Get ready for some Carelian craziness, as this thrash team from Lappeenranta brings their show to the metal heads of Northern Carelia. Mokoma is a band that delivers, year after year. This frisky 20-something band is about to release their tenth studio album Hengen pitimet this May, and we will definitely hear brand new music at Ilosaarirock Festival.
In addition to their heavier side, the mighty Mokoma has released two acoustic albums, Varjopuoli and Laulurovio, bringing a whole new approach to their classic songs. With their upcoming album, Mokoma returns to the distorted sounds and furious drumming. The first tastee of the new album will be available in late March as Mokoma releases the first single Kepeät mullat. Don't be fooled by lame impersonators, come and check out the one and only Mokoma in the most rocking festival environment!
