Day 3 at Tolminator had it all, chaos, doom, filth, and ritual. Insanity Alert, Ahab, Dopethrone, Wolfbrigade, and Rotting Christ tore up the main stage!
Tolminator isn’t just about the bands. It’s about the people who make it unforgettable. This year, our team (with trainee Nox and resident photographer Tom) captured the heart and soul of the festival: the faces, the chaos, the calm by the Soča river. Check out our photo gallery celebrating the spirit of Tolminator 2025!
The Obscure and Octagon stages delivered some of the most intense sets of Day 1 at Brutal Assault 2025. From the triumphant return of 3 Inches of Blood to the symphonic fury of Fleshgod Apocalypse, the crushing weight of Inter Arma, the haunting doom of Frayle, the occult darkness of Ruïm, and the mind-bending chaos of Oranssi Pazuzu, it was truely a journey through the extremes of heavy music!
Day 1 of Brutal Assault 2025 set the tone right away with a good mix of legends and crushing heaviness. From the epic Viking soundscapes of Skálmöld to the industrial grooves of Static-X, the unrelenting brutality of Dying Fetus, the thrash assault of Kerry King, and the dark rituals of Rotting Christ, the Marshall and Sea Shepherd stages started off the festival properly.
Sun, sweat, and steel… Rockfest 2025 opened in style in Turku. H.E.A.T. brought the fire, Sepultura gave Finland their final bow, and Judas Priest proved once more why they’re the Metal Gods.

Nahka Agency brought a great blend of Finnish metal to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema on Friday May 16th with Amoral, Shade Empire and Voidfallen. Unfortunately the turn up wasn’t anywhere near to as much as it should have been for such a night of quality metal music.
In mid-May, Ääniwalli became a vortex of technical brutality and progressive intensity as Born of Osiris brought their tour to Helsinki.

Pictures of an occult night in Helsinki with “The Unholy Trinity tour” striking down and taking over the Ice Halls. And with Behemoth, Satyricon and Rotting Christ we got from the top shelf of extreme metal!
