Bio / info
Mastermind was founded in 1986 when guitarist Bill Berends and his brother, drummer Rich Berends, met bassist Phil Antolino. As a power trio, they were very much in the Emerson, Lake & Palmer style, with fast and flashy playing inside anthems of considerable grandeur — except with guitar and guitar-synthesizer leads instead of keyboards. In 1997, famed Swedish metal keyboardist Jens Johansson (ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, Stratovarius) was invited to record with the band. The second album featuring Johansson, Angels of the Apocalypse brought in mezzo-soprano vocalist Lisa Bouchelle in 1999. Subsequent recordings feature Tracy McShane as lead vocalist
