History & Biography
The German band harboured influences from Brainstorm, Vicious Rumors and Iron Maiden. The trio was built around ex-Stormwitch guitarist Robert Balci in January of 1998. Defender was issued independently and featured singer Paduch. Following that singer's departure, the band recruited the experienced Allert in September of 2001, signed to Shark and issued its new album in the winter of 2004.

The band was also looking for a drummer as of 2004. Instead, the band officially split up in 2008.

The band's name was presumably inspired by the Judas Priest album of the similar name. Mindcrime was a Queensrÿche cover band. Balci drummed in Death In Action. D'Amico joined Eternal Darkness for a while in 2000.
