media interview with karina sher

doc rock's metal shop 101 

The air in the studio Today carries a different kind of electricity. It’s not just the static of high-gain amplifiers or the hum of the transmitter cooling fans; it’s the lingering resonance of metal royalty. It is Wednesday on Doc Rock's Metal Shop 101 Radio , and Today, Doc Rock’s Metal Shop 101 serves as the throne room for a retrospective on a powerhouse who has redefined what it means to be a DIY titan in the heavy music world. 

The Reign of the Queen of Ragebreed. To call Karina Sher a vocalist is like calling a hurricane "windy." She is a multi-dimensional force of nature, standing at the intersection of brutal honesty and ethereal atmosphere. As the frontwoman for Mindlapse, she has pioneered a brand of melodic death metal that doesn't just assault the senses—it demands respect. Since 1996, Mindlapse has been the hammer, sharing stages with icons like Napalm Death and proving that longevity in this industry is built on grit and evolution.

But a queen must also have her shadows. Through Lake of Dreams, Karina explores "acoustic doom," a hauntingly beautiful departure that reveals the vulnerability beneath the armor. It is this duality—the roar of the warrior and the whisper of the poet—that makes her one of the most compelling figures in metal today.

Hosted by James Roach, this interview dives into the progressive metal intensity of Mindlapse, the different sub-genres since the band started to the cinematic and emotional universe of Lake Of Dreams, and how Karina weaves personal experience, spirituality, and the artistry into her work. Expect insight into Rage Of Masses the new single, and Lake Of Dreams "Hold Me" the new single recently released via Ragebreed Records and worldwide distribution through Earache worldwide distribution. Talks on the creative process, lyrical themes, the Lake Of Dreams film and the evolution of Ragebreed’s expanding artistic universe, direct from the mind behind the movement.

She has also promoted Lake Of Dreams via her Coffee & Metal Brand.

"Please be informed that earlier this year, Richard Chappell was part of the band. Unfortunately, he is currently dealing with a hand condition that prevents him from performing on stage or in the studio with Lake Of Dreams. His health is our top priority. As a result, John Mitchell has stepped in to play the instruments and will be collaborating with me on the recording of the singles and album. We anticipate that the material will be fully film-ready for both Lake Of Dreams and Mindlapse's singles and albums by the end of the year. All upcoming releases will be distributed through Ragebreed Records and Earache Digital Distribution." - Karina Sher
