Gig Reports

Back in March, Leprous dropped by Vanha Ylioppilastalo in Helsinki on their “Aphelion European Tour” and swept us away with a night of exceptional music, supported by Monuments and Kalandra.

Album Reviews

Meshuggah sounds groovier and more diverse than ever. The extreme tech-metal giants delivered with Immutable one of their more enjoyable albums.

Out of this world musicianship, a journey through musical subgenres delivered with a groovy sauce on top of it. Parrhesia of Animals As Leaders has it all.

The second EP of Held In Secret shows a lot of potential en mature lyrics. We will see more of these guys and hopefully an even bigger score.

With the unchained Macro, Jinjer defy any boundaries. It brings us a cocktail of how modern heavy progressive metal should sound like.

In need of some technically typically djent. These French dudes from Kadinja are bringing us some technically djent that can compete with their bigger brothers in the genre.

The pet project of Delain’s guitarist Merel Bechtold, Purest of Pain, finally releases its debut full-length!
