Grilling season was figuratively and quite literally opened when The European Siege tour starring Unto Others, Carcass, Behemoth and Arch Enemy hit Jäähalli in Helsinki with their first sold out show of the tour.
Ex-Spoil Engine’s guitarist Bart Vandeportaele’s new band Mantah released their first Album ‘Evoke’ with a release show in Club de B in Torhout, Belgium while (also ex-Spoil Engine) Iris’ new band Three Times Royal warms up the crowd right after opener Secondhand Saints!
