Mnemic /ˈniːmᵻk/ is a Danish metal band, formed in Aalborg, Denmark in 1998. Their music is a fusion of industrial metal, thrash metal, progressive metal and nu metal, a style the band themselves have described as "Future Fusion Metal."
The band have charted in the Top 100 in Denmark with The Audio Injected Soul and were the first Danish metal band to open the Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival in 2004, one of Europe's biggest mainstream festivals with 80,000 spectators. They have worked with Down and The Fugees producer Warren Riker on the Passenger album, collaborated with Roy Z (Judas Priest and Bruce Dickinson producer) and are featured on the soundtracks of Alone in the Dark, Echo (with Kim Bodnia) and Nordkraft movies.
They have released five full-length albums, and have toured with bands such as Metallica, Deftones, Machine Head, Meshuggah, Arch Enemy, All That Remains, Fear Factory, The Haunted, Soilwork and God Forbid.
Mnemic (an acronym for 'Mainly Neurotic Energy Modifying Instant Creation') was formed in the town of Aalborg, Denmark in 1998, by vocalist Mark Bai, ex-Mercenary guitarist Mircea Gabriel Eftemie, guitarist Rune Stigart, bassist Mikkel Larsen and ex-Invocator session drummer Brian Rasmussen. Some times later, Bai left the band to pursue other interests and was replaced by Michael Bogballe. The band were signed to Nuclear Blast Records, and produced their first album Mechanical Spin Phenomena in 2002 with producer Tue Madsen. After the recording of the album, Larsen was replaced by ex-Grope bassist Tomas "Obeast" Koefod.
I made you and your hate to socialize in a matter that suits me fine
So while I breathe in you punched my teeth in
I tried to explain it but you just
You just don't see
I, I see right through you
So you do things, mainly bad things
Is it to satisfy your own neurotic needs?
I got this feeling, now I'm just dreaming
But just make sure I'm awake when you punish me
Now come follow me, walk to that place where we both see
What happened to you?
Why didn't you see if it's all true?
Confide in me
I was blind but now I, I see right through all that you do
But though I see you I know you're not here with me
And still I try to explain to you
How your presence is affecting my state of mind
Oh suck me in, inside myself
I want to fucking taste myself
It drags me down, your dismal past
And all you want is to make that last
Oh suck me in, inside myself
I want to fucking taste myself
It drags me down, your dismal past
And all you want is to make that last
Oh suck me in, inside myself
I want to fucking taste myself
It drags me down, your dismal past
And all you want is to make that last
[Incomprehensible]
Don't want this, it's true what they say
Ignorance is bliss, find another way
In my mind it's all good now
Don't do things that's abnormal
They'll take me and put me away
Listen to me when I tell you I'm not insane
I see right through you
