The band comments:
“With the world going into full mayhem, the guitarist Mikko got an inspiration from the darkness and the endless sinkhole of despair. This led to three compositions that the vocalist Heikki appended into a story fulfilling the development from seeds of doom into full flourish. Originally this three-piece composition wasn’t meant to be heard out loud but with support from the band, it saw daylight in another studio session strengthened by the full band.”

Biography:

Erase This Earth is a death metal group from Tampere, Finland est. 2017. The band was born when the guitarist and primary songwriter Mikko Niskanen invited mutual long-time friends Heikki Mäki (vocals) and Antti Ohtonen (guitar), and decided to form a band as an outlet for their heavier riff ideas. Following some years of playing more casually and getting a full-time drummer Matias Rokio onboard, a proper production was started at 2021 with the release of debut single ‘In Their Name’. Right after their first release, ETE played their first gig and completed the lineup with Janne Pihlajaniemi (bass). The band’s first EP ‘Signs’ was released in the spring of 2022 and was followed with a single release ‘Out of Time’ that has enjoyed some attention even internationally.

Musically, Erase This Earth combines the elements of melodic death metal with a hint of tech and progressive styles that mirror the main composers’ personal preferences and musical backgrounds. This keeps the discography fairly diverse with songs ranging from straight warp-speed barrages to more progressive works such as ‘Signs’.
