The creation o “Stigma”

The members o Mind Assault hae haed the opportunity tae gain a stranger sense o themselves since the beginnin o 2007. It wis at this juncture, when the line-up wis fully completit an aw o those elements which the foondin members haed sought oot wur finally in place, that the baund thocht it feasible tae think aboot an album.

It teuk some time, an a fair amoont o argument tae decide on which sangs tae include, an why. At the end o the day, “Stigma” is no so much an album as it is a compilation intendit tae showcase the abilities an spectrum o the baund. The purpose o this creation wis twafauld:

1) Ower the years o tireless performin, there haes grown a public demand for guid quality recorded material frae Mind Assault.

2) If Mind Assault wur iver going tae achieve greater things than wur possible in Soothren Africae , then the baund woud require a “showcase” o sorts tae exhibit themselves tae prospective owerseas interest.

Towards these intents an purposes, Mind Assault regard “Stigma” as a demo album, recordit an produced independently on extremely limited resources, providit bi the baund members themsels. A limited number o copies wur pressed for sellin at events an through some businesses.
