Wilkes-Barre, PA

Forming in late 2023, the Northeastern Pennsylvania quartet Scorched Mind — Michael Tyahur [guitar / Mind Power] and James Slattery [drums / Sleepsculptor, Toothless] along with Jake Moyer [vocals / Sleepsculptor] and Jim Conlon [bass / Machine Arms]— set out to form a chaotic blend of sludgy, unrelenting beatdown grooves, blasting death metal carnage, and metallic HM2 driven hardcore riffs. Scorched Mind’s sound is somewhat unique, but draws heavy inspiration from bands like: Nails, Full Of Hell, Leeched, Sanguisuggabog and Kruelty. The end result is barrage of sonic punishment and crushing violence. The band released their debut self titled EP in May of 2024, shortly after entering Novro Studios in Swoyersville, Pennsylvania with Eric Novroski [engineer/producer]. Once stationed there, the band honed in on their sound as individuals, but also as a first-time collective, creating an absolutely devastating experience for the listener to fully immerse themselves in.
