Jonne Aaron seemed to radiate joy and happiness throughout his entire performance last week at Tavara-Asema in Tampere, Finland. I wish all artists would enjoy performing as much as he seemed to enjoy this gig.

Marko Hietala had a special Valentine’s gift for us when he played a sold out show at Olympia-kortteli in Tampere. The show also included appearances from Noora Louhimo and JP Leppäluoto as guest vocals on some of his songs. Thanks Master Events for the access. Always a pleasure to see in a live setting, we’re all too happy to welcome him again on the Tuska stage this summer!
Master Events gave us yet another great evening when they booked Raskasta Joulua to perform an acoustic set at Tampere’s Kaleva Church on the 26th of November. The show with Antti Railio, Marko Hietala and Ilja Jalkanen was a full success, although very different from the usual Raskasta Joulua shows.
We also took some pictures of Brother Firetribe coming to town on their “Band On A Mission” Finland tour, where they rocked the G Livelab venue in Tampere, brought there by Master Events!
Awhile ago, the Finnish leg of the Wolfheart and Before the Dawn co-headline tour started, and with support of Brymir, we got a very nice night of Finnish melodeath at the not so crowded Pakkahuone in Tampere, organised by Master Events.
We got to see one of the Raskasta Iskelmää live shows at the sold out Hönö bar in Tampere. Featuring Marko Hietala, Antti Railio and Ville Tuomi on vocals, it’s the perfect summer getaway while waiting for the Raskasta Joulua season. A very fun evening presented by Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events.
Day 2 of Tuhdimmat Tahdit was just as hot. Carnival Academy, Heavy Metal Perse, Antony Parviainen Trio, Turmion Kätilöt, Metalite, Wolfheart, Shereign, Before the Dawn, Brymir, Mokoma, Swallow the Sun and lastly Battle Beast. Master Events gave us a festival that is certainly worth coming back to.
Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events brought one very hot festival to Tampere’s Ratinanniemi. It started with Verikalpa and ended with Beast in Black, but we also can’t forget about all the bands in between: Transworld Identity, Prestige, Ensiferum, Bloodred Hourglass, Dynazty, Lordi, Mors Subita, Dead by April and Diablo.
We got to enjoy yet another show of Brymir and Kaunis Kuolematon a couple of Friday’s ago at Tampere’s YO-Talo. An event was organized by Nem Agency and Master Events.
Tuhdimmat Tahdit and Master Events organized Battle Beast’s first ever show in Nokia, Finland. As support, they brought along Crimson Sun. An enjoyable evening for everyone.

Raskasta Joulua played one of their acoustic sets in the sold out Kaleva Church in Tampere on Tuesday the 26th of November. The show turned out to provide a very different experience than their usual gigs. The atmosphere of this show was way more emotional and intimate than its heavier counterparts. What a great event by Master Events.
Brother Firetribe has been travelling through Finland on their “Band on a Mission tour”, and last Friday Tampere finally had its turn with their very last stop of the tour at G Livelab, organized by Master Events. And we saw it was good! A perfect way to start our weekend…
Battle Beast proved with their Jäähalli show in Helsinki that they are one of Finland’s up-and-coming heavy metal greats and can put down one hell of a show, with the support from Ensiferum and Kiuas. A production by Master Events.
A lovely night of AOR and melodic rock from Finnish soil with Brother Firetribe and One Desire at the legendary Tavastia rock club in Helsinki!
A glorious return to Tavastia for the first time in 2021 for us! Couldn’t be better kick-off with the epic metallers of Arion and popular alt-rockers of Cyan Kicks!
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.

One of the first shows we get to cover in Finland was a special one! Coolhead Live hosted an afternoon of quality Suomi rap with Gasellit, Aivovuoto and NCO!
Warmth was brought to Nosturi by the Fins of Wolfheart and Brymir! Check out this review about their show from 30th of november in Helsinki, Finland
