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.

Swallow the Sun

The co-headline tour of Swallow the Sun and Draconian dropped by Het Entrepot in Bruges with warm-up act Shores of Null to deliver us a healthy dose of doom and gloom!

At the end of May, Swallow the Sun finally came to Tampere on their Moonflower tour. With support of Edge of Haze and Kaunis Koulematon, they gave us a really nice evening at the famous Tullikameri Pakkahuone venue.

Pictures of the first day of Finland’s SaariHelvetti festival held in Tampere in 2021! With a whole slab of quality Finnish metal bands from start to finish!

Album Reviews

Swallow The Sun on the eighth album upholds the definite tone of melancholy that showcase luxurious and spaciously rich the melodies of melodic doom metal.

The already great doom outfit Clouds gathered some guest vocalists to raise the bar for this year’s doom metal releases, even in all the sadness and sorrow there’s always a silver lining to be found…
