The Foundation of Masheena
Born from the vibrant music scene of Bergen in 2021, Masheena is redefining hard rock with their electrifying sound and unstoppable energy.
Masheena is based on a simple yet challenging mission: to honor the rich heritage of hard rock music by creating great songs that people can connect with.
Formed by seasoned musicians from the Bergen, Norway, Masheena exploded onto the scene with their debut album, West Coast Hard Rock (2023). This sonic masterpiece, recorded with Iver Sandøy (Enslaved) and mixed/mastered by Machine (Clutch, Lamb of God, King Crimson), soared to #6 on the Doom Charts and garnered rave reviews worldwide.

In 2024, Masheena took their sound global, headlining a European tour that left audiences in awe across Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. They also recorded their highly anticipated second album in Texas, produced by Machine and set to drop in early 2026. The first single is slated for release in late 2025.
