 Photographer: Tino-Viljami Vanhala Finnish melodic death metal band Superdeathflame returns with melodic metal anthem "Crown Of Stars". The song is about the lone survivor of an intelligent species standing beneath an infinite, starry sky. Clean and growling vocals ride harmonized guitars, driving double‑bass drumming, and a bridge that swells into an anthemic, melodic chorus. This song is about cosmic solitude, defiant resolve, and bittersweet hope. Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon, Bandcamp etc.): https://push.fm/fl/sdf-crownofstars From southern Finland's grey landscapes rises Superdeathflame, the Style-Masters-of-Metal ready to conquer the world with our mature and melodic music that catches the ear.

 Promo picture by Kristian Kipinoinen The Finnish Dark Gothic Metal band Horizon Of Aeons are set to release their debut album, "Timeless Forms Of Desolation", on 29 May 2026 via Inverse Records. The single 'Kairos', is unleashed today and it's available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/horizon-of-aeons-kairos The band comments: "The lyrics deal with the concept of deep time. The vastness of the universe challenges human perspective. Our collective cosmic history shapes the eternal harmony of our souls. We are part of the ever-flowing stream of humanity’s consciousness. Musically, this song is more up-tempo and contains unique elements compared to other Horizon of Aeons songs. It is a perfect opening track as it gives the album a good kickstart with the blasting double bass on the drums. The outro is a piece of text spoken by our technician and co-producer Kristian Kipinoinen. This text is handled more closely in the song “1846 (The Ones Beneath)”."
Horizon Of Aeons is a Dark Gothic metal band founded in 2024, bringing together seasoned musicians from the Finnish metal scene. The band consists of Miska Lehtivuori (vocals,guitar), Ville Pekkala (guitar), Pekka Venho (bass), and Pekka Jokela (drums). These members have a rich history of playing together in various bands (Fall Of The Leafe, Ablaze In Hatred, Searing Meadow, Mormânt De Snagov, Leaflet, Jackie’s Land), which laid the foundation for their cohesive and powerful sound. Horizon Of Aeons’ musical influences are as diverse as the members’ extensive backgrounds in the metal scene. Each member brings a wealth of experience from their previous bands, contributing to the band’s unique sound. Together, these musicians create a sound that is both intense and melodic, drawing from a wide array of metal subgenres. Their influences span across various styles, allowing them to craft a distinctive musical identity that is uniquely their own. This blend of experience and inspiration results in a sound that is both familiar and innovative, pushing the boundaries of Dark Gothic Metal. Horizon Of Aeons’ lyrics delve deeply into the dark and complex concept of time and its relentless progression. Their songs often explore the infinite future contrasted with the finite past, creating a haunting and introspective atmosphere. The band masterfully weaves themes of existence and memory into their music, painting vivid pictures of a world where time is both a creator and a destroyer. In addition, Horizon of Aeons touches on themes of cosmic forces, often using esoteric and mystical imagery. They explore the inherent inclinations of humanity, the seductive nature of sin, and the purifying power of darkness. This adds a layer of depth to their music, as they challenge conventional beliefs and embrace the darker aspects of existence. Overall, the band’s lyrics are a profound exploration of time, existence, and the human condition, offering listeners a journey through the infinite and the ephemeral. https://www.facebook.com/horizonofaeons https://www.instagram.com/horizonofaeons https://horizonofaeons.bandcamp.com  Promo picture by Christian Koitla The Finnish melodic death / black metal band Se, Josta Ei Puhuta are set to release their new album, "Syvyyden Portit On Saatava Auki", on 29 May 2026 via Inverse Records. The first single 'Kuolemaa Ei Ole', accompanied by a music video, is released today and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/T7tHrBma1YU The band comments: "Kuolemaa ei ole is a declaration of rebirth and the fracture of consciousness. That which remains unspoken opens a gateway to unseen realms, where the end is not an ending but a transition. The song simmers beneath the surface, shifting in intensity as if an ancient force were awakening within a body long believed to be dead. Interwoven guitar harmonies guide the listener from one layer to another, creating a tense yet unexpectedly warm atmosphere. Resurrection does not occur through light, but through darkness, where the old self is abandoned and a new form is born. For this reason, Kuolemaa ei ole is a natural choice as the album’s first release. It is a beginning, but also a reminder of eternity. The song functions as a ritual in which the concept of death is stripped of its meaning. What remains is movement, continuation, and an endless cycle. We have seen the light, we have risen from the dead, this eternity is but a blink of an eye in the vastness of eternities."

