A video clip for their first single, "(Brain) – Geppetto’s Song", has just been exclusively premiered on Metal Insider! "“Geppetto’s Song” is a twisted take on the eternal clash between creator and creation – like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, " says vocalist Vladimir Korg. "Here, Pinocchio refuses to “become human” and play along with society’s lies. Instead, he chooses the outsider’s path, rejecting the polished morals of Disney in favor of the raw chaos of real life."

Directed by Leandro Miranda, the music video brings THE MIST together with the circus artists of Casa Circo Gamarra. Starring Diego Gamarra as Pinocchio, the clip follows his transformation into a human being – but the humans he encounters are far from kind.

Exactly 30 years after their last full-length Gottverlassen, Vladimir Korg once again leads THE MIST into new territory with a concept album divided into three acts. Musically, the album is pure, unrelenting thrash: lightning-fast riffs, punishing rhythms, furious vocals, and lyrics dripping with rage and allegory – the perfect soundtrack for vengeance.
Produced by André Damien, mixed and mastered by acclaimed producer Tue Madsen (Halford, Meshuggah, Moonspell), and featuring cover art by Michael Whelan, The Dark Side of the Soul stands as THE MIST’s most ambitious work to date.
Formed in 1989 from the ashes of Mayhem and fronted by ex-CHAKAL vocalist Vladimir Korg, THE MIST quickly carved out their place in the Brazilian metal underground. Their debut Phantasmagoria (1989) introduced a furious thrash sound infused with heavy metal roots, while their dark, conceptual second album The Hangman Tree (1991) became an underground classic.
The band went on to experiment with industrial elements on Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (1993) and closed their first era with Gottverlassen (1995). After splitting up, THE MIST reemerged in 2018, reigniting their legacy with The Scarecrow Tour featuring Jairo Guedz of The Troops Of Doom, and in 2021 released the acclaimed comeback EP The Circle of the Crow.
Now, in 2025, THE MIST are fully back with The Dark Side of the Soul (An Anatomy of the Soul), ready to reclaim their place among the titans of thrash!
