Their perfect balance of intricate electronic arrangements, grinding textures, and explosive beats creates an industrial-EBM sound that impassions fans around the world. Where a lot of bands stick to formulas, Mindless Faith push the envelope with their diversity, giving each song its own pace and mood while incorporating elements from different genres. As Side-Line Magazine noted, "the music has been worked out with intelligence, creativity, and knowledge."

With the release of MANIFEST DESTINY, Mindless Faith delivered one of the strongest and most noteworthy albums of 2000. The CD is a conceptual, thematic soundscape that confronts the social dynamics leading a nation to rampant expansion and imminent collapse. Praised as "...an all out war on your body, mind, and soul" and "worth 10 orgasms," MANIFEST DESTINY received rave reviews in countless online and printed publications, including a 5 out of 5 in Outburn Magazine. Legends Magazine called it, "An infectious, riveting ensemble... a truly insurmountable sound experience!" And Starvox.net exclaimed, "There is no shortage of excellent production quality and sound nor creative style and talent to be found anywhere on this album. I could not possibly begin to sing enough praise to do Mindless Faith the justice they deserve."

Mindless Faith brings this musical excellence to the stage with intense, dynamic live performances - touring the East coast and performing with Spahn Ranch, Pigface, Switchblade Symphony, Flesh Field, Genitorturers, Godhead, Hanzel und Gretyl, Acumen Nation, Bile and many others. Against a backdrop of synchronous, manipulated video and pulsating lights, Mindless Faith hammers out beats on electronic percussion and metal objects, propelling crowds into a frenzy. Infectious keyboards and guitars meld with powerful vocals to complete the aural assault that continuously expands their devoted fanbase.

They appear on over 16 national/international compilations such as The Unquiet Grave V. 3 (Cleopatra), "Nod's Tacklebox o' Fun" (Reconstriction), and in Europe on "Elektrauma V. 5" (Triton Records), New Forms of EBM V. 1 (Bloodline), Cryonica Tanz V.1 (Cryonica). Their music has also been featured in the movie Sex, Death and Eyeliner(from the producers of "The Prophecy" and "Drive"), several independent films, a CD-ROM for Canon, and MTV's "Road Rules" and "Road Rules/Real World Challenge."

Mindless Faith's third full length CD titled "Momentum" was released in 2004 to North America on Metropolis Records and in Europe on Dependent Records, where it debuted at #7 on the DAC - German Alternative Charts! The CD received rave reviews and the band was featured in all the top European magazines covering these styles of music, including being Sonic Seducer's "Band of the Month!"

"Momentum" has also been a favorite in clubs through North America, Europe, and beyond. While the new CD focuses more on the dance floor, it still retains the diversity and songwriting that separate the band from the rest.

Mindless Faith remixed two Nine Inch Nails songs: 'Only' and 'The Hand That Feeds' from the album 'With Teeth'. They won a number of radio remix contests in doing so, and met Trent Reznor as part of the prize, who said their remix was 'better than some I've paid for'.

2007 saw the release of their latest album 'Medication For The Misinformed', which has garnered much critical praise.

The Silence
Mindless Faith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said everything is O.K.
Yet everything has me so afraid
Living is a bent memory
Fading in time increasingly
As we drink and drive and die
And kiss and cry, and dance and play
And rust away
Tears stay on the inside - alone

Millions so alone

Tears stay, on the inside - alone
Tears can't be heard anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Mindless Faith's song, The Silence, speak of a bleak outlook towards life. The song paints a picture of a world where people pretend that everything is alright, even though they are truly scared and unsure of what’s going on around them. Living in a society where memories are distorted and forgotten is the norm, with time making it increasingly more difficult to remember things as they truly were. The song touches upon the self-destructive tendencies that people indulge in despite the inherent fear that they may feel. The emotions described range from sadness and sorrow to joy and excitement which all fade away eventually, leaving only tears on the inside. People go through life in solace and while the world is filled with millions of people, the sense of loneliness and isolation is still ever-present.

Line by Line Meaning

You said everything is O.K.
You claimed that everything is alright.

Yet everything has me so afraid
Despite that assurance, I'm still deeply scared.

Living is a bent memory
Existing feels like a twisted form of recollection.

Fading in time increasingly
Day by day, memories of life grow dimmer.

As we drink and drive and die
We indulge in destructive behavior that leads to death.

And kiss and cry, and dance and play
We also partake in pleasures and emotions like love, sadness, dance, and fun.

And rust away
Yet we are still constantly aging and deteriorating.

Tears stay on the inside - alone
Our sadness remains bottled up within us, unseen by others.

Millions so alone
There are vast numbers of people who are isolated and lonely.

Tears stay, on the inside - alone
Our tears continue to be contained within us, unheard.

Tears can't be heard anymore
Our suffering has become so pervasive that even our tears go unnoticed.
