Ice Nine Kills finally made it to Finland for 2 sold out shows, and we were at the Helsinki show in Vanha Ylioppilastalo back in May with support from special guests SKYND and openers Lansdowne! They quite literally killed it!
A true challenge for him, our photographer went to capture the performance art that is a live show of HIDE at Kuudes Linja in Helsinki a couple of months ago, with support from Keretik!
HIDE is easily the most oppressive, yet mesmerizing live performance I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing, and a couple of months ago at Kuudes Linja in Helsinki I got another chance of being blown away by them. Support came from the gloomy metalpunk locals of Keretik.
Abraham Alexandre and The Lumineers, blues and folk together hand in hand at a huge party at the Tollwood Festival in Munich last week!

Williams, Orbit Culture, Dirt and Nakkeknækker tomorrow, and Vermilia and URNE on Sunday!
The Hickey Underworld is back! After a break of eight years, they are ready to slap you in the face once again with their quirky alternative rock music. We caught them at their show at Great Gigs in the Park in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium together with the space rock/psych punk of Penus and poetry reading from Johan Sebastiaan Stuer.
Tenacious D was in town with their “Spicy Meatball tour”, and of course we had to go and see what Jack Black and Kyle Gass had in store for us on this tour when they played at Vorst Nationaal in Belgium. Support came for the one man musical centipede Steel Beans.
Only a bit over a week until Tuska weekend is upon us! If you weren’t convinced yet you needed to go, here are 9 reasons we believe should be enough motivation! Going from a great line-up, to Tuska KVLT, and the biggest Tuska Expo ever, this is one for the books!
Journey with us to the ‘Death Folk Country’, the sophomore solo album from Dorthia Cottrell, the enigmatic lead singer from doomed heavy hitters Windhand. A bleak journey through a set of sparse, sombre songs that takes little inspiration from doom, but all the more from folk and country. Out via Relapse Records.
