This February, one of the year’s most highly anticipated tours arrived in Helsinki with full force as the “Death Over Europe” tour stormed into a sold-out Kulttuuritalo, bringing with it an absolutely crushing lineup featuring Mayhem, Marduk and Immolation!
Frozen Sould unleashed another crushing single with ‘Invoke War’, featuring Robb Flynn of Machine Head, and another track from their upcoming album ‘No Place of Warmth’, set for release in May via Century Media Records!
Symphonic metal collective Catalyst Crime unveiled the official video for ‘Acquired Immunity’, one of their most intenste tracks to date!
Finnish progressive melodic death metal band Numento presented their new true crime inspired single and video ‘The Extortionist’!

Swedish death metal stalwarts Vomitory present their new single ‘Wrath Unbound’, another track from their upcoming album ‘In Death Throes’, out in a couple of weeks via Metal Blade Records. Catch them live on tour in Europe with Hypocrisy, Abbath and Vreid starting next week!
We almost forgot to post this one… as we do every year, we ask our photographers to pick their best and most favorite captures of the past year, and 2025 brought acts like Borknagar, Doro, Machine Head, Ne Obliviscaris, Room 13, Vola, Infected Rain, Luna Kills, Kickin Valentina, Art Nation, SatchVai Band, Arkona, Kreator, Cro-Mags, Bury Tomorrow, Electric Callboy, BTL and Ankor in front of Tom V.M.’s camera!
Gladenfold’s new album ‘Soulbound’, which was released via Reaper Entertainment last month, combines interesting storytelling, powerful, atmospheric music and pleasantly strong vocals. Its absolutely worth a listen, or several.
At the beginning of the month, Omnium Gatherum took over DVG Club Kortrijk in Belgium with a (hopefully) temporary new vocalist and support from Fallujah and In Mourning!
The fifth studio album “Qroba” by Georgia’s funeral doom metal band Ennui is a ghostly and evocative piece that brings a sense of melancholia. If you like slow-paced, depressing funeral doom music, then you should check out this fantastic release. Out via Meuse Music Records since February 27th.
