Johan Jello’s first release on Shyfted Minds

Johan Jello’s first release, Augmentation EP, is now available on Shyfted Minds Records! This two track EP features just the kind of atypical hard core sound that Shyfted Minds strives to make available against the expected mainstyle, dark core, and cross breed.

In other news, Red Ankh‘s new double album with an orientation of darkness and symphonic composition is approaching completion, taking inspiration from acts like Dimmu Borgir, old Tristania and Sirenia, but still with moments of the typical uplifting Red Ankh sound.  Predaking is working on a new four track release under his Divebomb alias, and K.H.D. is of course pumping out new tracks to be connected in a release sooner or later.

How awful how artists must live the regular lives of real people!  Activity here at Shyfted Minds has been slow to stagnant lately, as many of us have been putting more time in to our other responsibilities.  As owner, Shyft takes the blame, as he has been rather… troubled, let us say.  On top of that, the need for a new job and possibly switching academic paths has been taking priority over music, but we have no intention of quitting!  Things are slowly working toward stability once again, and you can expect new great things from this organization beyond that point.

K.H.D. and Dustrict release split EP

We have all been rather busy with our regular lives here at Shyfted Minds lately, but K.H.D. and Dustrict managed to pump out this two original, two remix track EP for your listening pleasure! Click the image above to stream and acquire it in your choice of digital audio format.

Shyft is struggling to find the time and patience to tweak the mix of and master Predaking’s new album. I’d wager this week or the first week of next month will mark it’s completion, but time keeps slipping away lately. There is still Johan Jello’s new EP to master and release as well!

In other news, physical merchandise such as shirts, stickers, and select physical CDs should be available soon through the Shyfted Minds website. If you’re clever and determined, you should already be able to find them on your own!

Hard Core Compilation Album Scheduled to Release Soon

The submission phase of the untitled SHM060 hard core compilation album is now closed.  Twenty two tracks were approved for the album, but sadly there is not enough room for all of them.  After the best tracks are selected from the approved batch of tracks for each of the fourteen artist that are involved, we should have an official track list.  We are waiting on one premaster, and if this is not received by Wednesday of this week, the track list will exclude it and be done.  Right now I have received premasters from [my self], K.H.D. (of course), Imil, Predaking, Johan Jello, Aardwolf, O.P.B., Phydomir, Mosphire, Tilduh, Scorpyd (A.K.A. Inflicted Rage, Pyroblast), 1nsane, and Crippled.  Hopefully mastering and cover art will be finished this week, and we can get this thing rolled out!
