Mindflayer is a noise rock band from Providence, Rhode Island , made up of Brian Chippendale (of Lightning Bolt ) and Mat Brinkmann (of Forcefield ) which was formed out of Fort Thunder .
Much of Mindflayer's identity, including the band name, are obscure Dungeons & Dragons references. The name of the band refers to psionic creatures in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, Illithids , commonly referred to as "mind flayers." The covers of Take Your Skin Off and Die & Mold Services also resemble the Illithid's squid-like faces. The title to the band's fourth album, Expedition to the Hairier Peaks , plays on the popular Dungeons & Dragons module title, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks . Mat Brinkman uses a circuit bent analog synthesizer .
