Day 2 of Tuhdimmat Tahdit was just as hot. Carnival Academy, Heavy Metal Perse, Antony Parviainen Trio, Turmion Kätilöt, Metalite, Wolfheart, Shereign, Before the Dawn, Brymir, Mokoma, Swallow the Sun and lastly Battle Beast. Master Events gave us a festival that is certainly worth coming back to.
Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events brought one very hot festival to Tampere’s Ratinanniemi. It started with Verikalpa and ended with Beast in Black, but we also can’t forget about all the bands in between: Transworld Identity, Prestige, Ensiferum, Bloodred Hourglass, Dynazty, Lordi, Mors Subita, Dead by April and Diablo.
The French band Aephanemer dropped by On The Rocks in Helsinki to turn the heat up and make a pretty much crammed venue go wild to their symphonic/melodic death metal tunes! Support came from locals Numento.
The outdoor stage on the 2nd day of Steelfest XI was the place for explosive and often high velocity performances by Tsatthoggua, Sex Messiah, Grenadier, Witchtrap, Kalmankantaja and Behexen!
The Black Dahlia Murder is touring the US right now, and we were lucky enough to catch them, and Terror, at The Neptune Theater in Seattle last week for what turned out being a very memorable night!
We got to enjoy yet another show of Brymir and Kaunis Kuolematon a couple of Friday’s ago at Tampere’s YO-Talo. An event was organized by Nem Agency and Master Events.
The biggest Metal Circus on the planet came through Munich and did some damage. The Swedish Avatar are tricky, and brought with them Veil of Maya and Kassogtha for a banger of a show at the Neue Theaterfabrik!
Insomnium came, saw and conquered at their ‘Anno 1696’ release shows at a sold out Tavastia, and so did The Abbey with their captivating doom music!
