Album Reviews

Invent Animate’s new and 4th album ‘Heavener’ is ready to break all the bones in your body and proves that they’re ready for the big leagues with their new and improved sound. Released via UNFD!

Almost a decade after their debut, Swedish metalcore outfit Beneath My Feet is finally releasing their second album ‘In Parts, Together’ via Noble Demon this Friday! And with a couple of refreshing sounding tracks, this should appeal to fans of Dead By April and Bullet For My Valentine!

Ten56. released ‘Downer part.2’, filled with songs that have a metalcore sound with rap influences similar to Landmvrks. 20 years ago we had nu metal, and now we have something you could call the “nu metalcore” sound, a progression that most definitely will have its own share of fans. Released via Out of Line Music!

Mantah brings you low tuned and heavy guitar riffs. Their album ‘Evoke’ gives a mix between late 90s nu metal, modern metal and metalcore, very melodic and heavy at the same time. A beautiful album to listen to, musically at first, but also lyrically when you take the time to dive deeper into this album.

Parkway Drive’s latest ‘Darker Still’ is a darker album than usual, but the quality is outstanding. So much energy is coming from this, you can feel that this was an outlet for the band to share some of their dark thoughts. A masterpiece from a continuously evolving band, out via Epitaph Records.

Electric Callboy proves that they’re not just a one trick pony and brings you the best of two worlds on ‘Tekkno’: electronica and metalcore perfectly combined into both party bangers and more serious tracks, but all equally killer! Out this Friday via Century Media!

Finnish “Northcore” stars Atlas have released what we believe is a monumental piece of art and huge leap forward in their career!

Written from her own experiences in life, Lena Scissorhands and her band-mates bring us another album with some undeniable truths!

Dying Wish really impresses with their debut full-length here. Their sound is a real nostalgic ride for those who actively took part of the mid-2000s (metallic) hardcore/metalcore golden ages.

Light The Torch is back with their 2nd album under the new moniker and continues down the path of epic and extremely catchy tunes that will stick in your head forever!

No backdrop, no filter. Kim Dracula, Whitechapel, and Nothing More on the Radio City & Nordic Energy Stages during Tuska Sunday 2025.

Tuska Sunday delivered a powerful closing chapter on the main stage. Motionless In White, Apocalyptica, and headliners Lorna Shore brought Tuska 2025 to its finale.

During the high time of the festival summer frenzy in 2025, THE GHOST INSIDE stopped over between all the festival gigs at Stuttgart’s LKA Longhorn on June 24 for one of two club shows. Support was given by the Hamburg, Germany-based metalcore band HALF ME.

Tuska 2025 day one beyond the main stage. Performances by Blood Command, SKYND, Bambie Thug, and Imminence lit up the Radio City and Nordic Energy Stages.

Tuska 2025 kicked off in full force on the main stage. From Horizon Ignited opening the day to Electric Callboy, Cradle of Filth, Knocked Loose, and headliners In Flames, Friday delivered from start to finish.

The edges were sharp on Rockfest 2025’s final day. From crushing modern metal to hardcore punk defiance, Ghostkid, Immortal Disfigurement, and Black Flag left their mark on the Red & Black Stages.

Rockfest’s second day delivered a powerful main stage lineup: Battle Beast flying the Finnish metal flag, Bullet For My Valentine celebrating 20 years of The Poison, and Till Lindemann closing the night with his unmistakable theatrical darkness.

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.

In mid-May, Ääniwalli became a vortex of technical brutality and progressive intensity as Born of Osiris brought their tour to Helsinki. With support from death metal and deathcore juggernauts Ingested, the genre-bending Entheos, and Portugal’s The Voynich Code, the night unfolded as a showcase of modern metal’s most forward-pushing acts.
