Tuska Sunday always feels a bit different. More relaxed, a little bittersweet, but no less memorable. We wrapped up the weekend with Kim Dracula, Whitechapel, Motionless In White, Nothing More, Noiduin and a stunning headline performance by Lorna Shore. Read our final festival report now.
Visual kei madness, Viking dance parties, massive circle pits and a werewolf-led headline spectacle. Day 2 of Tuska 2025 had no shortage of highlights. Read our full report featuring JILUKA, Orbit Culture, Eihwar, Slaughter to Prevail, The Halo Effect, thrown and Powerwolf.
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!
Heilung is always such an impressive experience, more than just another concert, it’s a ritual every time leaving us energized and exhalted by the flow of energy radiating from this collective. We really didn’t want to miss out on their last tour for awhile and caught them at their very first stop in Helsinki! They brought their good friend Eivør with them to warm up the crowd with her spellbinding voice and music, which is such a darn good match always!
Sowulo breathes new life into the tracks ‘Yule’ and ‘Ginnungagap’ with revisited releases out via Season of Mist right now!
