A band from Denmark that recieves much-unwarranted praise for their style of metalcore. They utilize downtuned stop-start chug riffing and odd polyrhythms remeniscent of Meshuggah as well as harsh verse/clean chorus vocals in the vein of...well, just about every modern metalcore band on Earth. There's some groove and synthesizers in there too, which people seem to confuse for making a band "industrial metal". Every element of their sound has been done before (and better) by countless other bands. One can assume Mnemic owes their fanbase to Metallica (or possibly their publicists, since Metallica could give two fucks about real metal these days), who claim them to be the group's collective favorite band. The hordes of misguided Metallica fans then check out Mnemic and hail them as some sort of unique new thing, despite the fact that Meshuggah, Fear Factory, and even Soilwork were doing everything this band does while the members were probably shitting in diapers.
