We got to see a glimpse of Witch Fever, Bush and Volbeat when they came to Tampere’s Nokia Arena as the stop in Finland of the ‘Greatest Of All Tours’ tour! An event by Live Nation Finland.
Friday night at Black Hawk MC’s Choppershow weekend in Belgium was all about live music, and especially local bands with Poseydon, popular cover band Impact, and most of all Hexa Mera hitting the stage with a farewell show. Their powerful set hit especially hard, knowing the band is stepping away after 15 years: a bittersweet but fitting send-off for a group that’s been so important to our scene and community.
The final day of Alcatraz ended in style 🤘 Fear Factory, Kerry King, Michael Schenker, Dimmu Borgir, and Machine Head took over the Prison Stage. Relive the closing day’s highlights in our latest photo gallery! 📸
Last month, the tribe of Helsinki got to welcome Soulfly at Tavastia. Founded by the legendary Max Cavalera they still sound and are as energetic as ever, and with the fitting addition of Finnish hardcore icons Terveet Kädet as support, it was a great night with fast music!
Tuska 2025 day two hit hard on the main stage. Slaughter To Prevail, Orbit Culture, and headliners Powerwolf shaped a powerful Saturday at the festival.
Sun, sweat, and steel… Rockfest 2025 opened in style in Turku. H.E.A.T. brought the fire, Sepultura gave Finland their final bow, and Judas Priest proved once more why they’re the Metal Gods.
Moon Shot, RØRY, and Stam1na took over Rockfest’s Red Stage and Black Stage with unforgettable performances, and we captured it all.
Rivers of Nihil took over Tavastia in Helsinki a couple of months ago and absolutely blew our minds at the end of our weekend back then with the help of Cynic, Beyond Creation and Dååth!
