Swedish melodeath masters Arch Enemy and Polish blackened metal occultists Behemoth are on their European Siege Tour 2022 with special guest Carcass and warm up act Unto Others. While last night they played a killer show at a sold-out Jäähalli in Helsinki, we caught the show earlier at their stop in the Netherlands!
Ultima Ratio Fest has been bringing a proper collection of metal bands around Europe with Moonspell, Insomnium, Borknagar, Wolfheart and Hinayana. Sadly it seemed the crowd was mostly asleep at this stop at Backstage Munich, regardless some great metal music was played this night!
Obscura proved yet again at Backstage Munich that metal can be complex and brutal at the same time with a bombshell of a show. Support came from Disillusion and Persefone.
On a Sunday autumn evening in Finland we saw total Polish death metal takeover of On The Rocks Helsinki with Vader, Hate and Thy Disease at on of the stops on the “Final Declaration Northern Tour 2022”! For a Sunday, there was quite the massacre unleashed in the pit!
Metal mastodons Gojira came, saw and conquered a sold out Jäähalli in Helsinki, Finland with their amazing music and killer visuals back in July, with support from Alien Weaponry and Employed To Serve!
Finally, after all the delays, we got a double serving of the Gojira at 013 Poppodium in Tilburg, Netherlands. With both shows being sold out, they were quite the explosive nights, especially with added to that support acts Alien Weaponry and Employed to Serve!
