MENTALIST,Thomen Stauch

Description:

This is the third and Japanese debut album by Mentalist, a mixed German/Swedish melodic power metal band led by former Blind Guardian/Savage Circus member Tommen Stasch (dr.) and Starchild member Kai Stringer (g.). Mentalist was formed in 2018 by the above-mentioned Tommen and Kai, and has grown considerably with each successive album, with "Freedom of Speech" in 2020 and "A Journey Into the Unknown" in 2021, and this album, "Empire's Falling," is the third album by the German/Swedish mixed melodic power metal band. The new album, "Empire's Falling," combines the transparency of German metal and Scandinavian melodic rock, with catchy songs and a sense of speed that makes it a perfect power metal album. The band's cover video of Pegasus Illusion, the OP theme of the Japanese anime "Saint Seiya," has over 4.5 million views, and their other YouTube videos, including covers of Angra and Hibria metal songs, have attracted a lot of attention, with Rob Lundgren boasting over 200,000 followers. His high tone vocals are also notable.
