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 🤘
18,000 metalheads, perfect Midsummer weather and four days of unforgettable memories… Nummirock celebrated its 40th anniversary in style and are already looking forward to next year again!

unpeople just released their new single and official video ‘friends’, from the upcoming debut album ‘we are unpeople’, out in October via SharpTone Records!
Kælan Mikla don’t see themselves as a band that created a world. They see themselves as people who were invited into one. At Ankea Festival 2026, we sat down with the Icelandic trio to talk about the long-awaited new album, stepping away from constant touring, their shared creative “hive mind”, and why Kælan Mikla has always felt like an ever-expanding universe rather than simply a band.
Québec City-based folk and black metal band Tsar Stangra are set to release their new full-length album ‘Химните на разрушените светове (Hymns of the Broken Worlds)’ on July 1st via Globmetal Promotions, an ambitious piece of work exploring Bulgarian history, folklore, pagan ritual, exile, language and cultural memory!
Fresh off the release of ‘Prima Bailarina’, we caught up with Finnish artist Nenerchy at her sold-out release show to talk about her genre-defying sound, punk philosophy, anime influences and her upcoming appearance at Tuska next week, that you definitely should go check out!
Blood Incantation’s “All Gates Open (OST)” is a space voyage into celestial soundscapes that are breathlessly emotional from start to finish. Enter the planetary gateway where the sublime odyssey carries you into the infinite of space, beyond our time, existence, and reality. Out via Century Media Records since June 5th. We can’t wait to see what kind of soundscape and universe they will bring to the Tuska stage next week!
Eihwar release a live video of their full performance at Echos & Merveilles 2026 earlier this year, so if you had to miss out earlier or want to get hyped up for their upcoming US tour, go check it out!
