The track arrives ahead of their forthcoming album, “Ritual”, set for release on February 20th, 2026 via Time To Kill Records. “Mind Crusher” showcases the band at their most aggressive and focused, blending crushing riffs, dense sludge grooves, and dynamic shifts with the raw intensity that has defined SOUL OF ANUBIS over more than a decade.

It is the story of an old man who realized the adversities his mind had endured throughout his life, trying to focus his story into blocks”. Formed in 2010 in Northern Portugal, SOUL OF ANUBIS have carved out a distinct place within the European underground thanks to their explosive fusion of thrash, sludge, doom and post-metal. Their sound channels the raw urgency of Mantar, the primal energy of early Mastodon, and the relentless drive of High On Fire and Black Cobra, yet remains unmistakably their own – a visceral blend of aggression and dynamic shifts that refuses to be confined to a single genre. On stage, the duo are known for their fierce and magnetic performances, delivering an unfiltered surge of heaviness that connects with audiences on a deeply physical level. Over the years, they have performed extensively across Portugal and beyond, building a loyal following through their intensity and authenticity. The upcoming album promises to push their sonic boundaries even further, expanding upon their trademark blend of massive riffs, dark groove, and emotional gravity, while highlighting a newfound sense of urgency and compositional versatility.
