It’s that time of the year again: The Finnish festival summer gets kicked off properly with the black metal festival Steelfest! The gathering of the wolves of the underground is easily a yearly homecoming for anyone who has a love for the extreme and obscure. And as always, the lineup is massive with an impressive list of 46 bands filled with cult bands, legends of the underground scene, and exclusive and rare performances.

We missed out on Licht Des Urteils and Marras, luckily there was more than enough interesting stuff to come and to fulfill our need for extreme and underground music with a massive show by headliners Mysticum, the 3rd appearance of Horna, this time in its present iteration with vocalist Spellgoth, Denial Of God, White Death, Diocletian, and Ifernach.
