Sun, sweat, and steel… Rockfest 2025 opened in style in Turku. H.E.A.T. brought the fire, Sepultura gave Finland their final bow, and Judas Priest proved once more why they’re the Metal Gods.
Moon Shot, RØRY, and Stam1na took over Rockfest’s Red Stage and Black Stage with unforgettable performances, and we captured it all.
Tampa, Florida’s metal maniacs Cold Steel signed to Spinefarm Records and introduced the world to their signature brand of aggressive metal with the single ‘Blacksmith of Damnation’!
