In this blog post you can read about my YouTube metal covers. I have quite a few covers, both from my official bands and from YouTube itself. Most of them are collaborations in one way or another. If you want to collaborate on something, send me a message. If you Read more…
Just as the metal bands per capita map indicates, Finland is the home of a crapload of good metal bands. These are my 50 favorites. I’m going to exclude some gateway metal essentials like Children of Bodom and Nightwish, simply because I don’t personally enjoy them anymore . I’m also Read more…

After Katatonia’s recent hiatus, there is certainly a hole to fill in the depressive metal with clean vocals style. Deathwhite seems to aiming to do this. They’re an American gothic/doom metal band formed in 2012. Deathwhite previously released two EP’s: “Ethereal” and “Solitary Martyr”. The band mixes gothic rock with Read more…
2018 has been a lacklustre music year for me so far. Ocean of Grief’s full-length debut is one of the few bright spots. The band is a Greek death/doom metal act that received some well-deserved buzz for their 2016 EP “Fortress of My Dark Self”. This resulted in getting signed Read more…
Finland is an export leader in dark metal and rock music. Thence is yet another quality band that proves it. The music style is somewhere in the borderline of metal and rock where other Finnish bands like Hanging Garden and Throes of Dawn also operate. Merging styles in this way Read more…
Hanging Garden’s 2015 album “Blackout Whiteout” quickly became my favorite from the band. This disc, “I Am Become”, continues down the same road as that one and the follow-up EP “Hereafter”. Expect a mix between Finnish death/doom darkness and contemporary influences. The closest comparison is probably Ghost Brigade. “I Am Read more…
Kaunis Kuolematon is a Finnish death/doom metal band. They will be the first post in my underrated bands series, as well as the first post on this blog. The band plays classic melodic death/doom metal. The main vocals are growled and quite typical for the style. All the songs are Read more…
I only found out about Romania’s Grimegod after missing out on them on the Rockstadt Extreme Fest 2017 festival. I’m a bit disappointed about it, since “Wrong Roads” is a solid slice of death/doom metal. I often prefer my death/doom more angsty and aggressive. Raw, down to earth themes tend Read more…
