Halloween might be just another Tuesday for Scarlet… or perhaps it’s their busiest time of the year! 🎃 We caught up with the Swedish duo in Helsinki to talk music, visuals, their mission and all things spooky.
Interviews
We caught up with Belgian metalcore band Hope Erodes after their Alcatraz Festival set, which was a milestone in their careers, to talk about their music, channeling some heavy emotions and having fun on stage.
More time to experiment, more live energy, same old goofiness. We caught up with Turmion Kätilöt’s Saku “Shag-U” Solin and Hannu “Master Bates” Voutilainen to talk about their new album ‘Resodance’ (out tomorrow with Nuclear Blast) and the upcoming monumental “Colossal Disco” show happening in Helsinki this Saturday!
We caught up with Fear Factory’s Dino Cazares in Helsinki to talk about the new single “Roboticist”, AI, the start of the band’s new chapter with new music on the horizon and the return of some deep cuts to the live set.
Finnish forests, darker folklore and music that refuses to stay in one genre. We talked with Kallomäki at Tuska this past summer about their sound, their live rituals and the road ahead. Catch them live tonight at the first night of “Pagan Weekend” at On The Rocks if you’re in Helsinki!
Moon Shot returned with ‘Thunderlust’ last month (out via Reaper Entertainment), an album shaped by experience, collaboration and a willingness to embrace vulnerability. We caught up with Jussi and Ville to discuss the songwriting process, finding the balance between instinct and perfection, and bringing the new songs to the stage.
Catch them live this Friday at Tavastia in Helsinki and Germany this and next month!
A couple of decades after reviewing their debut full-length, we finally sat down with Belgian death/thrash outfit Poseydon while we were both at this year’s Alcatraz Festival to have a chat about the band, music and more!
A month after the first-ever Ankea Festival, we sat down with Sami Silvennoinen of Nahka Agency and Ankea Festival to look back at what actually happened once the gates opened.
From the surprisingly smooth festival operation and artists hanging around to watch each other, to the unforgettable moment Sami ended up watching Sylvaine with Bruce Soord, the unexpectedly busy coffee queues, the no-overlap philosophy and the plans already taking shape for 2027 — this is Ankea from the perspective of someone who finally has time to stop and breathe.
We sat down with Brymir’s Jarkko and Viktor just before the first show of the What We Leave Behind Tour 2026 to talk about the long road behind the new album, its darker themes, mythology, cinematic songwriting and what it means to finally start playing these songs live. And of course how they got to adding their take on ‘How Much Is The Fish’ to this release…
We’ve watched Imminence evolve from smaller stages and support slots into a band capable of creating a completely immersive world on a festival stage. At Alcatraz Festival this summer, we sat down with Eddie Berg and Harald to talk about that evolution, the new chapter with Sumerian Records, the increasingly ambitious world of ‘Axis Mundi’ (out October 2nd), and why the music itself always has to remain the foundation.
