Mosfite, who craft melodic metal with a progressive twist in Kuopio, Finland, releases a five-song EP Homini Lupus Est in March. As a preview, the first song off the EP, Enemy is now out.
The song contains catchy riffage and rhyming while the lyrics talk about the difficulty of negotiation when facing an attack – how to stand firm when retreat and surrender are out of the question.
– My lyrics typically deal with weltschmerz, juxtapositions and problems. Science fiction, war and the consequences of it, generally the endless stupidity of the humankind is often under the microscope in one way or the other. Joyful themes are far and apart in them, as I gather inspiration mainly from dystopic movies and books, the singer-guitarist Antti ”DeeAa” Heikkinen explains.

The musical influences of Mosfite stem from New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, thrash metal and progressive rock and metal. They try to stay away from the modern, overproduced lifelessness, aiming to sound honest and big, yet dynamic and alive.
Mosfite was established in 2021. The debut album Mosfite released in 2022.
