It’s that time of the year again: The Finnish festival summer gets kicked off properly with the black metal festival Steelfest! The gathering of the wolves of the underground is easily a yearly homecoming for anyone who has a love for the extreme and obscure. And as always, the lineup is massive with an impressive list of 40 bands filled with cult bands, legends of the underground scene, and exclusive and rare performances. As usual, on the inside stage, you could find mostly acts that required a darker setting to create just right atmosphere and mood for their music to properly translate to a live setting with on day 1 headliner Gorgoroth, the first iteration of Horna with vocalist Nazgul, Antimateria, Commander Agares, Aegrus and Black Altar!
