Lists
It’s finally there! The week of the very first edition of Ankea Festival! If you’re still somehow on the fence on why you should get yourself a ticket and come join us in Tampere this weekend, here are 8 reasons that hopefully will convince you!
While it’s a given that as a metalfan you’ll want to catch shows of Dimmu Borgir and Kerry King today at the first day of Tuska, we think that there are a couple more bands that deserve some of your attention, or that we think will be even more epic to see live than you might suspect with editorial picks Lord of the Lost’s festival opening show, I Am The Night, Infected Rain, Krypta, Suburban Tribe, Assemble The Chariots, Zeal & Ardor and Pendulum!
Interviews
Rioghan turned their new EP ‘Frozen’ into one continuous emotional journey and preparing their most ambitious live show yet for Ankea Festival. We sat down with the band to talk storytelling, visual art, Finnish metal identity and why music should always make you feel something.
