The undoubted kings of psychedelic death metal of today, Blood Incantation destroyed Kulttuuritalo last April during their “Absolute Elsewhere Tour”.

With Descendents and Circle Jerks, 2 icons from the US hardcore punk scene dropped by at Kulttuuritalo in Helsinki in April, showing us all that they haven’t slowed down one bit and are still as rebellious as ever!

Our site is dedicated to everything rock and metal with a few sidesteps in music that appeals to the same music fans like synthwave, neo (pagan) folk, industrial,… But some of us do have a taste for music and art that goes beyond these limitations. Enter “GRIMM goes rogue”: where you’ll get a metalhead, punker, rocker,… who ventures into realms beyond their usual habitat with an open mind and give their honest opinion, views and experiences.

"A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open."
