MISTULA : Revelations

For this latest series of updates, Mistula rhythm guitarist Dragan, the band’s official UK import, wields an axe model close to his European heart.

Naming it “the British Embassy” (all Mistula guitars are named after important places), the design is inspired by the ESP Signature guitar model of Alexi Laiho, guitarist and vocalist of Finland’s own, Children of Bodom.

Mang Dading, guitar craftsman extraordinaire of legendary Philippine guitar manufacturer Lumanog guitars, painstakingly handcrafted every bit of detail in his very own workshop, where both Manx’s “Cebu” and Uno’s “Cutud” were also born. As a final touch, he baptized the six-string by etching and handpainting the ever-important Mistula logo on the headstock.

Even these supposedly elusive creatures proved quite easier to photograph than Djinn, one of Mistula’s earliest disciples (together with sister Mae), supporter, web designer, and most importantly, friend.

Djinn does her best to hide from the camera, because she believes it will eat her soul.

Mistula congratulates her for being unbelievably successful, so far (unlike our unlucky friends here).

To our dear Djinn, a very very happy birthday!

Another glorious mystery, revealed.

Presenting: the world wide web premiere of Mistula’s first-ever music video, “Mulat”.
