It was good to be back out and about! After several years of no gigs, this concert in the Brewer’s Street of the big (and cold) Helsinki Jäähalli venue marked the first one for our photographer Vaim Hull and yours truly to reunite. With the ice skating rink right next to the part of the building we were, that at least explains the cold draft we regularly noticed inside. For me personally it was the first time being here, but I was excited as it was my first gig since pre-corona times. On the menu: Atlas, Port Noir and main act VOLA, all acts that were pretty much unfamiliar to me until shortly before this night. Let’s go!

Another one of those packages that got delayed time after time again due to the pandemic… Bloodred Hourglass was supposed to play in Helsinki with MyGrain, Oceanhoarse and Balance Breach for a couple of years and now finally is the time! Oceanhoarse had to drop out still after all, but got replaced by the doomsters of Marianas Rest, completely a really solid line-up of up-and-coming greats of the Finnish metal scene! Place to be was Vanha ylioppilastalo (or the “old students’ house”), a fancy old building in the center of Helsinki that hasn’t really been the home for metal shows before. And here is how the night went…

The Norwegian misfits of Kvelertak were supposed to go on tour in support of their latest release ‘Splid’ back in 2020, but like we all know, the pandemic intervened quite a bit. And it seems they didn’t get rid of that curse completely yet, because they had to postpone most of their 2022 European tour again. Luckily they managed to keep their Nordic dates and even more lucky for us, that included their stops in Finland. So finally we were able to catch this powder keg of a band live on the legendary Tavastia stage in Helsinki!

It was our lucky night!! Why were we lucky you might ask? It was Saint Paddy’s Day 2022 and we were headed to The King of Clubs in Columbus, Ohio. The five band bash was featuring Nonpoint, a rock band that originated in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1997. The doors were set to open at 6:30 with the first band hitting the stage at 7:00pm.We pulled into the parking lot at 6:30 and headed straight to the doors. We were welcomed at the entrance of the club by security and ushered to the front of the line for our press passes. We were so excited as this was our first visit to the venue as it opened just one year ago. We walked into an open floor with an elevated stage that had a balcony wrapped around the backside. The place looked amazing and the environment was heating up with the DJ rocking out as the first set prepared to start. From the time we walked into the venue and until we left, we were treated wonderfully and given excellent service by the entire team at The King of Clubs. From security, to the bartenders, the stage crew, the entire operation is run like a finely oiled machine.
