Grilling season was figuratively and quite literally opened when The European Siege tour starring Unto Others, Carcass, Behemoth and Arch Enemy hit Jäähalli in Helsinki with their first sold out show of the tour.

Mantah

Ex-Spoil Engine’s guitarist Bart Vandeportaele’s new band Mantah released their first Album ‘Evoke’ with a release show in Club de B in Torhout, Belgium while (also ex-Spoil Engine) Iris’ new band Three Times Royal warms up the crowd right after opener Secondhand Saints!

The young Finnish melodeath act Swansong signed with Noble Demon, joining many stellar bands from their country! And celebrate by re-releasing their debut EP ‘Winter Maiden’!

Steelchaos day 2 was yet another spectacle, both musically and visually, with shows from Chevalier, Horna, Cadaveric Incubator, Torture Killer, Lord Fist and the epic “Black Metal” anniversary celebration by Venom Inc.!

Steelchaos day two was clearly the main day for many people as it clearly drew the biggest crowd with a fantastic lineup from old school heavy metal from Chevalier and Lord Fist to skull crushing death metal from Cadaveric Incubator and Torture Killer and to good ol’ Finnish black metal from Horna. And of course the much anticipated anniversary show by Venom Inc. celebrating the 40th anniversary of the classic ‘Black Metal’ album!

Steelchaos is always a fantastic event to get to take pictures at, especially with on day 1 shows from Satan’s Fall, Malicious, Flame, Barathrum, Belphegor and Sacramentum!

Steelchaos is back at full force and we were there! With Satan’s Fall, Malicious, Flame, Barathrum, Belphegor and Sacramentum it was a great first day of this year’s edition!

Swedish melodeath masters Arch Enemy and Polish blackened metal occultists Behemoth are on their European Siege Tour 2022 with special guest Carcass and warm up act Unto Others. While last night they played a killer show at a sold-out Jäähalli in Helsinki, we caught the show earlier at their stop in the Netherlands!

Machine Head and Amon Amarth are well on their way on their conquest of Europe with “The Vikings & Lionhearts Tour 2022”! This time we caught them in Vorst Nationaal, Brussels, of course again with warming up by The Halo Effect.

Master Events organised yet another great show of Brymir, with I Am Your God as support. We had a great time at Suisto Club for their first show in Hämeenlinna.
