Mindflayer is a noise rock band from Providence, Rhode Island made up of Brian Chippendale (of Lightning Bolt) and Matt Brinkman (of Forcefield) which was formed out of Fort Thunder.
Much of Mindflayer's identity, including their band name, are obscure Dungeons & Dragons references. "Mindflayer" 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, is a play on words to a popular Dungeons & Dragons module book, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.
