We caught up with Nenerchy at Tuska 2026 to talk about ‘Prima Bailarina’ being out in the world, the emotional release show about a month earlier, mosh pits, the moment she realised she was finally playing Tuska, and what’s already happening with new music. Plus, we couldn’t resist checking in on the anime obsession. Catch her in action tonight at Tavastia, supporting Alter Annala!
LA duo Patriarchy released their latest EP ‘Appendices’ and just before that excited fans by unveiling focus track and live show favorite ‘Servile’, featuring Witch Club Satan with some banshee level backing vocals! They’ve been touring Europe this past month or so, but you can already look forward to them coming back with the recent announcement of them being part of the 2027 line-up of Finnish underground festival Sonic Rites!
Dark pop, alt breakout Summer Hoop released her new track ‘Mindlessly’ to celebrate her signing with Oxide Music! A taste of what is yet to come still later this year!
Eivør announced her new studio album ‘Tungl’ to be out in October with Nuclear Blast Records and unveiled latest single and video ‘Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden’!
A new Japanese entity has arisen with YAO, a supergroup with pedigree the size of a kaiju featuring hip-hop queen Awich, rapper Chico Carlito, ONE OK ROCK and Paledusk! An epic first single ‘777’ was released, showing off the blend of hip-hop, rock and alternative music they’ll bring, including cinematic music video!
Nicole Alexis recently signed to Hardworking Record Company and shared a first single with them with the haunting track ‘Goodbye’!
UK alternative group Loathe are back with their new album ‘A Stranger To You’ in a couple of weeks via Sharptone Records and recently shared the latest single ‘Fangs’!
After years of reimagining other artists’ songs, Nicole Alexis finally put her own stories front and center. We talked about her EP ‘Mirrors and Smoke’, vulnerability, independent artistry, Nashville and finding the confidence to trust her own voice.
Different scenes, one packed venue, and a whole lot of good vibes. Nenerchy celebrated the release of her debut album ‘Bailarina’ with a sold-out party at On The Rocks in Helsinki, joined by Kirkkovene.
It’s been 10 years since our very first Tuska visit, and it has become a yearly event in our planning. With Tuska 2026 on the horizon, we took a look at the things that have us counting down the days until we’re back at Suvilahti. If you somehow still haven’t decided to get your tickets and join us there, hopefully we can convince you to go for it 🤘
