While being at Helsinki Techfest for their very first show outside Estonia, we met up with the metal band Pridian to talk about an excellent 2024 with some bucketlist shows, but also the major news that they are signed to the Century Media Records roster for their upcoming album!
We met up with Dante, Gian and Pavel from the Mexican metal outfit Anima Tempo while they were in Finland and talked about their present European tour, which also will take them to our own venue Asgaard in Belgium, their unique take on their music, trying to find some new approaches every time both in recordings and live, how they love the energy from the European crowds and what they’re working on of new music and concept!
We sat down with Kriss and Aaron of Starbenders right before their headline show at On The Rocks in Helsinki, Finland to talk about their present European tour, their road and struggles of the past decade to get where they are right now and things to be looking forward to, like their brand-new single coming out this Thursday, September 26 with Sumerian Records!
We sat down with Jessie and Eleni of Ankor after their show at this year’s Tuska Festival, the last stop of a crazy weekend that took them to 3 different countries in 3 days, and had a short chat about their busy summer, the way they like to release new music and how 2024 really seems to be a big year for the band.
Yesterday, they announced a major European tour for 2025 which will take them to most countries of the continent. You won’t want to miss out on that, tickets are available starting tomorrow!
We sat down with TJ Taylor, drummer of SOiL, when they dropped by in Fort Wayne, IN back in March on the “Back to the 2000s Tour”, to reminiscence about the glory years of nu metal, touring and what it’s like to get back on that stage every time!
We sat down with vocalist Sini and guitarist Joni from Crimson Sun to talk about their new album ‘Sorrowbreaker’, out today, and how they did things a bit differently, resulting in a “lighter” album in the sense of somewhat breaking with the sorrow and shining a bright light, encouraging you to stop and enjoy life! Be sure to check out this great new album if you’re looking for some nice melodic heavy metal with a modern touch!
We had a chat with Jussi and Pasi from Where’s My Bible about their latest album ‘Kave’ (out now via Inverse Records) and the new direction they took their music and lyrics with this one, adding new instruments, vibes, vocal delivery and themes into a new chapter for the band!
Catch them live tonight at On The Rocks in Helsinki as support for the anniversary show of …and Oceans!
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, we met up with Mikko and Juho of Valkeat shortly before the release of their 2nd full-length album ‘Fireborn’ (released via Reaper Entertainment) to talk about how things came together and how they have a mission to create modern folk metal incorporating the kantele and being inspired by Finnish legends and poetry.
A chat with Alicia Vigil, bassist for Dragonforce, about the massive European tour they’re on right now and the new album ‘Warp Speed Warriors’, which is being released tomorrow via Napalm Records!
