Album Reviews

Even after 23 years Skepticism’s debut “Stormcrowfleet” still stands as a monolith of doom.

This just shows how powerful music is. This shows why music brings people together. Even though we don’t know what a person is saying, just listening to it and feeling it can spread the message.

Blue Eyed Sons is something you got to hear, with every new release I hear of them they get better…

The swansong of Alghazanth, a Finnish black metal band that has been around for decades…

One of this generation’s guitar virtuosi, Euge Valovirta, releases his first ever solo album for you to get your rock on!

Lordi is back and about to cum to your house for a little “sexorcism”…

Aeonian Sorrow brings us a cathartic, soul-crushing album where the boundaries of funeral doom are being pushed by the addition of splendid female vocals!

Finnish melodic death metal band Mors Subita is back again with their third full length. 11 crushing tracks that fans of the genre will definitely enjoy.

Finland’s most depressed band have returned, sending shivers down your spine and exploring new levels of intensity. A must-have for lovers of DSBM, blackgaze and atmospheric post-black metal!

Convocation exemplifies the ambient parts of Desolate Shrine more profoundly.

Tuhdimmat Tahdit’s second day with Brother Firetribe, Tarot, Huora, Klamydia, Suburban Tribe, Sonata Arctica and Apulanta was just as much fun as the first day!

Day one of Tuhdimmat Tahdit in it’s all renewed version gave us Kotiteollisuus, Marko Hietala, Lost Society, Stratovarius, Mokoma, Stam1na and Amorphis. What a great festival that we sure will return to again in the future.

Another great night of the Coolhead Live concert series with metal icon Ihsahn, supported by some of the top of the Finnish scene with Before The Dawn, …and Oceans and Qwälen!

The 2024 Coolhead Live concert series got kicked off by the Brazilian hardcore/crossover thrash legends Ratos de Porão, with the support of Terveet Kädet and Forca Macabra!

Yngwie Malmsteen coming to Finland was an event we didn’t want to miss, especially when he was bringing along Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons to kick off the night!
