Another band that impressed us highly earlier this summer when they played at Tuska, is the German metalcore outfit Annisokay! They just recently unleashed a new video single with ‘Get Your Sh!t Together’, out via Arising Empire, and will be roaming through Europe as support for Within Temptation later this year!
After blowing us away with their show at Tuska earlier this summer, we can’t help but be really excited about the news that Make Them Suffer is releasing a new self-titled album via Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records later this year still! They announced it a couple of weeks ago and with the announcement came the new single ‘Oscillator’, which has been played quite a few times here, what a banger!
Swedish metal vikings Brothers Of Metal revealed with ‘Heavy Metal Viking’ the first song from their upcoming new album ‘Fimbulvinter’, set for release in November via AFM Records! For a proper viking party, catch them this summer at a small selection of European festivals like Tuska this weekend, or on tour through Europe after the release of their album!
Zeal & Ardor share ‘Fend You Off visualizer, another track from their upcoming 4th album ‘GREIF’, set for release in August! Catch them this weekend at Tuska, this will be a show you won’t want to miss!
Solence unleashed the brand new track ‘A Banger A Day Keeps The Doctor Away’ via Better Noise Music with a hilarious video! Catch them at Graspop in Belgium this weekend or next week at Tuska in Finland!
Norway’s rising stars in metalcore Fixation released the new single ‘Random Acts Of Violence’ via Indie Recordings last week, while they’re gearing up to embark on their summer tour which will take them to Tuska in Finland next week!
Gearing up for a busy summer touring schedule that will bring them to for instance Tuska next week, Infected Rain present a new music video for the track ‘PANDEMONIUM’ from their latest album ‘TIME’, released earlier this year via Napalm Records!
Finnish metal outfit SulfuriS will be performing at Tuska 2024, and released their new single ‘Shatterpoint’ last week! Catch their show if you’re going to the festival and be on the look for their upcoming album ‘CORPUS//ANIMUS’, set for release in August via Inverse Records!

What bands are you happy with this time? And what bands are you still hoping for?
At Tuska 2024, we had a quick chat with Lotta from Luna Kills about their first ever show at the festival, how they’ve been doing since we last talked a couple of years ago, their first tour outside of Finland in support of Dear Mother and hints at what’s next…
We sat down with Jessie and Eleni of Ankor after their show at this year’s Tuska Festival, the last stop of a crazy weekend that took them to 3 different countries in 3 days, and had a short chat about their busy summer, the way they like to release new music and how 2024 really seems to be a big year for the band.
Yesterday, they announced a major European tour for 2025 which will take them to most countries of the continent. You won’t want to miss out on that, tickets are available starting tomorrow!
We sat down with Onni and Kevin from Assemble the Chariots at Tuska 2024 to talk about their new album ‘Unyielding Night’ (set for release on July 19th via Seek and Strike), how this is the start of a whole universe they’re creating, with the sound they’ve always envisioned for the band from the beginning. And we came back from the talk with 2 things ingrained in our heads: listen to the album from start to finish, and make sure you make it to the release show at On The Rocks in Helsinki where they’ll play the album in its whole for what sounds like a unique experience…
The second day of Tuska 2024 will get at least as exciting as the day before, we highly recommend you don’t sit out on the shows of Ankor, VOLA, Solence, St. Aurora, Make Them Suffer, I Am Your God, Bring Me The Horizon and The Abbey!
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!
In the beginning of last week, a sold out On The Rocks in Helsinki truly got warmed up for the upcoming Tuska Festival when the legendary Suburban Tribe played their first show in over 13 years! If you’re at Tuska today, they are a must-see… see you at the Radio City Stage by 19:15!
