By Norse Music is glad to announce the re-signing of Kalandra, keeping them in the family and collaborating on their upcoming new album!

Blood Incantation’s latest album ‘Absolute Elsewhere’ has been heralded by many as the greatest extreme metal record of 2024. And quite justly so. Therefore, one should not pass up the opportunity to witness their cosmic magic with your own eyes and ears. Unsurprisingly, the gig at the Trix has been sold out for months already. With other acts Black Curse, Concrete Winds and Minami Deutsch it was truly an amazing night!

Dutch proggy rockers Traversus are releasing their new EP ‘Navigate’ later this year and shared a first taste with ‘Maybe In Another Life’!

Finnish 70s death prog outfit Octoploid recently launched ‘Siren’s Lament’ single to kick off their Finnish tour in style! If you can’t catch them live the coming months, you’ll have another shot at it at this year’s Tuska Festival!

Dutch prog-psych spearheads Temple Fang are releasing their new album ‘Lifted from the Wind’ via Stickman Records on April 25th and have recently shared the video single ‘The Radiant’. Get read for some old school rock ‘n’ roll!

The twenty-fourth studio album “Curious Ruminant” from Britain’s progressive folk rock band Jethro Tull captures the 70s heritage, achieving a brilliant level of performance instrumental dexterity. Out via InsideOutMusic since today!

Finnish outfit Royal Sorrow unveiled a mesmerizing and infectious new single and video with ‘Evergreen’, out via Inside Out Music! Catch the band live at Tuska Festival this summer!

Every year we like to look back at the amazing shows we captured, and in 2024 Anna/ScarletMemory Photography covered bands like Vola, Apulanta, Marko Hietala, Cyan Kicks, Stam1na, Kotiteollisuus, Blind Channel, Cyhra, Sigh, Everwave, Sonata Arctica, Neonfly, Altamullan Road, Avatar, Raskasta Joulua, Beatrix, Battle Beast, Steve ‘n’ Seagulls, Áilu Valle, Amoc and Trio Boogiemen mostly in Tampere, Finland!

ENTER SHIKARI gave a solid proof why they are among the UK top alternative acts with their blend of metal and electronic sounds. They brought an energy loaded live performance with stunning visuals, lights, and sound to Stuttgart’s ‘Im Wizemann’ last December. Musically, providing a cross-section of their musical evolution and craftsmanship, enlightening a fully packed venue. Support was given by locals WAIT OF THE WORLD.

On the back of the release of their latest album ‘Friend of a Phantom’, VOLA embarked on an extensive European tour and dropped by Vanha Ylioppilastalo in Helsinki, Finland in November to repeat the amazing performance they had at Tuska this past summer! With them, they brought the ever enchanting Charlotte Wessels and Feather Mountains. An event by TuskaLive.
