The last stop, and no holding back. Cradle of Filth closed their “Splintered in Winter Tour” in Antwerp, with a crushing set from special guests and death metal legends Suffocation and a striking Belgian debut by the Australian misfits of Mélancolia.
Dark, heavy, and intimate. Lacuna Coil at Tavara-asema in Tampere, with Nonpoint as special guests on the “Sleepless Empire EU/UK Tour”. An event by TuskaLive.
On the first part of their ‘Ascension of Europe’ tour, Paradise Lost made a stop in Antwerp, bringing along Messa and Lacrimas Profundere for a night of doom and gloom. Of course we were there!
Day 2 at Tolminator was pure chaos and contrast! From Fulci and Midnight to Cro-Mags, Villagers of Ioannina City, and Cradle of Filth, our intern photographer Nox caught it all on the main stage!
Tolminator Day 1 through the lens of our photographer Tom with Stagewar, Marche Funèbre, High Parasite, Ghost Bath, Kreator & Omnium Gatherum. A powerful start to the festival!
Tolminator 2025 started strong on the main stage with sets from Warbringer, Omnium Gatherum, High Parasite, Angelus Apatrida, and the mighty Kreator. Our intern photographer Nox captured the action, dive into the gallery from Day 1!
Charon kicked off their reunion tour in Tampere, and we made it to their packed gig at Olympia-kortteli on August 29, a night of fun, good music and plenty of nostalgia!
Rockfest Friday wasn’t just about the main stage. From Dead By April and Awake Again to Jinjer and Cemetery Skyline, the Red and Black Stage delivered intensity, precision, and atmosphere in equal measure.
