Tuska unleashed the first batch of bands for the 2024 line-up and it seems they put their chips strongly on modern metal/metalcore with Bring Me The Horizon, Bloodred Hourglass, Bury Tomorrow, Make Them Suffer, Infected Rain and Fixation, proggy music with Opeth, Vola, Voyager and Riverside, and power metal with Alestorm, Angus McSix and Brothers Of Metal. And of course, festival regulars Amorphis and Stam1na belong to the party as well!

What do you think of the line-up already? Who do you hope to be added still?

Fifth album “Ontological Mysterium” from the US metal four-piece Horrendous is a sonic feast for fans of technical/progressive death metal. The album shines with its intricate guitar work with a superb level of technicality. Released a couple of weeks ago via Season of Mist.
