Motionless In White came back to Finland back in February for their 2nd show ever in the country and brought out quite some people, filling up Helsinki’s Ice Halls nicely. And with Fit For A King to warm us up, it was an epic night! Next up: MiW’s show at Tuska Festival this summer, we’re hoping to see an epic show with some more of their usual theatrics live!
The Convalescence stirred things up with a healthy serving of deathcore on a Sunday night at Piere’s in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and the help of support Mantra of Morta, Nailed Casket and Discard the Body!
A couple of weeks ago, MOTIONLESS IN WHITE took over LKA Longhorn in Stuttgart, Germany on their ‘Touring the End of the World’ tour. They brought along Canadian deathcore stars BRAND OF SACRIFICE and Texan ensemble FIT FOR A KING. The venue filled to the absolute max got a fantastic US stage production in the beloved club atmosphere. An early big concert highlight in 2025! Still on tour, we can’t wait to welcome them at Helsinki Jäähalli in Finland this Tuesday!

Pictures of day 1 of 2024’s Helsinki Techfest with headliners Distant, Assemble the Chariots, Enemies Everywhere, Pridian and Chronoform.
This past summer, Assemble The Chariots released a monumentally epic debut full-length album, a concept album that is the first chapter of a massive world they’re building. And there was only one way to properly celebrate this: by having a release show, playing the album from start to finish live as it’s intended to be listened to. And with the addition of supporting guests acts IA and Lightbearer, it was truly a mind-bending night to remember for a long time! If you want to catch Assemble the Chariots live, this weekend is your shot with their show at Helsinki Techfest this Friday and their first ever arena show with Lost Society in Järvenpää this Saturday!
Earlier this year, 3 excellent Belgian bands rocked our venue Asgaard with their music. One for one bands you should check out, with hardcore/deathcore from Despite Us, modern metal from Noord and pummeling death metal from Catharsis! An event presented to us by Fly Productions!

Brutal deathcore mixed with the classical influences that has been their trademark since the beginning together with the strong voice of Ben Duerr, Shadow Of Intent is building their own masterpieces.
‘Oh What The Future Holds’ brings a more sophisticated side of the deathcore genre. Never I had the thought that it was boring or bad. Every song has it’s unique stamp of pure greatness.
Whitechapel has made the album they always wanted to make and they finally found what they we’re looking for.
