Biography

edit

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]
