About mhela
MHELA is an Italian surrealist/alternative metal band from Tuscany, born in January 2013. The current lineup features vocalist Erick "Steve Low", drummer Michele "Splash" Sestito, bassist Mattia Giannini and guitarist Andrea Zucchini. The band originally included a fifth member, keyboardist Federico Carraro, who quit in November 2016. Erick, Michele and Andrea met in high school and immediately became friends thanks to their mutual love for groups such as Korn, SOAD, Nightwish, Slipknot etc... The three started their project to express themselves through an aggressive but nonetheless melodic sound. The band genre can be described as alternative metal with symphonic influences. with pre-recorded synthesizer effects which create a sick and distorted atmosphere. The lead rhythms are based on groovy riffs and clean vocals harmonizing the ensemble. The lyrics focus on nightmares, fears, insanity, frustration and other psychological issues afflicting today’s generation. The band members are able to turn their own weaknesses into strengths thanks to their music. In 2015 MHELA released its first demo, available for free on SoundCloud. The recording deal was part of the prize of the local "La meglio gioventù, regional" music contest. Later the band released its first music video, Vampires Don't Sleep, which can be found on its YouTube channel. Thanks to the members’ commitment in playing on every possible occasion in the Versilia area, they were able to play in various events alongside bands like Souldeciever, Under The Bed, Athena, Atlantic Tides and Carved and more... MHELA will release its first 7-tracks EP "ES" soon.
