Abstracted Mind

Break Down Your Fears

Independent Release

2026

 

Formed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2020 by singer Juli Hope and guitarist Yamil Ladner, Abstracted Mind is a Symphonic Metal band blending powerful orchestral arrangements with modern and progressive metal.

 

Buckle in kiddos. This album is fantastic. A debut album hitting this hard is so rare but it’s downright amazing. It’s definitely symphonic, but if you’re into mostly underground movies, you’re gonna understand when I say, this whole album would sounds like something straight from Repo! The Genetic Opera. Big sounds, operatic vocals on par with Sarah Brightman, beautifully composed heaviness. It’s amazing. Hands down amazing.

 

Every single song on this album tells this story of fighting and facing your fears. To rise up against them and be a phoenix reborn. You can tell they absolutely spent time planning out the album layout and musical composition because it literally is there for you to hear.

 

I’m not picking a standout track because that’s insulting. This is a standout album. Gah, I could lament on and on, but instead I’m pleading with you. Go listen.
