Cheers at all the fans at Qstock and Hevimesta, we love ya! We really had fun and I hope you did too. We gave everything we got, and Simo happened to get myocarditis after the Hevimesta gig, which sucks a lot, so send some positive vibes his way!! Anyways, we will rock once again at Nakrock 6th of September, more info will be here when we get some. Also, there's footage from the Qstock gig @Youtube, just search for 'Random Mullet qstock'. -Henri/RM

We are the demo of the month in Inferno magazine and the review is here.

14/02/2008 | review

"What they pull off here eclipses the attempts of other cross-genre wannabes with only a fraction of their wide aspirations, and when it comes to adventurousness, musical intelligence, and freshness, they have something to teach some of the very bands who have inspired them." Yay! 10/10 at Tartarean Desire.

03/02/2008 | updates

"Random Mullet is the best thing that has happened to Finnish music in a long time. There simply are not ANY bad things to say about this group." (Stalkermusic)

"Nomen is not omen, especially if a band serves this kind of content on their second demo. Music of the band is stunning, crooked, technical progressive metal which still keeps itself hell out of the self-purposed you-need-a-calculator-to-understand-this -metal." (Miasma magazine)

"With the help of an enormous portion of musical innovation, screams, grunts and alto-sax Random Mullet is angling for a record deal, which should not be long if I had a say in it. What a refreshing half hour of unbelievable but true musical meshes that never sound inaccessible." (Lords of Metal)
