Wreck of Time

Press Release Wreck of Time Announces Legendary Bassist @luismariuttioficial as Special Guest on Mind Sludge San Francisco Bay Area progressive metal band Wreck of Time has revealed that legendary Brazilian bassist Luís Mariutti will appear as a special guest on their upcoming album, Mind Sludge, due out in March 2026. Mariutti, widely recognized for his groundbreaking work with Angra, Shaman, and Henceforth, recorded bass on two tracks of the album, adding his signature sound and unmistakable energy to Wreck of Time’s reimagined release. Frontman Rafael Macedo shared: “Luís has been an inspiration to us since the very beginning. His playing on Mind Sludge took these songs to another level. Having him be part of this album is not only an honor, but also a dream come true for us.” Mind Sludge itself carries deep meaning for the band. Originally intended as Wreck of Time’s debut album years ago, it was never properly released due to label and production issues. Now, revisited and fully re-recorded, the album finally receives the sound and production it always deserved — with Mariutti’s contribution making it even more special. With a career spanning decades and a legacy that shaped Brazilian and international metal, Luís Mariutti’s guest appearance represents both a tribute to Wreck of Time’s roots and a bold step forward in their musical journey. Mind Sludge is scheduled for release in March 2026. More updates, previews, and behind-the-scenes content will follow in the weeks ahead. #newalbum #luismariutti #wreckoftime #mindsludge #angra #shaman #luismariuttiteam #bass #progmetal #powermetal #metal #rock #xvectorbasses #musicmanmajesty #musicmanjp15 #pearldrums

Press Release Wreck of Time Announces Long-Awaited Album Mind Sludge, Coming March 2026 San Francisco Bay Area progressive metal band Wreck of Time has announced the upcoming release of their new album, Mind Sludge, set for March 2026 (exact date to be confirmed). This record carries a special meaning for the band. Mind Sludge was originally intended to be their debut album years ago, but due to problems with their first label and poor production, it was never properly released. Now, Wreck of Time has revisited and re-recorded the entire work, giving the music the sound and quality it always deserved. Frontman Rafael Macedo explains: “Mind Sludge has a very special history for us. It was actually the first album we ever recorded, but because of issues at the time, it never saw the light of day. The process back then was really tough, and it left some bad memories. What changed everything was our keyboard player, Jeremy Villucci — he inspired me to revisit those songs and give them another life. This whole process has been healing for me, and I believe fans will hear that in the music.” To make the release even more exciting, the band will also announce a very special guest appearance just one week after the initial album announcement. With Mind Sludge, Wreck of Time continues to expand their unique blend of progressive metal and rock, combining powerful riffs, dynamic compositions, and emotional storytelling. Fans can follow the band’s official channels for updates, previews, and the special guest reveal. #newalbum #announcement #progmetal #metal #rocknroll #wreckoftime #mindsludge #newmusic
