Cortex, by Mindwork

Cortex

by Mindwork

supported by

progdolphin A subtly technical form of progressive death metal that leans on melancholy to let its dark melodies sing—man I wish I had heard of this act sooner. If one can imagine that Control Denied had continued its existence and found a way into the moody prog of an act like The Contortionist, that might come close. But really, just listen to Mindwork!! Keep an eye out, the best has yet to come. Favorite track: Last Lie Told.

TheEliteExtremophile It’s solid, proggy death metal that ticks all the right boxes in balancing Opeth-y melodicism with the brutality of acts like Hoth.

Dmitry Nevozhay Prog tech death which is very close to old Cynic, with some clean vocal prog parts

about

On Cortex, Mindwork dives deep into human psyche to describe the feeling of depersonalization of your own body (Depersonalized), unveils the darkest side of a desperate, psychopatic citizen, who decides to deal with the hated politician in his own way (Last Lie Told) and destructive influence that toxic people around you have on your personality (Grinding the Edges).
