Lists
Forty bands. Four stages. Countless difficult choices. To help you plan your Friday at Alcatraz, we’ve picked six acts that we think are absolutely worth checking out: Igorrr, Combichrist, HEALTH, Vended, Witch Club Satan and Insanity Alert.
Agree with our picks, or did we miss one of your favourites? Let us know!
It’s finally there! The week of the very first edition of Ankea Festival! If you’re still somehow on the fence on why you should get yourself a ticket and come join us in Tampere this weekend, here are 8 reasons that hopefully will convince you!
While it’s a given that as a metalfan you’ll want to catch shows of Dimmu Borgir and Kerry King today at the first day of Tuska, we think that there are a couple more bands that deserve some of your attention, or that we think will be even more epic to see live than you might suspect with editorial picks Lord of the Lost’s festival opening show, I Am The Night, Infected Rain, Krypta, Suburban Tribe, Assemble The Chariots, Zeal & Ardor and Pendulum!

Igorrr was back on tour and blew our heads off again with their show at Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki together with just as intense shows from DVNE and thoughtcrimes!
Kim Dracula is back in Finland! Such a damn fun show it was! After seeing them killing it at Tuska last summer, it was about time for a proper club show. And with support from VOWWS, it was quite the diverse night of music at Ääniwalli!
No backdrop, no filter. Kim Dracula, Whitechapel, and Nothing More on the Radio City & Nordic Energy Stages during Tuska Sunday 2025.
Every year we like to look back at the amazing shows we captured, and in 2024 Anna/ScarletMemory Photography covered bands like Vola, Apulanta, Marko Hietala, Cyan Kicks, Stam1na, Kotiteollisuus, Blind Channel, Cyhra, Sigh, Everwave, Sonata Arctica, Neonfly, Altamullan Road, Avatar, Raskasta Joulua, Beatrix, Battle Beast, Steve ‘n’ Seagulls, Áilu Valle, Amoc and Trio Boogiemen mostly in Tampere, Finland!
Pictures of the artists on the Radio City and OPEN AIR II stage of the first day of Tuska 2024, with I Am The Night, Infected Rain, Suburban Tribe, GHØSTKID and Zeal & Ardor!
Hexvessel turned, with the support of Unfyros, Kuudes Linja in Helsinki into a magically doomy place filled with smoke, and darkness.
Pictures of Imperial Triumphant, Electric Callboy and Urne on the third day of Tuska 2023.
On the third day of Rockfest 2023, we weren’t able to capture as many bands as on the earlier days due to other responsibilities and some artists not wanting any pictures to be taken, but we still caught killer performances on the Red Stage by Soundi by Igorrr, The Hellacopters and Beast In Black!
The second day of Steelfest XI delivered another serving of proper dark underground and extreme metal on the indoors stage with performances from Gravespawn, Ymir, Infernal, Totalselfhatred, Ride For Revenge, Gehenna and Carpathian Forest!
