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.
Music, community, and fire. Village Stage performances by Trio Krauka and Kajos, and a fire ritual from Blackout Fools at Väen Valkeat 2025.
Music shaped by land, tradition, and community. Väen Valkeat main stage featuring Okra Playground, Kallomäki, Kjell Braaten & Noiduin.
Nordic folk artist Danheim is returning with new album ‘Heimferd’, out with Season of Mist next month, revealing ancestral soundscapes as we know to expect from him!
The second edition of our very own ‘Litha Fest’ festival brought performances of Hexacurse, Blod Dyr, Serpents Oath, Vanaheim, Prima Nocta and Arkona to the main stage about a month ago!
Sowulo converses with death on the new single ‘Sōl ond Māni’, out now and another track unveiled of the upcoming album NIHT, out at the end of August via Season of Mist!
Renowned Faroese artist Eivør signed to Nuclear Blast for a thrilling new chapter in her career. And she unveiled a trailer for the upcoming European headline tour with special guest Ásgeir and support from Elinborg that starts in September!
Rituals at Tuska. Eihwar and Noiduin brought pagan and Nordic folk energy to the KVLT Stage during Tuska 2025.
At Tuska this year, we sat down with Jemina and Henri from the Finnish dark folk act Noiduin to talk about how they channel their own country’s folklore, pagan history and ancestors in their music and performances, how tricky it can be to work with traditional, self-build instruments and how they hope people can connect with something deep inside themselves when listening to their music.
Busy times ahead for the shamanic techno vikings of Eihwar with newly announced shows in support of The Hu’s shows in Germany and France starting next week, and stops at many European festivals this summer like Tuska, Castlefest, Wacken and Midgardsblot among many others! Don’t miss out on this!
