Peace of Mind G
ermany is the mecca of the modern hardcore scene nowadays. Tons of new bands, labels & amazing feedback during the shows. One of the youngest bands that draw my attention lately was Peace Of Mind from east Germany. They just released a new 7” via Powertrip Records and they play shows like there’s no tomorrow. Keep an eye on them. Photos provided by the band.
haus. They will release a 12” LP this summer! So please do me a favour and check em’ out, they totally deserve it! :-) And I was playin’ bass guitar in a black metal band, but that´s history. So Peace Of Mind is my one and only project and I want to fuel it with power and strength. You’ve recently released your first 7” via Powertrip Records, one of the most hard-working hardcore labels in Europe nowadays. Give us some info about the 7” and your co-operation with Powertrip.
www.facebook.com/peaceofmindhardcore powertriprecords.bandcamp.com Hey hey! What’s all this fuss with Peace Of Mind?! Hehe! You are a pretty new band but you have already managed to gather a strong fanbase and that’s sick! When did you form? Did you play in any other bands before?
Yes, we decided to publish an EP first to get some attention and perhaps to get in touch with hardcore labels, and so the partnership with Powertrip Records began! I think Hannes, the founder of Powertrip Records, saw something like “potential” in us and began to promote us! At this point I want to thank him for everything! The “Hardcore Scene” and the whole music branch need more people like Hannes! He gave us the possibility to reach new listeners all over the world for our first 7” and spread our values through it! Apropos values, that´s the most important thing which we want to share through our music. So our 7” is not only about my own thoughts and feelings and the attempt to express them. Values like anti-fascism, lived solidarity and to fight against all political oppression, that´s also a mindset which connects us to Powertrip Records! Even if it´s hard to express and mediate such values, we’ll give our best to spread out our point of view!
Hey Apostolis and thanks for your interview request! Well, it all started last year. Peace Of Mind, that´s Bulma on drums, Patrick playin’ bass guitar, David playin’ the so called “Riff Monster”, hehe, and me, Louis, doin’ the vocals. We formed in the early 2k15. We’ve got the same taste in music and all knew each other for a long time before, so we decided to create our own music to share feelings and ideas through it. Actually three of us play in other bands at the moment! Patrick and David playin’ in a deathcore band and Bulma is “drummin’ around” in a punk band. The deathcore project tries to find a new name atm, and the punk band is called Noi-
