The outdoor stage on the 2nd day of Steelfest XI was the place for explosive and often high velocity performances by Tsatthoggua, Sex Messiah, Grenadier, Witchtrap, Kalmankantaja and Behexen!

Steelfest XI was the first time to be a full 3-day event, and the first day was killer with bands like Coraxul, Azazel, Nattverd, Utuk Xul, Hail Conjurer, Nocturnal Sorcery, Sacrilegious Impalement, Loits, The Committee, Pest, Horna, Deströyer 666 and Marduk!

Extreme metal legends Ringworm joined the Nuclear Blast roster for the release of their 9th album ‘Seeing Through Fire’ in August! And released a first single to celebrate with ‘No Solace, No Quarter, No Mercy’!

The first day of Steelfest XI also brought a series of explosive and high energy performances to the outdoor stage with Azazel, Utuk Xul, Nocturnal Sorcery, Loits, Pest and Deströyer 666!

If you are still looking for a great summer destination, here are 10 festivals that might make Finland the ideal place to go for you with #Horizon23, Rockfest, Tuhdimmat Tahdit, Nummirock, Tuska, John Smith Festival, SaariHelvetti, Dark River Festival, Hellsinki Metal Festival and Flow Festival!

Nervosa came to On The Rocks in Helsinki to prove to us all that they are still a force to be reckoned with, even though the band is in yet another new iteration at the moment. With Prika on vocals, they sound as solid as ever, and killed it. Local heavy metal heroes Satan’s Fall were special guests and warmed us up nicely for the good old thrashing we were getting later.

After last year’s cancellation, Nervosa came back to Finland on their small “Northern Tour” about a month ago, and set the house on fire with the help of local support Satan’s Fall at On The Rocks in Helsinki!

Steelfest manages to impress with their line-up and organization every single year, and this year is no different, even after some recent setbacks! We’re amazed with the line-up that celebrates everything that is underground and extreme yet again, and that’s only a part of the reasons why you should still try to make it to the fest this weekend!

In about 3 weeks, the eleventh edition of Steelfest will take place in Hyvinkää, Finland and they have yet again a very impressive line-up at this 3-day celebration of the underground!
