History
Midnight Bullet have been around since 2009. The founding members singer/songwriter/guitarist Tuomas Lahti and the drummer Mikko Nokelainen still lead the band. The first album ”Faraday Cage” (2012) featured songs in the vein of Metallica, Motörhead and Avenged Sevenfold. The album includes the fan favourite track ”Trough the Iron” wich is still played at the end of every Midnight Bullet show. The album was produced by Tuomas and Tipi Nokelainen who also handled bass duties at the time. Tipi is currently the bassplayer and singer for the Finnish metalcore group in As I May. The Faraday Cage album can now be seen more as Tuomas’s solo project as all the songs were solely written by him. Lauri Ikonen was called in to play lead guitars for the songs. He’s still in the band today.
The next album ”Lose My Face” (2015) was more of a jointed effort and included more ideas from the band in the songwriting. Some new elements were introduced and the songs had more variation. Album featured hard hitters as the title track, and the frantic ”Memories Are Gone”, but also included the beautiful ballad ”Hope”. After ”Lose My Face” was released Tipi left the band and Mirko Miettinen was invited to play bass for the live shows. Mirko is also a experienced drummer and has a degree in sound and visual studies, wich has really helped the band both musically and visually in terms of video making and editing. Mirko is with the band still and with Mikko they now form a rythm section that is a force to be roconned with!
