Metalcore institution Unearth is back with some melodic and brutal core tunes on their new album ‘The Wretched; The Ruinous’, released via Century Media Records!

If you are still looking for a great summer destination, here are 10 festivals that might make Finland the ideal place to go for you with #Horizon23, Rockfest, Tuhdimmat Tahdit, Nummirock, Tuska, John Smith Festival, SaariHelvetti, Dark River Festival, Hellsinki Metal Festival and Flow Festival!

An evening full of fun, for young and old, with one of Belgium’s best and most popular metal bands of the past 3 decades: Channel Zero; with support from Temptations for the Weak.

The ever popular Swedish metalcore outfit Imminence came to blow us away at a completely sold out On The Rocks in Helsinki, with the help of the energy bomb that is Blood Command to set things off!

Unearth is touring through the US, presenting their recently released album on the “The Wretched; The Ruinous album release tour”, and we caught them and Upon A Burning Body at their stop in Seattle last weekend!

Invent Animate’s new and 4th album ‘Heavener’ is ready to break all the bones in your body and proves that they’re ready for the big leagues with their new and improved sound. Released via UNFD!

The tenth opus “Terrasite” in Cattle Decapitation’s catalog focuses on the slower melodic trademarks without sacrificing its sonic brutality. This is another high-quality output from these progressive death metal/grindcore maniacs, and I will not be surprised to see it on fans’ top albums of the year. Out via Metal Blade Records!

Pupil Slicer released their 3rd and final single ‘Momentary Actuality’ before the official release of their new album ‘Blossom’, set for release next month via Prosthetic Records!

As the festival summer is quickly approaching, May sees many great releases yet again. Our team of writers put together a nice selection of those they are looking forward to the most this month with Deathstars, Cattle Decapitation, Veil Of Maya, The Dark Side Of The Moon, Ghost, Thulcandra, Frozen Soul, Sleep Token, Henget, Vomitory, Immortal, Kalmah and Legion Of The Damned!

Back in March, Electric Callboy set down one of the parties of the year at Vanha Ylioppilastalo in Helsinki, and did it 2 nights in a row in front of a completely sold out room. We can hardly wait to see these guys kill it again at Tuska Festival and at their headline position at Alcatraz this festival summer! Support came of course of the band to watch, Future Palace!
