After three years of postponing the goth legends, The Mission finally took over Tavastia in Helsinki on a Monday evening. The last time they graced the Finnish crowd with their melancholic music was exactly 33 years ago in 1990! Thanks to Live Nation Finland to finally bring them back!
The Mission brought The Crescent York to a steaming point with their double set, almost reducing our photographer to a puddle of sweat. Luckily before succumbing under the heat he managed to take a few snapshots of the memorable night!

Album Reviews
Host’s debut release ‘IX’ is a very catchy album and has multiple complex textures and dark gothic themes as you will find yourself sprawling on the ground with sedatives. Nick Holmes & Gregor Mackintosh take a dark direction toward the electro gothic synth/rock music that is fully of catchy choruses and lush electronic textures. Released February 24 via Nuclear Blast Records.
