San Francisco Bay Area progressive metal band Wreck of Time has revealed that legendary Brazilian bassist Luís Mariutti will appear as a special guest on their upcoming album, Mind Sludge, due out in March 2026.
Mariutti, widely recognized for his groundbreaking work with Angra, Shaman, and Henceforth, recorded bass on two tracks of the album, adding his signature sound and unmistakable energy to Wreck of Time’s reimagined release.
Frontman Rafael Macedo shared:
“Luís has been an inspiration to us since the very beginning. His playing on Mind Sludge took these songs to another level. Having him be part of this album is not only an honor, but also a dream come true for us.”
Mind Sludge itself carries deep meaning for the band. Originally intended as Wreck of Time’s debut album years ago, it was never properly released due to label and production issues. Now, revisited and fully re-recorded, the album finally receives the sound and production it always deserved — with Mariutti’s contribution making it even more special.
With a career spanning decades and a legacy that shaped Brazilian and international metal, Luís Mariutti’s guest appearance represents both a tribute to Wreck of Time’s roots and a bold step forward in their musical journey.
Mind Sludge is scheduled for release in March 2026. More updates, previews, and behind-the-scenes content will follow in the weeks ahead.
