The Cambridge English Dictionary defines mechanism as ‘a mechanical contrivance; structure of a machine.’ Well, that dictionary will soon need a new entry, which reads ‘Meka Nism: totally uncontrived, a new structure of metal music’. Originally formed in 2006 under the steampunk-sounding name of Meka Nism and the Rusty Years; the band, now known as the more streamlined MEKA NISM, has mutated into the awesome future-forming metallic behemoth it is now. Featuring a band firing on all cylinders and the most charismatic front-woman, MEKA NISM have supported legends like Mastodon, Gojira, The Offspring, Limp Bizkit, Otep and In Flames. The very diversity of their support slots speaks volumes for MEKA NISM, they are a true 21st century band, building new edifices on what has come before.Inspired by Metallica, Joan Jett, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Ghost, MEKA NISM’s sound is powerful, metallic, aggressive, melodic, and in your face. Set to unleash their new EP “The War Inside” later this year to follow their three previous releases “Live From The Machine Shop” (Live CD) (2016), “The Shift” (EP) (2015), “The Dance At The End of The World” (EP) (2013), the Orlando based band has teamed up with New Noise Magazine for the video premiere of the EP’s title track.


Guitarist Bobby Keller comments:

“We are all very excited to finally unleash our new single, “The War Inside”, to the masses! We wanted to make a song that a lot of people could relate to, especially now a days with everything going on in the world. We all have internal battles, we all have external battles, whichever one it is, there is always a positive option or choice, even though it may not be as visible. The video portrays an internal struggle from lead singer Ms. Meka, as she confronts her inner demons and finds a way out!”

“Meka Nism is a band to watch. ” – Sonic Cathedral

“Lead singer Ms. Meka is intriguing and quite compelling, both visually and with her vocal range,  and the guys in her band provide the perfect vehicle for the artistic vision that they’ve managed to create together.” – I’m Music Magazine

“This band is simply what is needed in this world. I truly cannot get enough of this band and the music. Their second album “The Shift” is a work of art. The EP takes you on a journey through so many levels of brilliance in metal and rock. ” Metal Unrated

“They are an exceptionally talented 5 piece, fronted and founded by Meka, whose vocals are just mesmerizing…I feel like I can say a lot of the same things about a bunch of the songs, yet all the songs are very different. For the most part, they are all dynamic, they build and drop, they’re powerful, diverse, melodic, and heavy. You can feel the passion as well throughout, and that is often something hard to capture on a recording. The musicianship is top notch in all aspects…Easily one of my favorites of 2015. It blew me away like few things do anymore.” – The Last Exit (EP review “The Shift: Anthems For A Revolution” (2015)

“Full of energy, this band never fails to strike a chord with everyone sharing the stage from the audience. Meka’s vocals are the antithesis of the ever-present smile on her face that lights up the room. This lovely woman genuinely smiles with her eyes. The entire band is simply memorizing. Meka Nism is one of those bands that must be seen live. Don’t hesitate to meet them either. All of them are engaging, genuine and make you feel like the rock star! ” – Metal Nexus

“Orlando’s metal/operatic band, MekaNism performed songs which included “From Out of Nowhere” and “Mekamorphosis,” which got the crowd hyped for their set. Ms. Meka, with her melodious sound and great enthusiasm, was so engaged and energized throughout the performance. The rest of the band was bursting with the same energy and truly put on a memorable show.” – (Live Review) Monkey Goose Magazine
