"Miksha's epic riffs meld with bellowed voices and sampled noise to produce some impressive industrial metal... an evolved sense of man and machine living in harmony" Terrorizer Magazine
"Unquestionably brutal, the tracks on this debut also mix in electro beeps, programming and blast beats - not to mention telling moments of subtlety - to create a potent sound. This one could rip up the dance floor and ignite mosh pits simultaneously" 4/5 Zero Tolerance

01.04.05: Scream Magazine on our new album
“Dette bandet startet I Vadsø 1999 og flyttet til Trondheim. Nå album debuterer
de med ”Collect your hazardous waste”, og det er en sprek utgivelse. Metalcore
kan være ganske mangt og mye, av og til veldig kjedelig. Miksha derimot tråkker
til med en meget potent debut. Her er det tatt i bruk gitarsynth tenker jeg,
og det gir musikken en ekstra dimensjon. Noen ganger gir det litt industrielt
preg på musikken, andre ganger myker det opp det hele. De har en dybde som ikke
er å finne hos mange band. Her er det bare å hive seg på før toget er gått.”
–Anders Oddsberg

20.09.04: After three weeks in Dsign studios
we can finaly see the shape of our new album. We've almost finished the recording,
all that’s left is the vocals. The songs are turning out extravagant in
their own very special ways. We have kept the brutality from our ep, mixed it
with better songwriting, better musicans and our own heavy Miksha sound. Picking
out songs for the album will probably be hard, but judging by the sound of the
material recorded, there is no way we will fuck up!! STUDIO
PICTURES
20.09.04: We are sorry for these late updates,
but recently there has been a lot to do both in the Miksha camp. At the same
time with recording our album we’re creating the new Miksha atmosphere.

and so on. We are also working with a whole new live consept. This will of course
include heavy technology, and great timing!
