Eye Of Melian, the Tolkien-inspired symphonic project founded by Martijn Westerholt (Delain) and featuring Johanna Kurkela (Auri) on vocals, has signed to Napalm Records for the release of their new album ‘Forest of Forgetting’ in February 2026! Shortly after, they’ll be touring through Finland with what promises to be a magical show!
We stepped into another realm with Auri’s first-ever concert in Helsinki at the end of August, a night of pure enchantment at the Huvila Park concert tent. Magical vocals, mesmerizing atmosphere, and one of 2025’s true live highlights, with support from Eye of Melian.
Back in August, Auri embarked on their very first tour, bringing the magic that is their music to Helsinki at the end of the month, with support from Eye of Melian, a night that didn’t leave anyone there untouched.
