🔻 OCCULT HEAVY METAL from the eerie forests of Eastern Norway – BLOOD PYTHON rise from the graves of witchcraft, 80’s cassettes and shattered dreams.

Angel Witch, Heavy Load, Mercyful Fate
🔻 Various circumstances led to a lengthy hiatus for the Finnish band. But their love for music remained undiminished, as VELVET OCEAN now demonstrate. Since May 15, they’ve released a Metal cover of the ’90s hit "Life" — alongside none other than Mr. Lordi — the song that made E-type a household name back in the day.
That sounds doubly exciting, since the globally popular monster rockers Lordi are the only Finnish band to date to have won the Eurovision Song Contest!

Sleep Token, Amaranthe, Spiritbox
🔻 Since 2016, SCRAPER has been known for an exquisite blend of Progressive, Thrash, and Death Metal. The energetic five-piece band dynamically combines technical precision with complex song structures.
