Day one of Tuhdimmat Tahdit in it’s all renewed version gave us Kotiteollisuus, Marko Hietala, Lost Society, Stratovarius, Mokoma, Stam1na and Amorphis. What a great festival that we sure will return to again in the future.
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…

Recorded in a contemporary art gallery, Hanging Garden reinvented their signature gothic doom sound into a dreamy, ethereal type of shoegaze on this outstanding live EP ‘Citylight Sessions’, out on Agonia Records this should appeal to both longtime followers of the band and fans of later day Katatonia or even The Gathering.

For more than 40 years, AGNOSTIC FRONT brings the finest New York Hardcore to the concert hall stages and festivals around the globe. Europe and its loyal NY HC fan base is a reason to tour annually. This summer they hit European venues on their ‘Urban Decay Tour 2024’. With the opening date being a totally sold-out gig at Café Central in Weinheim, Germany. Turning every venue into a constant circle-pit and sweaty moshing area, the NYHC veterans excite the audiences of all ages. A band not to be missed out on whenever they come to a venue close to you!
