Dark Tranquillity

About a month ago, The Dark Tranquillity “Endtime Signals European Tour 2025” stopped in Lille, France with special guests Moonspell and Hiraes. We were there and saw it was good, together with a roaring crowd!

Nahka Agency brought a great blend of Finnish metal to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema on Friday May 16th with Amoral, Shade Empire and Voidfallen. Unfortunately the turn up wasn’t anywhere near to as much as it should have been for such a night of quality metal music.

Pictures of a sold-out night with melodic metal legends Dark Tranquillity, gothic metal institution Moonspell and German promises Hiraes at Ääniwalli in Helsinki!

Eluveitie started 2025 with the first leg in Europe of their “ÀNV Rising” tour, with support from Infected Rain and Ad Infinitum, and we saw it was good at one of the first stops at Kulttuuritalo Helsinki back in January! An event by TuskaLive.

Getting a show packed on a Wednesday isn’t something everyone can do, but for a supergroup like The Halo Effect no problem. Together with Bloodred Hourglass they brought one heck of a hot show to Tampere’s Tavara-Asema a couple of weeks ago. Thanks to Fullsteam Agency for welcoming us to the event!

Finnish metal institution Wolfheart decided to wrap up their year with one last show at On The Rocks in Helsinki, and with them they brought the melodeath talents Swansong and Scythe of Sorrow to warm the crowd up for a great night of Finnish metal! An event by Nahka Agency!

Gig Reports

One last night of melodic death metal at Nosturi with Omnium Gatherum, collecting some of the best bands around for a damn good night!

Masters of folk metal Eluveitie brought with them an interesting line-up with Lacuna Coil and Infected Rain and blew the roof off the Tavastia club!

The Swedish vikings of Amon Amarth brought their Berserker around the world, and with them their countrymates of Arch Enemy and Hypocrisy!

Prime Time: an event showcasing the talent that 3 bands of the Danish Prime Collective stall brings forth…

A night of Finnish melodic death metal to celebrate the upcoming release of Bloodred Hourglass!

Behemoth invaded Europe in a satanic event that brought Swedish At The Gates and American Wolves In The Throne Room with them!

From the groove djenty melodic metalcore of Jinjer to the more thrashy sound of Soilwork , Amorphis made this evening unforgettable

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

Alien Weaponry definitely killed it on their very first gig in Belgium at Le Cercle, on 09/08/2018. The New-Zealander trio knows how to rule a stage, be it through the sheer power of their performance, or their interaction with the crowd.

Celebrating the release off their latest album, Will to Power (released with Century Media Records),  Arch Enemy went out on tour selling out venues by the hand full. This can be expected when a band like Arch Enemy takes the stage with Jinjer, Tribulation and Wintersun.
