Northlane - “Alien World Tour” 2019 - Support: Void Of Vision, Polaris
NORTHLANE are celebrating ten years of band jubilee this year, so it seems all the more logical that after the successful albums ‘Node’ (2015) and ‘Mesmer’ (2017) they now released ‘Alien’. They do not tie up to the past albums. With ‘Alien’ they entered new territory, a hybrid between Tech Metal, booming Drum’n’Bass beats and hardcore synthesizers, but they didn’t lose their typical NORTHLANE sound. ‘Alien’ is probably the most personal, but also most disturbing album of the band. Reason enough to go on tour with it. On Thursday the Australians visited the Grand Duchy with their compatriots POLARIS and VOID OF VISION.

Children of Bodom - “A Chapter Called Children Of Bodom” - Support: Wheel
I had to swallow hard, when I left Helsinki Ice Hall that night, “A Chapter Called Children Of Bodom” was over and I still couldn‘t grasp, that a band I‘d been listening to for almost 20 years vanished from my life tonight… I arrived at Jäähalli a lot earlier than on Friday and still the lines were significantly longer. It seemed that the entrance and the cloakroom were terribly understaffed. There were long lines at both merch tables and the event-shirts sold so fast that only very large sizes were available when I made it there. People seemed to have the desire to buy as many keepsakes as possible and many things sold out during the evening.

Stam1na - “Octopussy” Tour 2019
It was roughly two weeks ago that I saw STAM1NA winning over the crowd in Munich, when they toured with INSOMNIUM. Time for me to go to Finland to see their headliner gig that had been sold out for months.

Beast In Black - “From Hell With Love” Tour - Support: Lordi
Helsinki on a Friday 13th, a nearly sold-out Jäähalli and long lines at the entrance. Nearly one year ago I saw BEAST IN BLACK live for the first time in Helsinki. By then, they were the support for NIGHTWISH and they really shook Hartwall Arena. In March and November 2019 they sold out Backstage in Munich during their headliner tour and I was lucky to make it to their biggest headliner-show so far. Be warned! If there is a show in one of the ice-halls in Helsinki, always bring a hoodie! It’s really cold inside and you might need it. BEAST IN BLACK had announced that they had printed a limited edition of shirts specially for this event and when I made it to the merch-desk some sizes already were sold out.
