MikhMakh, the “most boring band in the music industry,” knows how to keep you on your toes. Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, this alternative metal band has mastered blending heavy riffs, punchy melodies, and an offbeat sense of humour. Founded in 2018 by guitarist and vocalist Antoine Mikhtarian, MikhMakh is anything but boring, despite their tongue-in-cheek self-branding.
With three studio albums under their belt and tours across Eastern Europe, MikhMakh is known for electrifying live performances that leave fans anything obsessed hours after their performance. Their brand is built on playfulness and authenticity, pairing hard-hitting, riff-heavy tracks with an energy that’s palpable in both their music and their personas. Their fanbase continues to grow, thanks in part to their refusal to take themselves too seriously while still delivering seriously good music.
Antoine’s bold guitar work and melodic vocals combined with drummer Olle Sohlberg’s rhythmic powerhouse performance have created a dynamic sound that continues to evolve. When Olle joined the band in 2023, MikhMakh’s sound only got tighter, groovier, and more explosive. Their music draws influence from legendary rock acts like Freak Kitchen, Alter Bridge, and Seether, yet they carve out their own niche with infectious energy.
Their latest track, “Do It Now,” is a perfect example of what makes MikhMakh special. With its catchy riffs and driving beat, the song is an anthem for anyone looking to seize the moment. It captures the band’s mission: to create music that empowers, excites, and engages—all while not taking themselves too seriously. Because let’s be honest when a band calls themselves “boring,” you know they’re anything but.
