RANDOM MULLET is a hybrid/progressive metal band formed in Oulu, Finland in 2004. Founding members Henri Heikka and Raine Oikarinen got the idea of doing more unique and left-field material compared to their already existing bands. In late 2004, they introduced the idea to the other guys and got 'em joining the group. The band went into the studio in June, 2005, and their first EP, Lifeless, was released that September. Random Mullet started making the next EP in the early 2006 and composed material for 10 months. In the septempber 2007 Infection was released on the official homepages as well as on the myspace-site.

Infection was praised by media and - more importantly - fans. The band played their first gigs in the summer of 2008 and step by step built a cult-reputation in the northern Finland. Since then the demand has been huge. Gigs contain professional musicianship but also

Imagine a pork stew with chocolate and tuna...

Mishmash, a hotchpotch of music styles. In a word, a mess. The second self-released EP from Random Mullet is random indeed. In the negative sense of the word. Don't get me wrong, I love eclectic music, nothing makes me happier than a well done avant-garde with adventurous approach to composition. It's not an easy thing to do, though. An example of how difficult it can be, is available as free download from the Random Mullet's website.

What bothers me most about that music is its nu/alt metal side. Maybe it's just me, but these melodic, nu metal parts just... do not harmonize with those jazzy/avant-garde/whatever-you-call-them ones. It doesn't click at all. Apart from nu metal, Random Mullet is heavily influenced by djent. Some melodic death metal elements are noticeable as well. Not to mention kind of industrial electronic spices. Now, all that seems to be there on its own, without any connection to the rest... A nu metal part here, a jazzy/Ihsahn'ish theme there. Horrid.

Having said that, there's no denying that it's a skilled group of musicians. Even though it is extremely inconsistent and chaotic stuff, the musicianship is good. Both growled and clean vocal parts are (mostly) well performed. So, if you like nu metal combined with... ermm... melodeath, djent, jazz, alt metal, electronic and pop, then I strongly recommend this album to you.
