Mindthreat were formed in Athens, March 2011 by Jim Kakes, Aleister and John Tsoutsias. Immediately after formation they recorded their first three songs which self released as an EP under the name "Amidst Your Bloodlines" in late 2011.
In 2012, they entered the studio to record their second EP "Where The Lights Are Dead" which was self released in June 2013.
In late 2014, the band started changing their music style and direction, experimenting a lot more with the contrast of melodic and aggressive sound.
That pushed them to record another EP before releasing a full length album."People Are Tragedy" was released in June 2015 and the B-Side "White Colors" was released as a single the following year. (In early 2014, it was reported by members of the band that a full length album was completely composed but was later tossed for reasons remaining unknown.)
In 2016, Mindthreat entered the studio to record their debut full length album "Black Dreams" which showcased a complete change to their sound. The album was released in May 2018 via Bleeding Nose Records.
