Hexvessel turned, with the support of Unfyros, Kuudes Linja in Helsinki into a magically doomy place filled with smoke, and darkness.
Pictures of Imperial Triumphant, Electric Callboy and Urne on the third day of Tuska 2023.
On the third day of Rockfest 2023, we weren’t able to capture as many bands as on the earlier days due to other responsibilities and some artists not wanting any pictures to be taken, but we still caught killer performances on the Red Stage by Soundi by Igorrr, The Hellacopters and Beast In Black!
The second day of Steelfest XI delivered another serving of proper dark underground and extreme metal on the indoors stage with performances from Gravespawn, Ymir, Infernal, Totalselfhatred, Ride For Revenge, Gehenna and Carpathian Forest!
Igorrr returned to the Finnish shores with their “Distortion European Tour”, joined by Amenra and Der Weg Einer Freiheit, bringing not only a musical treat, but also a visual feast to the Pakkahuone venue in Tampere!
Pictures of a crazy show by Imperial Triumphant and Devenial Verdict at On The Rocks in Helsinki, Finland!
Igorrr finally landed with his circus of madness on the Finnish shores and simply blew everyone there away! Simply memorable!
Lists
While it’s a given that as a metalfan you’ll want to catch shows of Dimmu Borgir and Kerry King today at the first day of Tuska, we think that there are a couple more bands that deserve some of your attention, or that we think will be even more epic to see live than you might suspect with editorial picks Lord of the Lost’s festival opening show, I Am The Night, Infected Rain, Krypta, Suburban Tribe, Assemble The Chariots, Zeal & Ardor and Pendulum!
