Missteria
Bio
Missteria started in 2005, with the idea of putting really heavy riffs to ringing melodic vocals. Eli and Lori wanted to create something totally unique by combining two totally different musical styles. Eli played fast paced hard hitting, heavy music with screaming vocals and Lori was playing the acoustic guitar and writing peace songs. So when they got t ogether and decided to create this new sound it was magical to say the least. Michael found himself in the middle of the driving force and filled the gap with his solid beats. Missteria not only features the raw passion and sweet grace of Lori?s vocals, but the music itself has its own voice and story. With lyrics that portray the cosmic yen + yang of the universe, a combination of innocence and darkness in perfect balance. The focus of their musical genius is how one creates their own Karma; one cannot change the past nor predict the future. Live, breath, think about all that you want the day to bring and it will happen if you believe. Missteria is here to portray the full spectrum of music and creativity.
