Mind Odyssey

Mind Odyssey was founded in 1993 by singer and bassist Mario LeMole, guitarists Dan Uhden and Rocco Stellmacher, and drummer Volker Schultz. The first album, Keep it All Turning, was released in late 1993. Shortly afterwards, the two guitarists left the band and were replaced by Victor Smolski. The following album, Schizophrenia, was released in the summer of 1995. In 1996, Mario LeMole decided to focus more on singing and hired bassist Jan Michael Keller, then keyboardist Andreas Dirksmeier. In late 1996, after several concerts in Germany, the band went on a European tour opening for Vicious Rumors.
