The Sickness and the Theory

by Marching Mind

supported by

Klingel0905 Interesting and unique sound without any "down-phases" in all 70 minutes. Liked the piano a lot. Favorite track: Reactivation.

JLAbad A surprising album with an interesting fusion of styles: grunge, metal, progressive... For me, the best album than I have heard this year 2012. Favorite track: Reactivation.

about

Marching Mind is a completely new musical experience than you’re likely to have heard before. They combine elements from a vast range of influences such as metal, classical, progressive rock and even grunge music…yet seem to avoid sounding derivative of any one genre. In the early days, the band jokingly referred to themselves as “grog” or “grunge-prog” when asked to describe their sound. Somehow this label seemed to stick over the years and became the best way to describe this enigmatic band. Known for their energetic live show and complex yet melodic arrangements, Marching Mind has created a signature sound that is nearly impossible to emulate.

The band’s current lineup came together in Vancouver, BC in 2008 with members hailing from all across Canada. After releasing their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2009 and subsequent 2010 cross-country tour, Marching Mind was signed by Fivebyfive Records and headed back to the studio in fall of 2011 to record their 70 minute follow up album “The Sickness and the Theory”.

I love the whole album, every track somehow leads to the next, making it a wonderful unit, worth listening from beginning to end and then again. Actually, I can't make up my mind whether 'Hollow' or 'Misguided' is my favourite track as I love them both! And all the rest... serensilverwheel

Applause Of A Distant Crowd

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs. gebs

A Fair Dream Gone Mad - (Remastered 2019)
by In the Silence

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Sickness and the Theory”

In The Silence is pretty much guitar oriented and Josh is a great guitarist. The songs are in a dark gloomy mood, especially the opener "Ever Closer" - to me the best song on the whole album - is very atmospheric and progressively elabaroted. Progmetalhero
