Description

Encapsulation is the first album from Dietrick Hardwick’s prog metal band, Mindcage. It’s a self-released disc with great musicianship, quality songwriting and successful arrangements. The style of prog metal Mindcage plays might greatly impress fans of old school prog metal ala Rage For Order / Mindcrime era Queensryche, Awaken the Guardian / No Exit era Fates Warning, and even some Crimson Glory. The album, being a 2000 release, does have a modern approach that will appeal to progheads that are more drawn to 90’s prog bands.
