Swedish punk rock outfit Rotten Mind launch the new single ”Visitor in the Present” on June 9. This single, alongside the track ”Pointless Love” released earlier this year, was recorded at the same time as Rotten Mind‘s latest, fifth studio album ”Unflavored” from 2022. With a unique mixture of gothic post punk and 60‘s garage rock, ”Visitor in the Present” stands out from what the band has done before.
Jakob Arvidsson (guitar/ vocals) on the new single:
Visitor in the present is about feeling like you‘re outside of everything. When others seem to fit right in, you feel like you don‘t belong at all. I was listening to a lot of 60‘s garage rock when I wrote this song. We wanted to do something that had that feeling as well as being gothic at the same time.
We‘re super happy to finally release these two songs. They were recorded at the same time as the “Unflavored” album but we chose to do something else with them since the record felt done with the other songs. As you‘ll probably hear they‘re quite different from what we usually do.

Sweden’s Rotten Mind combines elements of 77’ punk, post-punk, dark wave, and garage rock into their own brand of melodic and alternative punk. Effortlessly moving between gloomy, epic, bittersweet, punchy, and energetic soundscapes, the band brings vintage-sounding punk to the modern age with a timeless attitude and palpable verve.
Rotten Mind consists of Jakob Arvidsson (guitar/ vocals), Liz Panella (bass), Johan Sverredal (guitar) and Victor Nordin (drums). The band was formed in Uppsala, Sweden in 2015. As one of the four original bands affiliated with Lövely Records, Rotten Mind has released five studio albums; “I’m Alone Even With You” (2015), “Rotten Mind” (2017), “Fading into Oblivion” (2018), and ”Rat City Dog Boy” (2020). In 2022, the band launched their latest, fifth studio full-length; “Unflavored”.
Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut, Rotten Mind has toured frequently, playing shows in Australia, Germany, France, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, UK, USA, Spain and the Czech Republic. The band has shared stages with Hurula, Asta Kask, and The Sounds, and has been recognized in music magazines such as NME, Vice, Vive Le Rock, and Swedish Gaffa.
Rotten Mind’s sound exists somewhere in the dark wastelands where 80’s UK acts like The Vibrators meets US bands such as Christian Death and T.S.O.L. Their fresh and modern contribution to the genre makes Rotten Mind comparable with contemporary acts such as Crusades, Iceage, Radioactivity, Metz and High Tension Wires.