Vocalist Nina Kuronen tells about the theme of the song: "The song is about mental violence. Intentional psychological violence. Belittling, threatening, blaming, manipulation that causes deep psychological wounds. A difficult topic that is often not visible from the outside." Guitarist Jukka Saarinen adds: "The song is the band's fastest and darkest release to date. The song combines two ideas that fit together perfectly." Watch the music video: https://youtu.be/8KV5zmcXl-o Listen to the single on music services: https://push.fm/fl/endlessexam-shutup Endless Exam from southern Finland is a theatrical metal band formed in 2020. The band combines atmospheric melodies with heavy rhythms, led by vocalist Nina Kuronen. The band's debut album, "Voice of Passion and Agony," was released in June 2023 through Inverse Records. https://linktr.ee/endlessexam  Promotional photo: Joonas Marjo Finnish Industrial Metal band Ruoska, will release their sixth studio album "Kade" February 27th. Now they have released the final single 'Ikirouta' from the upcoming album. When the mood darkens and despair rears its head, Ikirouta hits you in the face with memories, biting into your bones and core like a freezing winter wind. Based on audience reactions at recent gigs, Ikirouta proved that there is demand among Ruoska fans for heavy, slow-tempo tracks. The feedback on the song surprised the band members themselves, even though Ikirouta breaks the traditional boundaries of Ruoska. For the first time, Ruoska combines powerful distorted guitars with stunning orchestral arrangements in a way that reveals new nuances with each listen. Ikirouta keeps its listeners in its strong grip, creating a chilling and gloomy mental landscape that only a Finn can understand. Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal etc.): https://push.fm/fl/ruoska-ikirouta The band, which hails from Juva, Eastern Finland, and has already racked up nearly 25 million plays on Spotify alone, will also be heading out on an album release tour, which will be starting right after album release. https://www.facebook.com/ruoskaband https://www.instagram.com/ruoskaband/ https://ruoska.bandcamp.com/  Promo picture by Sami Kettunen Finnish Death metal band Hautajaisyö are set to release their fifth album 'Surun Paino' on March 20th 2026 via Inverse Records. The first single 'Maan Nielemä' is out now, accompanied by a music video available here: https://youtu.b/L4ygntH5stk The first single from the new Hautajaisyö album, Surun Paino (Weight Of Sorrow), comes with brutality. 'Maan Nielemä' (Swallowed by Dirt) showcases the band at their best. It features heavy riffs, violent drums and low-growl vocals. The song is inspired by the year 536, the "Year of Darkness", when the world was shrouded in darkness and nearly all of humanity perished. Amidst the chaos, a lone gravedigger toils endlessly. The song has a DIY music video which was filmed in one take at the band's practice venue. This fits well, as the album was recorded by the band themselves using their own equipment. "'Maan Nielemä' is one of my favourite songs from the new album. It hits like a hammer on hot metal, and you can feel the darkness of the song. Making the video was damn fun. We had a rough idea of what we wanted to do, and we tried to keep the costs down. Then we just 'hit our heads against the wall' until we had the finished video." says vocalist Janne Partanen

The epic new video is loosely based on the world of the well-known Italian fairy tale, Pinocchio, and the song is now being heard in its entirety for the first time. The video was produced and shot by SOFT NEON AUDIOVISUAL, while the band members were heavily involved in the production of the video. The band's bassist Niko Laaksonen is responsible for the lighting and lighting design of the video, and keyboardist Lassi Nuolivaara is responsible for the scriptwriting and directing the actors.
“The story of the video is seen from the perspective of a dollmaker, who desperately hopes for a son of his own, with whom he can share the joys and sorrows of life. He decides to build a doll out of wood and hopes that it will come to life. It’s also great to finally have the full version of the song out in video form and see the audience’s reaction.” - Lassi Nuolivaara / Keyboards A single edit version of the song Dollmaker was released earlier this fall and is available on all streaming services. Memoira is a symphonic metal band from Finland formed in 2007. Known for it's big atmospheric and epic sound, Memoira combines dynamic melodic metal and symphonic ethereal orchestrations into one, consistent flow of storytelling. On their 15 year journey before the latest line-up changes, the band has released three albums and seven singles worldwide. With the current lineup, which has been active since 2023, and Krista Astrid Schröter as their vocalist, the band has already released three singles (Cryonic Heart 2024, Emerald Eyes 2024 and Dollmaker 2025), each of which has brought the band more listeners and streams. The renewed line-up has also brought a whole new energy to the band's stage performance and image, which has already been noticed among fans. MEMOIRA LINE-UP

Listen to the single on music streaming services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music yms.): https://push.fm/fl/ikirouta-enmilloinkaan
"I had 'En Milloinkaan' as a rough draft on my computer since late summer 2025, and the song took its final form quite quickly at the end of November," says guitarist Teemu Kuosmanen, who wrote the song. “The recording, mixing, and mastering also went very quickly.” ”The song is about how, even though life doesn't always go the way you want it to and even though there are all kinds of naysayers and pessimists around you, you can still get through anything if you want to and believe in yourself," says Kuosmanen. “When I sing it, I feel like I won’t give up and no one can bring me to my knees,” says singer Jori Kärki. The song is a fast-paced, synth-driven, melodic rock song. The guitar also plays a role, and the chorus is quite big and catchy, in typical Ikirouta style. Ikirouta is a Finnish melodic metal band from Kajaani, formed in the winter of 2020. They have performed at clubs and festivals throughout Finland and shared the stage with bands like Popeda and Blind Channel and also even the legendary Skid Row. The band's music is available on all digital music platforms, and on Spotify alone, the band has been listened to well over 2 million times. Every song can be found on YouTube with a music video.

 Promotional picture: Imran Shamsul Finnish Blackened Death metal band Karelian Warcry have worked with their third album for years and finally it sees the light of day this spring. The first bite from the album, a single "Mielen Rutto" (The plague of mind) is now out. Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Bandcamp etc.) https://push.fm/fl/karelianwarcry-mielenrutto Karelian Warcry was founded in Kouvola, Finland, in 2002. In its early stages, KW’s music leaned more distinctly towards Black Metal. Nowadays it’s influenced by other subgenres of metal as well as other types of music. The lyrics explore themes related to war, violence and the darker sides of humanity. Each member brings their own musical roots, personal ambitions, and thematic passions into the mix, resulting in unique and recognizable sound. Wistful and haunting melodies, crushing grooves, and relentlessly driving rhythms blend with violent storytelling and poetic expression, hallmarks of Karelian Warcry’s musical identity. In 2014, the band went on hiatus following the passing of vocalist-guitarist Matti Mikkonen. Although the members have scattered from their hometown of Kouvola, they have continued creating music together—both remotely and in their rehearsal chamber. One could say Karelian Warcry never ceased to exist. And now, a bit over a decade later, they have finally completed the upcoming album, "Veripellot" — their most crushing and cohesive work to date. https://linktr.ee/Karelian_Warcry Line-up:
