After years of waiting Pain finally made it back to Finland! We made it to their show at Olympia-Kortteli in Tampere, organised by Nem Agency. Finnish modern metallers Detset also did a great job as their support.

Blind Channel’s biggest show to date was a visual spectacle and everything they’ve worked towards for all these years! With support from Arttu Lindeman, it was a great way to wrap up an amazing year.

A look back at the energetic shows from Normandie, Balance Breach and Delta Enigma at On The Rocks back in December!

One from the archives… back in October we attended to the “Come To Latin America” showcase where competition winner Where’s My Bible and one of the runner ups Luna Kills brought us a night of some good live music at On The Rocks in Helsinki, showing yet again what kind of goodies Finland has to offer musically!

Swedish melodeath legends In Flames filled Jäähalli in Helsinki with a massive crowd, along with fellow melodeath instigators At The Gates and up-and-comers Imminence and Orbit Culture to warm us up!

Amorphis came to show why they are one of Finland’s favorites and with them the folk metal legends Eluveitie ripped up the stage at Jäähalli in Helsinki, right after Dark Tranquillity and Nailed To Obscurity warmed up the crowd!

On December 18th, 2022 Nightwish performed their last German gig of the ‘Human :II: Nature’ tour 2022 at Schleyerhalle, Stuttgart. Together with Turmion Kätilöt and Beast in Black, an all Finland based metal night was going to take place.

We made it to the final show of this year’s Raskastan Joulua tour at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, saved by the band and Master Events from cancellation, and the perfect way to celebrate Christmas and heavy metal music in Finland!

On a cold day in October, Volbeat came to warm us up with their hard rock and heavy metal circus at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland. With them, they had the UK ragga metallers Skindred and the US rockers of Bad Wolves, and we saw it was good!

At the end of October, Heilung came to a sold out Jäähalli in Helsinki to celebrate all that connects us with each other and the nature around us, with special guests Eivør and Lili Refrain to warm us up.
