Finnish black metal outfit Curse Upon A Prayer shared the brand new single ‘Black Venus Erotica’ and are set to release their new album ‘THE VVORship: Orthoprax Satanism” in July!

Finnish metal outfit SulfuriS will be performing at Tuska 2024, and released their new single ‘Shatterpoint’ last week! Catch their show if you’re going to the festival and be on the look for their upcoming album ‘CORPUS//ANIMUS’, set for release in August via Inverse Records!

Operatic/symphonic black metal outfit Folterkammer’s sophomore album ‘Weibermacht’ has roots that are embedded in the European sound of 90s black metal. Out on Century Media.

The 14th studio album ‘Pro Xristou’ from the Greek black metal masters Rotting Christ is a grand testimony to the band’s creative skills and brings nostalgia to their loyal fans. Out via Season of Mist on May 24.

Symphonic black metal act Vesperian Sorrow is one of the fewer ones that doesn’t sound like any other U.S. black metal band. Their fifth studio album ‘Awaken the Greylight’ presents their modern symphonic clichés. Out on Black Lion Records.

Vended came to show that they’re their own entity, ready to push the metal scene into the next wave of popularity, with the help of The Gloom In The Corner and Profiler!

Blind Channel with support from Lastout and Costee filled up Tampere’s Nokia Arena pretty well on 27th of April for the one Finnish tour date this spring. An event by Extra Large Music and Warner Music Live, adding a massive arena show to wrap things up before they moved on to the USA.

While She Sleeps can make music speak, even with no lyrics. What they’ve accomplished again on their latest album ‘Self Hell’ is truly beautiful. Out via Spinefarm Records.
