Biography

Misterer was founded by multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer Mikko Herranen in Helsinki in the fall 2017. Herranen (RUST, Velcra, Mauron Maiden) is joined by Juhani Flinck (Dead Shape Figure, Hope) on guitar, Timo Hänninen (Iiwanajulma, Cro Loner, Velcra) on guitar and Beavis (Of All Times) on bass. [2]

Misterer's first single and a music video for Backrage was released worldwide in March 2018. The second single Disconnected followed in May. Released in August 2018, their third single Perkelation tells a tragicomic story on how the Finns get hammered every weekend and occasionally express their feelings in a drunken brawl in queue for the grill or a taxi. [3]

Misterer releases its debut album Ignoramus on digital download and streaming services and as a CD and a cassette on 24 April 2019. [4]

On 18 December 2020, Misterer released their second full-length album Under Attack. The first two singles We Kill and Totalitarian featured guest musicians Samy Elbanna and MC Raaka Pee respectively. Other guests on Under Attack include Marko Hietala, Matias Kupiainen, Petri Lindroos, Ben Varon and Niki Jurmu. [5] The album has been reviewed to feature interesting turns and dynamics that change the soundscape as well as groove with thrash and industrial elements. [6]

Inspired by thrash metal and traditional heavy metal, groove metal features raspy singing and screaming, down-tuned guitars, heavy guitar riffs, and syncopated rhythms. Unlike thrash metal, groove metal is usually slower and also uses elements of traditional heavy metal. Pantera are often considered the pioneers of groove metal, and groove metal expanded in the 1990s with bands like White Zombie, Machine Head, and Sepultura.
