Inner Wound Recordings Inks Deal With Universal Mind Project

Universal Mind Project (a/k/a UMP) - a collaborative project between musicians from all around the globe founded by composer/guitarist Michael Alexander - signed on with Inner Wound Recordings for the long in waiting debut release "The Jaguar Priest." The album is set to drop on Europe and North America on April 29th.

Universal Mind Project is:

Elina Laivera - Vocals
Henrik Båth (Darkwater) - Vocals
Michael Alexander - Guitars, Growls
Alex Landenburg (Luca Turilli’s Rhapsody/21Octayne) - Drums

In a mix of perfectly executed modern progressive/power metal combined with the unique diversity of male and female vocals that stylistically spread from lyrical and fragile to soothing and powerful, as well as the use of growl vocals at parts of the record, the debut album "The Jaguar Priest" encloses a most impressive league of artistic creation.

"The Jaguar Priest" also includes a myriad of vocal guest performances from Nils K Rue (Pagan’s Mind), Mark Jansen (Epica, Mayan), Charlie Dominici (ex-Dream Theater) and Diego Valdez (Helker/Electo_nomicon) -, each of whom add their own distinctive style to the songs.

More details on the album will be announced during the coming weeks.
