Nashville symphonic power metal band Valkyrie’s Fire signed a worldwide deal with Eclipse Records and are set to release their debut EP ‘Ascension’ in November!

The popular US horror movie inspired metalcore outfit Ice Nine Kills came to Munich and, helped by From Fall to Spring and Ghost Kid, left a trail of blood in the TonHalle.

Crimson Veil continue to captivate with their unique take on alternative metal with the new video single ‘Shift’, one of the catchiest tunes from their debut album ‘Hex’, which is set for release in September via Reigning Phoeniz Music!

Parfaxitas’ debut album ‘Weaver of the Black Moon’ invokes sinister entities from dimensions unseen. This is grandeur black metal that offers ominous atmosphere and many frightening moments. Out via Terratur Possessions.

After recently signing with Reigning Phoenix Music, modern metal outfit Enemy Inside released their new single ‘What We Used To Be’! Catch them next weekend at Qstock in Finland or on their European tour early 2025!

Tuhdimmat Tahdit’s second day with Brother Firetribe, Tarot, Huora, Klamydia, Suburban Tribe, Sonata Arctica and Apulanta was just as much fun as the first day!

Nocturnus AD returns with a new album ‘Unicursal’ drawing elements from thrash metal and technical death metal wrapped in bizarre cinematic symphonies of alien space. Out on Profound Lore Records.

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…

Another great night of the Coolhead Live concert series with metal icon Ihsahn, supported by some of the top of the Finnish scene with Before The Dawn, …and Oceans and Qwälen!
