Bangin’ Nu Metal/Hard Rock Banger Turning Back By Illegal Mind

Will Lisil 1 May 2023

For this article, we want to introduce an up-and-coming artist that we truly enjoy — ILLEGAL MIND. They’re a Nu Metal/Hard Rock band from Israel doing everything in their power to create music that matters.

ILLEGAL MIND is a rap rock band from Ashqelon, Israel. They recently released their single Turning Back, which is a banger and an anthem. If you’re looking for something to get your blood pumping, this is it.

Their DIY attitude and overcoming of obstacles have allowed them to create a unique sound that combines 90s nu-metal with elements of post-hardcore.

This song is about being true to yourself in the face of societal pressures. With their upcoming EP “From The Ashes,” they are excited to showcase their dedication to storytelling and their ability to create powerful, stand-out tracks.

When I listen to this song, I feel like I’m back in high school again, driving around town with my best friends blasting our favorite songs. The lyrics are nostalgic and powerful, but they don’t leave you feeling sad or lost; instead, they inspire you to push forward and accomplish everything you ever dreamed of doing.

The song has got a classic sound that will make you feel nostalgic for nu-metal bands like Korn and System of a Down. If you’re into post-hardcore, this is also right up your alley because of its really heavy riffing and the singer’s gravelly voice.

I love this song because it’s heavy enough for me to rock out without losing my mind while still being melodic enough to remind me of simpler days when all we had was each other and our dreams.

It’s not often that you find music this good from an independent artist—so check it out! Visit their website and follow ILLEGAL MIND on Spotify.
