Disarmonia Mundi was founded by Ettore Rigotti in 2000. The band would initially go through several line-up changes but would successfully record their debut album, Nebularium. The album was completely self-produced by Ettore in his home studio. The response to the album allowed the band to sign a contract with Self for Italian distribution and with Cd-Maximum for distribution in Russia. Unfortunately line-up problems would prevent live performances to support Nebularium and in turn would slow down the process of recording the forthcoming album.
[edit] New Members And Label
The only survivors from the former line-up, Ettore Rigotti and Mirco Andreis, would be joined by newcomer Claudio Ravinale. They began working on new material alongside ex-singer, Benny Bianco Chinto. Chinto would write new lyrics and compose vocal lines for the album. The resulting promo would help Disarmonia Mundi attain a recording contract with Scarlet Records.
Still in search of a front man, Ettore would get in contact with Soilwork front man Bjorn "Speed" Strid. What started out as a “guest appearance” on the forthcoming album, Fragments Of D-generation [1] would turn into something greater. The release of Fragments of D-Generation would generate several good reviews [2] [3] [4]. The band would follow up the success by shooting a video at Cinecittà's studio for the song "Red Clouds". While Strid would go back to working on Soilwork's Stabbing the Drama, Ettore and Claudio would begin composing the music and lyrics for their third album.
[edit] Mindtricks
While Ettore and Claudio worked on the new record, Mirco would decide to leave the band to concentrate on other interests. The remaining members would track most of the new album in three weeks. The band remained a duo for the recording of MindTricks while recording with Strid again on vocals [5], splitting them equally between Claudio with Ettore contributing clean vocals as well. During the recording, ex-member Mirco would shoot a video for the band's single Celestial Furnace.
