Interviews
We sat down with Jessie and Eleni of Ankor after their show at this year’s Tuska Festival, the last stop of a crazy weekend that took them to 3 different countries in 3 days, and had a short chat about their busy summer, the way they like to release new music and how 2024 really seems to be a big year for the band.
Yesterday, they announced a major European tour for 2025 which will take them to most countries of the continent. You won’t want to miss out on that, tickets are available starting tomorrow!

We sat down with vocalist Sini and guitarist Joni from Crimson Sun to talk about their new album ‘Sorrowbreaker’, out today, and how they did things a bit differently, resulting in a “lighter” album in the sense of somewhat breaking with the sorrow and shining a bright light, encouraging you to stop and enjoy life! Be sure to check out this great new album if you’re looking for some nice melodic heavy metal with a modern touch!

We had a chat with Jussi and Pasi from Where’s My Bible about their latest album ‘Kave’ (out now via Inverse Records) and the new direction they took their music and lyrics with this one, adding new instruments, vibes, vocal delivery and themes into a new chapter for the band!
Catch them live tonight at On The Rocks in Helsinki as support for the anniversary show of …and Oceans!

We sat down with Onni and Kevin from Assemble the Chariots at Tuska 2024 to talk about their new album ‘Unyielding Night’ (set for release on July 19th via Seek and Strike), how this is the start of a whole universe they’re creating, with the sound they’ve always envisioned for the band from the beginning. And we came back from the talk with 2 things ingrained in our heads: listen to the album from start to finish, and make sure you make it to the release show at On The Rocks in Helsinki where they’ll play the album in its whole for what sounds like a unique experience…

Last year, we met up with Mikko and Juho of Valkeat shortly before the release of their 2nd full-length album ‘Fireborn’ (released via Reaper Entertainment) to talk about how things came together and how they have a mission to create modern folk metal incorporating the kantele and being inspired by Finnish legends and poetry.

Back in 2023, when Leprous was last in Helsinki, we met up with Simen from Leprous to have a fun chat about touring, his highlights when being on tour and supporting your local live and cultural scene!
Since they’re playing in Finland again this coming week, we wanted to share this fun little bit from our archives, so enjoy and don’t miss out on their shows!
Links
We sat down with Esa from Metal De Facto to talk about how things have been going for the band since their first album, their new album ‘Land of the Rising Sun part 1’ (out since today via Rockshots Records), why they went for the Japanese culture as the theme and their hopes and plans for the future of the band!
They’re playing a release show tonight in Tampere and tomorrow in Helsinki, be there and contribute in making power metal great again!

We sat down with the Finnish rockers of The Empire Strikes to have a chat about their new album ‘Motell Scandinavia’, how come it took so long to get it out, what the idea is behind the title and some nice background bits about how some of the songs came together! Catch them live at their release show in Helsinki tonight or Spain and Germany later this year!

We talked with June and Eemeli from Mors Subita about their new album ‘Origin of Fire’ (released recently via Out of Line Music) and how taking more time to record and working with Tue Madsen for the mixing and mastering resulted in a more organic, full sound that was aggressive with a touch of old school heavy riffing.
And we laugh about their drummer possibly regretting asking for a song with blastbeats and a fan knowing the lyrics of a new song better than Eemeli at one of their recent shows…
Links
Last Spring, we sat down with Julius and Matti from I Am Your God to talk about their new album ‘SINister’ (released in May via Out of Line Music), how it shows their growth as a band, what they did differently this time and why the album title is written the way it is.
