A visual journey through the musical performances on the big stage at Pakanafestarit 2025 featuring The Gallow’s Dance, Ilkka Heinonen, Värttinä, Kallomäki, Havukruunu, and Ínkar. From tradition and ritual to overwhelming intensity, these moments capture the powerful musical heart of the festival.
Music shaped by land, tradition, and community. Väen Valkeat main stage featuring Okra Playground, Kallomäki, Kjell Braaten & Noiduin.
Atmosphere, emotion, and legendary music filled the Hellsinki 03 stage on Day 2 of Hellsinki Metal Festival 2025. Check out our latest photo gallery featuring Alfahanne, Cult of Luna, Me and That Man, and Blood Fire Death – A Tribute to Quorthon and the Music of Bathory! 📸🤘
Rituals at Tuska. Eihwar and Noiduin brought pagan and Nordic folk energy to the KVLT Stage during Tuska 2025.
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!

Interviews
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!

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.
