BATTLE BEAST

Famous for their energetic shows, incredibly catchy choruses and odd sense of humour, Finland’s Battle Beast are destined for glory. On 22 March 2019, the band released their 5th studio album “No More Hollywood Endings”, which topped the charts in their homeland and hit #11 in Germany.

Having toured tirelessly since they were established in Helsinki in 2008, the “party power metal” sextet featuring Noora Louhimo, one of the top frontwomen in metal music, are back on the road again. The No More Hollywood Endings World Tour started at Helsinki Ice Hall in March 2019 and has kept the band touring major venues across Europe and North America ever since.

Battle Beast were awarded Metal Album of the Year at Emma Gaala (Finnish Grammys) for both “Bringer of Pain” (2017) and “No More Hollywood Endings” (2019).

Battle Beast are: Noora Louhimo – Vocals | Janne Björkroth – Keytar | Juuso Soinio – Guitars Joona Björkroth – Guitars | Eero Sipilä – Bass | Pyry Vikki – Drums

BRYMIR

The rising stars of Finnish melodic death metal BRYMIR are set for world conquest in the wake of their third album “Wings Of Fire” (2019). The new album presents an explosive blend of epic melody, haunting melancholy and relentless velocity – delivered to you by virtuoso musicians with unstoppable force. The band has grown and evolved with every release starting with their debut album “Breathe Fire To The Sun” (2011). While their early sound had more folk elements, the band started to develop a more diverse sound mixing together all their favourite genres. The band’s highly acclaimed second full-length “Slayer Of Gods” (2016) saw the first manifestations of the diverse melodic metal that now defines BRYMIR’s unique sound.

The newly released album “Wings Of Fire” (2019) was produced by singer Viktor Gullichsen and guitarist Joona Björkroth (BATTLE BEAST) and has been praised worldwide as one of the best new melodic death metal releases by fans and critics alike. Locked, loaded and hungry for more, BRYMIR are on the rise and will soon fight amongst the titans at the frontlines of melodic metal.

DARK SARAH

Finnish cinematic metal band DARK SARAH was formed in 2012 by Heidi Parviainen, a classically educated professional singer-songwriter. Their music combines elements of metal music, film music, music theater and opera. Their albums are conceptual albums and tell a continuing story. Their debut album ”Behind The Black Veil” was released in 2015 and already in 2016 followed their second album ”The Puzzle”.”The Golden Moth” album and the last part of ”The Chronicles” trilogy were released in 2018.

Over the course of eight years and three epically conceptualized albums, the band has proven their standing in the scene. Known for their incredible storytelling that coalesces perfectly into an unbreakable bond with their music, DARK SARAH is ready to start a new, mesmerizing journey with Na**lm Records and their brand new upcoming epos, Grim, hitting stores on July 17, 2020.

”Grim is a concept album like its predecessors, but it will start a new storyline with a modern horror fantasy theme and a new protagonist called ”Luna”. Musically, Grim introduces a more modern sound and a taste of what’s to come in the future – with a “DARK SARAH twist”, of course. Album is produced by the one and only Mikko P. Mustonen who has been working with us from the start. We think Grim will surprise our listeners with its fresh sound and very catchy and witchy songs! We have not forgotten the theater aspect but it is showcased in a different way. We´re curious to see the response from our audience. We are very excited about this release and can’t wait to share it with the world.”

RASKASTA JOULUA

Vuonna 2019 kaksikymmentäseitsemän konserttia käsittänyt Raskasta Joulua -kiertue on vakiinnuttanut paikkansa koko kansan uutena jouluperinteenä. Konsertin tv-taltiointi tavoitti joulun aikaan yli miljoona ihmistä.

Konsepti sai alkunsa kitaristi Erkka Korhosen ideasta ja ensimmäiset Raskasta Joulua -keikat soitettiin vuonna 2004. Vuosi vuodelta suositummaksi nousseen kiertueen solisteina on nähty tunnettuja koti- ja ulkomaisia metalli- ja rocklaulajia esittämässä joululauluja raskaasti sovitettuina versioina. Massiiviseen joulushow’hun kuuluu vaikuttavia projisointeja, runsaasti pyrotekniikkaa ja näyttävä valoshow.

TYRANTTI

Tyrantti broke the limits of the NWOTHM underground with their breathtaking first single Tulipyörä in 2017. The Helsinki-based power trio released their self-titled debut album on 8th February 2019 through Playground Music Finland and hit #6 on the national physical album charts in Finland, receiving nothing but praise from media outlets around the globe.

The first single of Tyrantti’s upcoming 2nd album was released on 22nd April 2020. “Aja!” overwhelms with 3 minutes of Tyrantti’s signature combination of fast guitar licks, relentless drumbeats and ridiculously high-pitched vocal harmonies. An immediate fan favorite that nothing but raises the expectations for the rest of the album, due late 2020.

Touring almost non-stop since they started, Tyrantti’s name has become synonymous for intense live shows everywhere they’ve played. Brace yourself for jump-kicks, guitar shreds and all-around true traditional heavy metal action.

WOLFHEART

The most overworked and undervalued busy bee on the Finnish metal scene, Tuomas Saukkonen shocked everyone in 2012 with his announcement that he will bury all of his metal music projects at the same time to start anew. Before The Dawn, Black Sun Aeon, Dawn Of Solace and RoutaSielu received their coup de grâce February 23rd 2013 with one last show, in which material from all the projects was played.

After years of pouring his creative juices to projects too numerous to count, since the end of 2012 Saukkonen has focused on just one labour of love, Wolfheart – the musical entity and form of expression that finally allows him to siphon all his musical genius to just one outlet. Be the approach melodic and hopeful, acoustic and fragile, harsh black/death metal or atmospheric doom, Wolfheart has it all, in a mix like of which you haven’t heard before.

The four-piece Nordic machine returns with their highly-anticipated new full-length masterpiece, Wolves Of Karelia, set for release on April 10, 2020 via Na**lm Records. The album is available to pre-order HERE. The first single is out now. Listen to the first single “Ashes” here and second single “Hail Of Steel” here.
