ADDING NOW TO LOUD & METAL FORMATS!!!
FROM FINLAND!!!

Out from the finnish music field rises Mehida. After several years of struggling with his musical vision, the keyboard player Mikko Harkin decided to leave his previous band Wingdom to finally accomplish the sight and sound he had been looking after for many years.

Musically the band is concentrated on bringing out the musical extremities, from difficult rhythmic sequences to unexpected modern melodic lines still keeping it all catchy and easy to listen to. The album "Blood & Water" is a reflection of creativism which flows out from the contribution of these talented rockers.

The band's stylistic scale is wide. It flows from the mathematical metal attitude prog to deep dark beautiful ballads. Raging guitars and the strong expression of the singer Thomas Vikström (ex- Candlemass) form the missing link in between the ambient synth atmospheres and precise rhytmic sects.

The album "Blood & Water" was recorded and mixed at the famous Fantom Studio, co-produced and mixed by Samu Oittinen (Diablo, Silentium etc.) On the album Mehida presents over fifty minutes of energetic modern metal. The enthusiasm towards music combined with unique creativity makes Mehida a rocksolid band.

The band line-up:
Thomas Vikström - Vocals
Toni Mäki-Leppilampi - Bass
Mikko Harkin - Keys
Jani Stefanovic - Guitars
Olli Tanttu - Guitars
Markus Niemispelto - Drums

ADDING NOW TO LOUD FORMATS!!!
FROM FINLAND!!

Sáwol started as a one man project. In 2005 Pekka started to compose slow and atmospheric music. After some time he decided to make a demo from the material that was ready and waiting, so he called Jussi to help with the drums. In September 2007 a demo was recorded with Jussi in drums and Pekka doing all other instruments and vocals. The demo got a good response but Pekka and Jussi were too busy with their other projects so pretty much nothing happened right after that.

In summer 2008 Pekka realized that the time might be right to continue pushing Sáwol forward. It wouldn't go far with just 2 musicians, so he asked his brother Matti to play the bass and a good friend Miika to play the other guitar. So a line-up was found and Sáwol wasn't a one man project anymore. The first Sáwol show took place in march 2009.

In may 2009 Sáwol entered the studio to start working on the first full-length album. In the middle of the studio sessions, in october, Sáwol headed to Norway to play a show in Nordic Fest. In january 2010 the band signed a deal with Bullroser records to release their debut album Through soil and Skin!
