I spent lots of August in Finland and have just posted a write up of those trips (link in bio and in comments).

The visits were partly to learn about how metal is seen in the place known as the "Capital of Metal". And they were partly because some ridiculously strong festival line ups brought lots of the bands I needed to learn from into Helsinki over the space of a few weeks. Blackbraid, Mawiza, Iotunn, Unearthly Rites and many others in the same place was a chance I had to take, and I learnt more from the mix of interviews and informal chats with musicians and festival organisers than I could have hoped.

The photos contain some of the bands from Hellsinki Metal Festival and Helsinki Deathfest - including Finnish bands like Ikinä, Numento, and Cyan Kicks as well global musicians including Opeth, Nergal, and Carcass.

I always like to do the research that involves reading books and articles in situ, so it was great to be able to growing body of writing on Finnish metal scenes, by metal scholars like Charlotte Doesberg (on the Kalevala in metal) and Toni Matti Karjalainen (on the formation of the Finnish metal scene), while out in forests and on rivers among ospreys and eagles (I hope Blackbraid, Mawiza & Iotunn might've approved).

I came back with a strong sense of how localised the themes and scenes of metal in Finland actually are, and how much less there's a unifying sense of Finnishness than I'd expected. I also hadn't realised before travelling just how suddenly the links between metal and Finnishness had emerged around the start of the century (and how completely unforeseeable they would've been before).

I also came back having seen some of the best sets I've ever witnessed - and with new appreciation (thanks to Mawiza especially) of the global power of depictions in metal of specific places and the apparently localised outlooks attached to them.

As well as posting a write up on these things, a session I recorded for a podcast based in Helsinki - 10,000 Hours of Indie - just went live (link also in comments & bio). Can't wait to get back to Finland to keep trying to fathom a place that still feels to me like a metal enigma.

Blackbraid, Alcatraz Metal Festival, Kortrijk, Belgium. Sunday 9 August 2026.

I was in the front or second row so able to get some rather intense photos! Though I have come across some amazing close ups of Blackbraid by professional concert photographers!
