Experimental, melodic, ‘thinking’ metal, with thought provoking lyrics, - melodic vocal style. Music that would capture people’s attention, imagination & open minds. “The hybrid mutant soundscape created by thE.thinkinG.principlE is instantly recognisable, has groove walking hand in hand with disjointed rhythms, chaos alongside melodic harmonies, confusion leading to control also depth with thought provoking lyrical reflections on human life and emotion.” After recording “Dangerous Thoughts” (Home recorded)-2 track Demo thE.thinkinG.principlE gained positive feedback from the internet / fanzines etc- thE.thinkinG.principlE decided to studio record 3 new songs for release to do the songs justice quality wise.
