With a background ranging from thrash metal to death metal and even classical music, Second Brain’s founding members Agravain (vocals, guitar, programming) and Lala Gabarth (vocals, cello, synth) independently released their first full-length album, "Synthesis", in May 2014. Following positive feedback both in Italy and abroad, the then duo went on to recruit bassist Anagoor, guitarist Dagonus and live drummer Dominus. After a few rounds of gigs in Italy in 2016 and 2017, Second Brain entered the studio in 2018 to record their second album, titled "The Mind Awakes". On it, the Rome-based band build on the eclectic yet classically powerful approach of their first release to create a heavier and more intense style. "The Mind Awakes" is lyrically themed around the concept of ‘awakening’ from misperceptions and letting go of the shackles of superstition and dogmas. Recorded and mixed at Artesonika Studios in Italy, the album features artwork by Costin Chioreanu and will see the band resume live performances at the end of 2019.
