1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

Formed in 2008, Mesetiah is a death metal band from Finland influenced mostly by the 90's metal scene.

The idea was to play some serious death metal and have fun while doing so. 

2.Recently you have released an ep, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical direction it has taken and also how does it differ from your previous 2 full lengths?

the band keeps constantly evolving,  both in songwriting and in production,

and you will be able to hear that on this ep.

3.Can you tell us a little bit more about the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the new release?

Fictional stories of life and death.

PRKL Club in Helsinki and Henry's Pub in Kuopio, both in 2011.
