Escape the Day

Mindscape (2007–2009)

Escape the Day started their journey in 2007, as Mindscape. When releasing their first EP, Mindscape, in 2008, they received immediate recognition over the internet. After the departure of the screamer Sebastian Jarfelt, the band looked for a new screamer, but never found anyone suitable for their music. In the process of looking for a screamer, they recruited a female vocalist, Maria Petersèn, to give the band two distinctive lead singers that we're able to carry the songs.

The line up changes. When spending time in the studio it was clear that some changes had to be made in order to reinvent the sound of the band. They came across the very young screamer Jonas Jenelin, who made a direct impact to the sound, with his style of screaming, giving the music what it needed and leading Mindscape into Escape the Day.

In 2011, Maria Petersèn left the band to pursue her dream, as a Musical Artist. Through a friend of the band, Angeline Stenbock came in and completely changed the script. With a voice that has its roots in rhythm and blues, soul and gospel, Angeline changed the sound of the band even more.

Niklas Jonsson on drums, left the band in 2011. Neil Grant, an experienced drummer from Scotland, was hired to replace Niklas. Neil came in with a very dynamic drumming style that he's developed for over 20 years. Neil immediately got accepted and came along very well with the rest of the band.

In 2011, after several lineup changes, Escape the Day decided to go on hiatus.

After one year of hiatus, Escape the Day returned in 2012, with new members and a new sound. They returned with two new singles, "Turn Back Time" and "As We Were Once", which were both recorded for the video game Rock Band 3.

Escape the Day released their first full album, Into Inception, in 2016. Before the release of their debut album, founding member Patrick Möhlenbrock decided to leave the band.

On 31 December 2017, the band announced, through their Facebook page, that new music was on its way. On 26 February 2018, new single "Breaking The Tide" was released. In August, an acoustic rendition of their latest single was released, which was followed with the release of the Acoustic Sessions EP, including the acoustic version of "Breaking The Tide" and "Undone".
