About:
Listen up! You want mosh happy crossover-thrash from another planet? Fast riffs? Rippin' solos? Then stop giving a fuck what other people think and prepare for some neck aerobics from Montreal, QC's MUTANK!
Formed when three Newfoundlanders crossed paths in the Canadian heavy metal capital with Ahmed Saad who hails from the Middle East, the injection of music immediately began to flow through their veins and M.E.C.H. metal was soon born.
"It stands for Middle East Coast Heavy Metal; Our drummer being from the Middle East and the rest of the members being from the east coast of Canada," explains Stephen Reynolds (bass, vocals).
It also just so happens to be the title of the band's debut album 'M.E.C.H. Metal', which features eight monumental thrash tracks that will either make you want to punch something or just plain dance while delivering thoughtful, honest lyrics for those who wish to look deeper.
"Every single person in this band is a songwriter, so the songs come out with their own feel and develop naturally.' continues Reynolds. 'We don't shackle ourselves to any kind of focused idea, which brings about a sort of honesty in the music not often found in metal.'
M.E.C.H. Metal was unleashed on February 1, 2014 with the video 'Heavy Hand of The Doomsday Clock' and is available on the band's bandcamp here.
Quick Fact: MUTANK are the 2014 Wacken Metal Battle Canada Champions being judged by industry music reps #1 out of over 100 Canadian bands to rep Canada at the international Metal Battle in Wacken, Germany during 2014's Wacken Open Air Fest (the largest in the world).
