Cline's Mind was started back in 2004 by Tom Cline as a solo project. After the release of the first album Evil Within in 2005, the project was put on hold to pursue other music endeavors. Beginning in 2017, the release of Where The Sleepless Go EP was the rebirth of Cline's Mind. Björn Strid of Soilwork was featured on 3 songs on the EP along with Mike Lacey. Mike would then become the voice of Cline's Mind on the next 5 albums. Tom Cline has been playing metal for 36 years. Main influences are 80's thrash bands such as Exodus, Testament, Metallica, Slayer, etc. Other various artists such as Dio, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden are also big influences. The last 2 albums, Dead End Road and A Beautiful Chaos introduced more of a metalcore feel to a lot of the featured tracks. But with all albums, you can find many different styles of metal throughout to appeal to the masses. Notable guest musicians featured on previous albums are: Sean Long-lead guitars on One Nation Under Hell. Chris Clancy of Mutiny Within and Jamie Stewart of The Absence were featured on individual songs on the Souls of the Lost album. Eric Castiglia-Guest vocalist on the song Destiny from the album One Nation Under Hell.  

Going forward into 2021 and beyond, Cline's Mind will continue to deliver it's signature sound with crazy riffs, brutal drums beats and killer vocals. April of 2021 will be the 7th album release and the most brutal and intense installment yet. Three new additional musicians will be featured as well. Alex Fuhr on drums and Jobam Martins adding his technical neo-classical style guitar solos. Jay Beecher has been a guest bassist in the past few albums. He is now the full time bassist for the new album coming out in April 2021. Stay metal my friends!!
