Formed in the Fall of 2015 by two-thirds of now defunct punk/metal ensemble Arbogast, also part of the Nefarious Industries family, MINE COLLAPSE picks things up where Arbogast left off, with Aaron Roemig and Mike Rataj continuing a nearly decade-long collaborating streak. Roemig and Rataj hurl a ten-ton mass of experience onto the Chicago music scene with their newest endeavor–having served time in other Chicago notables Lord (Asian Man Records), Modern Advances (Baldy Longhair Records), Retro Morning, Still Machine, and Sons of Ra.

Six years after unleashing their self-titled debut, MINE COLLAPSE return with Delusions, a collection of songs reflecting on the delusional nature of man, each track offering a different take on a delusion ranging from serial killers to religious zealots. Joined by guitarist Justin Dickert, the trio once again recorded with Andy Nelson at Chicago’s Bricktop Recording. The EP was mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege and features original artwork by Child Bite’s Shawn Knight.
