MINDSNARE

Mindsnare were an Australian hardcore band from Melbourne, Victoria. Formed in 1993 under the name Mad Circle, their music was a blend of traditional "old school" hardcore punk and crossover metal, and as such had seen them play alongside metal bands like Kreator and Ringworm, as well as more straightforward hardcore acts like Agnostic Front, Sick of it All and Australia's Toe To Toe. Mindsnare have been described as "one of the most influential bands of the past decade " by Missing Link Records. Their potent mix of hardcore-punk urgency and destructive, metallic thrash has made them one of the most often imitated but never replicated bands in Australian hardcore. The band recorded many albums and EP's.
