PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
The nineteenth annual Tuska Open Air Metal Festival has just added more muscle to the already heavy line up. Tuska 2016 will take place at Suvilahti, Helsinki Finland on July 1-3. See bottom of post for ticket information.
Joining a stellar bill that already includes Avantasia, Ghost, Children Of Bodom, Testament, Anthrax and Gojira will be Kvelertak, Hatebreed, Cain’s Offering, Swallow The Sun (special show), Turmion Kätilöt, Lord Vicar, Omnium Gatherum and Brymir.
Norwegian blackened action rockers Kvelertak, who just released the “1985” single off their upcoming album, have been added to the Tuska roster. Undisputed kings of metallic hardcore, Hatebreed will be taking over Suvilahti while supporting their upcoming “The Concrete Confessional” album. Melodic metal super-group Cain’s Offering has been confirmed to appear. Featuring members of Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius , Cain’s Offering could be one of the surprises of the weekend.
Finland’s doom metal flagship Swallow The Sun will be playing all three parts of their highly coveted “Songs From The North” triple album at this year’s Tuska. One part of the album on each festival day. As a cherry on the top, the band will perform the acoustic second part of the trilogy in a special atmospheric setting with a limited 100 person capacity.
