V Shape Mind was a nu metal group from the United States that produced one major label album in 2003 before dissolving in 2004.
History
Established in 1999, V Shape Mind performed across the Illinois metal circuit and independently released their EP Metric in 2000. The band caught the attention of producer David Bottrill, who facilitated their contract with Universal Records.
Their first full-length album, Cul-De-Sac, debuted on September 9, 2003. The track "Monsters," which included guest vocals by Mudvayne's Chad Gray, received significant airplay. Although they toured alongside Mudvayne and Powerman 5000, widespread commercial success eluded them. Difficulties with Universal Records ultimately led to their disbandment. Their concluding show took place on May 6, 2004, at Lincoln Square Theater in Decatur, Illinois.
