Brymir and Master Events put up yet another great show, this time at Torvi, Lahti in Finland. This show won us over with its close, intimate and sweaty atmosphere.

Battle Beast turned Tamperes Pakkahuone into a circus when they came to town for their ‘The Circus is coming to Town’ tour. They also brought along One Desire, and together they delivered an evening packed of good music (and people). A production by Master Events.

Battle Beast showed what a great heavy metal show is like at Jäähalli Helsinki a good week ago with the support of their special guests Ensiferum and Kiuas! A production by Master Events.

A massive celebration of Turmion Kätilöt’s carreer of several decades long at Helsinki’s Black Box Jäähalli with support from Lord Of The Lost and Proteus!

At the end of December, we managed to catch the shows of Shereign, Dirt and of course Oceanhoarse at the second edition of Hoarsefest at On The Rocks in Helsinki!

After years of waiting Pain finally made it back to Finland! We made it to their show at Olympia-Kortteli in Tampere, organised by Nem Agency. Finnish modern metallers Detset also did a great job as their support.

Blind Channel’s biggest show to date was a visual spectacle and everything they’ve worked towards for all these years! With support from Arttu Lindeman, it was a great way to wrap up an amazing year.

A look back at the energetic shows from Normandie, Balance Breach and Delta Enigma at On The Rocks back in December!

One from the archives… back in October we attended to the “Come To Latin America” showcase where competition winner Where’s My Bible and one of the runner ups Luna Kills brought us a night of some good live music at On The Rocks in Helsinki, showing yet again what kind of goodies Finland has to offer musically!
