Finnish Mosfite’s new EP, ”Homini Lupus est” offers a package of metal with echoes of trash as well as progressive metal and even grunge – just like the pre-taste of their recent single “Enemy” promised.

“Enemy” blasts out a very trash-influenced experience, complete with a style-staple guitar into that was left out in the single version, followed by “Brickslayer” moving into a little more traditional melodic metal territory and lyrics talking about a sad fate. The third song, ”Rules of War” switches on to a slower gear, teleporting the listener via the nineties with its grunge-flavors on to future, where AI has stopped the humankind from destroying itself – by destroying it first.

The fourth song, “Tanktop”, gets quite serious with a story about domestic violence, where in the end the victim is forced to act against the terror endured. The song is complex and multi-part in progressive style, with rhythmic tricks and time signature changes, while still retaining the drive of the previous songs.

The EP’s final song, ” 6ft Deep”, is a moody softer tune, which however also gets back to trash-y tempo by the end of it. All in all, the EP offers a versatile and nicely variation-rick package from the Finnish quartet bent to keep things honest and real!

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.
