Twisted Mind
is an eclectic metal band influenced by a kaleidoscope of musicians
that have inspired guitarist Dan Saliman, an Israeli musician of
Yemenite and Moroccan-based heritage who grew up in a home where
oriental music was frequently played. He formed the band in 2017 and in
December, will have their debut album “From Slave To Prophet” ready to delight open-minded listeners around the world. The first single “Walked Through Hell”,
captures the true essence of the band who shot the video in one night.
They share their thoughts on the record and how they came up with the
concept name:
“This
EP is all about our timeline from where we started back then at the
beginning of the pandemic and through the war of getting rock and roll
less stigmatic. We strive to be the ones who will break the glass
ceiling of musical genres. We didn’t come from great money and wealth.
We are warriors, fighting hard and aiming to become something bigger,
something which will bring a “word”. And while we are on our way, we try
to inspire people to fight for their beliefs, unite for a cause, open
their minds to other points of view and create amazing things together
which will maybe make the world a better place.”
Every member of Twisted Mind
is a great believer in the power of music and its ability to bring
different worlds and traditions together. They hope and aspire that the
new mix of cultures and sounds in their music will break the invisible
wall and crush the stigmas between the genres and their rigid rules.
Overall, “From Slave To Prophet” is something, fresh, and different.
This
modern Israeli and self dubbed 'Happy Metal' band is recommended for
anyone looking for something intriguing, and also for fans of Metallica,
Muse, and Dhafer Youssef. The official video for “Walked Through Hell” is out now and the EP comes out on December 9, 2022.

About:
The AOR rock/metal group Twisted Mind was founded in 2017 by Dan
Saliman, an Israeli musician of a Yemenite & Moroccan-based
heritage. Dan grew up in a home where oriental music was a Major part of
his musical background
After
a long process of creating a musical concept, Dan was joined by the
other members, achieving this final line-up. The four joining members
helped mold the sound, bringing their own styles, influences, and
cultural heritage to Twisted Mind, thus creating a powerful combination
of music that fuses the power and aggression of heavy metal, throughout
the liberating energy of modern rock & roll.
And
all this while using ethnical Middle Eastern music – emerging from
their homeland and from the band members’ heritage and their own family
‘DNA’.Starting in San’aa –Yemen, through Istanbul – Turkey, passing
through the deserts of Libya and traveling the long roads to a garage in
Los Angeles.
