Opeth present an official performance video for ‘§1’, while “The Last Will And Testament World Tour” continues with a series of European festivals like John Smith Rock Festival and Brutal Assault, a 2nd European leg in Fall, and Australia, New Zealand and Japan in November!

Impureza are not stopping the Flamenco-death train anytime soon with the release of new single ‘La Orden del Yelmo Negro’, in anticipation of their upcoming album ‘Alcázares’, out in July via Season of Mist!

Amorphis announced to be releasing their 15th studio album ‘Borderland’ via Reigning Phoenix Music in September, just in time for their European tour with Arch Enemy, Eluveitie and Gatecreeper, and Finnish headline tour!

Progressive death metal project Changeling release an animated video for the track ‘World? What World?’, a track from their recently with Season of Mist released album of which the Dolby Atmos version is scheduled for release at the end of the week!

In mid-May, Ääniwalli became a vortex of technical brutality and progressive intensity as Born of Osiris brought their tour to Helsinki. With support from death metal and deathcore juggernauts Ingested, the genre-bending Entheos, and Portugal’s The Voynich Code, the night unfolded as a showcase of modern metal’s most forward-pushing acts.

German progressive death metal masters Obscura announced the third leg of their ‘A Sonication World Tour’, returning to South and Eastern Europe this September!

Blood Incantation’s latest album ‘Absolute Elsewhere’ has been heralded by many as the greatest extreme metal record of 2024. And quite justly so. Therefore, one should not pass up the opportunity to witness their cosmic magic with your own eyes and ears. Unsurprisingly, the gig at the Trix has been sold out for months already. With other acts Black Curse, Concrete Winds and Minami Deutsch it was truly an amazing night!

Rivers of Nihil took over Tavastia in Helsinki a couple of months ago and absolutely blew our minds at the end of our weekend back then with the help of Cynic, Beyond Creation and Dååth!

Rivers Of Nihil brought quite the intensity to Europe earlier this year with their “Aggressive Progressive Tour’, including Cynic, Beyond Creation and Dååth. We caught their show at the legendary Tavastia venue in Helsinki, Finland and saw it was good! Looking forward to seeing Rivers Of Nihil again this summer during the Europe festival season with shows at Brutal Assault, Alcatraz and more!

Opeth released an absolutely brilliant new album with ‘The Last Will And Testament’ last year, and now they brought it to the stage all over Europe. And we in Helsinki were honored to be the first stop of the tour back in February, getting a first taste of their new work live. And with Grand Magus to warm us up, this was a brilliant night for the (metal) music lovers among us! An event by Fullsteam Agency
