Mycelia

Genres are a thing of the past... Mycelia have continuously strived to defy the traditional boundaries between metal’s various subgenres, while still keeping their sound fresh and engaging. Drawing on influences ranging from hardcore, metal and djent to jazz and classic film scores, the Swiss six-piece has continually baffled both critics and fans with their complex, heavy-yet-catchy arrangements. Mycelia was founded in 2010, by guitarist Mike Schmid and drummer Marc Trummer, who were shortly after joined by singer Marc Fürer. After two online EPs, the band released their debut album Isolator (2012), and its successor Nova (2013). Next, Mycelia released their third album Obey (2015) thereby setting a new quality standard for the entire Swiss metal scene. In the wake of Obey, Mycelia’s line-up was further improved with the joining of guitarist and singer Mike Fuller and bassist Eugen Wiebe. After a highly successful year of touring, the quintet completed the line-up with singer Lukas Villiger, and focused on the preparation for their fourth album, Dawn (2017). With Dawn, Mycelia were able to reach a new pinnacle of their musical career, drawing on their passion and experience to create a musical journey that fuses the technical depth and unrelenting energy of the band’s earlier works with the deep diversity and complexity of the later releases.<br>
