Biography
There are two bands under the name Mind Riot.
The first is a rather strange metal band from Finland. The band started as thrash/death metal band in -90 but developed their style on each release. The last album, Inferno Go-Go, ended up mixing different styles of rock and metal in a way that confused some and was praised by others. The band was active from 1990 to 1998.
The band made a one concert comeback in 2007.
In 2015 the remastered version of Inferno Go-Go was released.
2017 Tuska Festival invited Mind Riot to perform at the festival. Mind Riot played Tuska with a slightly different lineup. They also released an EP called Come Undone in the same year.
In 2021 Mind Riot activated once again to release an EP titled Abyss.
Line-up:
Tuomo Saikkonen: vocals, guitars

The second is a band located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formed in 2005 by bassist and vocalist Steven Rose, they started off as a punk band but soon turned their sound to a grungier harder rock.
