Formed in 2008, death metal band Mesetiah are from Kokkola, Finland, and are obviously heavily influenced by the Florida death metal scene, and the likes of Pantera, Sepultura among many. What makes them stand out from many of today’s scene is that there is a real groove in what they are producing, combining that with a rawness and (dare I say it) commerciality to their songs. While they are undoubtedly heavy, there is the feeling that these guys have much more to offer than just heads down, get rid of the dandruff, and see you at the end. Following on from two full-length albums, the guys have now just released this six track EP through Inverse Records and this is something that could well get them a great deal of attention. Reminiscent in some ways of The Haunted, this is a short form introduction to a band that just keep growing in stature. They are definitely worth keep an eye on as their next album could be very powerful indeed if this material is anything to go by. For more details, visit www.inverse.fi
