Essence Of Mind

It is definitely not everyday that Norway bears a new electronic fruit. However, history has shown us that with bands like APOPTYGMA BERZERK, ICON OF COIL or yet COMBICHRIST, the Norwegian seal is a guarantee for skill and quality.
Created in the spring of 2006, Oslo's up-and-coming electro duo ESSENCE OF MIND will certainly maintain the excellence we have come to expect from Norwegian electronics!
