Who says festival season ends with summer? In Finland, the dark months come alive with music: experience the true punk spirit at HKI SKEPU FEST (starting tonight), get in touch with your ancestors and nature at Pakanafestarit, discover new talent at Lost In Music, embrace the shadows at Hellsinki Industrial Festival, sail into chaos with the Hellsinki Metal Cruise, sink into sorrow at Melancholy Mass Festivals, and feel the fire indoors at John Smith Rock Frozen. When the nights are long, Finland turns the volume up.

Friday night at Black Hawk MC’s Choppershow weekend in Belgium was all about live music, and especially local bands with Poseydon, popular cover band Impact, and most of all Hexa Mera hitting the stage with a farewell show. Their powerful set hit especially hard, knowing the band is stepping away after 15 years: a bittersweet but fitting send-off for a group that’s been so important to our scene and community.
