Joakem - Multi-influenced progressive rock/metal hailing from Cyprus - Est. 2018

Mind Matter

I didn’t want my debut album to evolve around a certain concept or subject. I just wanted to express myself through lyrics that portrayed my way of thinking, my beliefs and my ideas. I felt that these ideas should be visually represented as organically as possible e.g. wood, stone, leaves and that they should become merged with me, as they are indeed, a part of me. Musically the album is a blend of complex melodies and time signatures, heavy synth sounds, aggressive guitars, intricate drum patterns and a blend of different vocal techniques.
