Day one of Tuhdimmat Tahdit in it’s all renewed version gave us Kotiteollisuus, Marko Hietala, Lost Society, Stratovarius, Mokoma, Stam1na and Amorphis. What a great festival that we sure will return to again in the future.
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, Holding Absence released ‘The Noble Art Of Self Destruction’, an album that left quite an impression on one of our writers, an album that tells a beautiful story on top of a bed of beautiful music. It is metalcore, but very melodic and not as heavy as you would think, released via SharpTone Records!

This summer they hit European venues on their ‘Urban Decay Tour 2024’. With the opening date being a totally sold-out gig at Café Central in Weinheim, Germany.
