Finnish black metal innovators …and Oceans and Swedish black metal icons Mörk Gryning announced their co-headlining “European Regeneration MMXXV” tour for December, also bringing along Angstskríg as support! You won’t want to miss out on this one!

Tolminator is already a quite unique and exceptional experience on its own, but they always seem to keep a keen eye on the scenes of different countries and know to pic some of the most promising acts for their line-ups. And this year, we get to welcome our friends of Marche Funèbre, Mordkaul and Brutal Sphincter to be part of the “Belgian Invasion”, but also 2 stellar acts from Finland with melodeath icons Omnium Gatherum and psychedelic black metal collective Oranssi Pazuzu!

In less than a week, Tuska weekend is upon us! If somehow you weren’t convinced yet that you need to go, here are 10 reasons we believe should be enough motivation to still get a ticket and join us there!
