MENTALIST – Earthbreaker (2025) *HQ*

Hardly any other new band has been able to stir up as much dust in the power metal scene in recent years with their first three albums as the Saarbrücken and Stockholm-based formation MENTALIST.
Their upcoming fourth album on Pride & Joy Music, entitled ”Earthbreaker”, is a little heavier than its predecessors, still melodic-catchy. Both guitarists Kai Stringer and Peter Moog embellish the compositions in an enchanting way with their virtuoso guitar playing, while the intensity of the hooklines and the exceptional vocals of Rob Lundgren give you goose bumps. Thomen‘s drumming magnetizes with an animalistic impulse. With Oliver Palotai (Kamelot) and Mike LePond (Symphony X), MENTALIST once again received active support on keyboards and bass.
”Earthbreaker” is perhaps remarkable for what it does NOT include. It is does NOT have a gimmick, superhero costumes, novelty cover tunes, electronics, or operatics or goofy lyrics about dinosaurs, ninjas, pirates or Vikings. MENTALIST play straight up, full-on power / melodic metal. It’s almost refreshing these days!
