About Me

Maitiera (My-tear-a) is a blend of diverse musicianship, with intricate guitar work, Latin drums, slap bass, and melodic yet intense vocals. Maitiera would be a great metal band if it wasn't for their pop sensibility pleasing their own taste for fast progressive leads on top of infectious grooves. By unintentional design their style is built for the classic and contemporary music enthusiast, for those who enjoy heavy beats or epic ballads, whether its soothing acoustic guitar strumming or raging screams you seek you will find it in Maitiera.
