “I’m In You” (Live) = Great haircut.

Mnemesis Track 05, “Pattern Platform” = The International Space Station = Mass data acquisition.

Mnemesis Track 06, “Mnemesis” = Public Enemy (the band) = Great band and the true representation of rap with political twists that blows every R&B artist out of the water.

Mnemesis Track 07, “There’s No Tomorrow” = Atomic Bombs = Too complicated and obsolete warfare; imagine what you can do with viruses these days.

Mnemesis Track 08, “Haven At The End Of The World” = Galileo Galilei = Pizza in the sky.

Mnemesis Track 09, “Ocean Of Void” = The Mariana Trench = Jules Vernes goldmine.

Mnemesis Track 10, “Blue Desert In A Black Hole” = Stephen Hawking = He was portrayed in The Simpsons and has his cartoon toy-figure in his office.

Danish modern metallers MNEMIC have recently finished their recording marathon in the Antfarm studios in Aabyhøj, Denmark and can now share some red-hot news on their upcoming 5th studio record with you! Guitarist Mircea issues the following statement:

“We can say that the new record is done, completed and our mission is finally accomplished. Since the disruption and chaos within the band last year, and the acquirement of new members, I never thought we would make it this far. Today everything converged and we ascended from the depths of turmoil, catharsis and hard work everyone has put into this new record, which is entitled “Mnemesis”. Yes, again we chose something no one can pronounce, just like our band mname.
For the ones that are curious about our new opus, I can say it’s more melodic than what we’ve done in the past, but at the same time more energetic and not so technical. We tried to incorporate the traditional Mnemic-esque sound and universe into the compositions, as good as we could. At the same time, we tried to move forward, like everything else in life. All in all it’s more of an atmospheric and melodic record, at least for me. In any case, hope you will enjoy it just as much as I do, and if not, no biggie, we are grateful that you at least took the time to read these lines.
See you somewhere out there, we’re coming for you cunts – and that’s a promise!”
