The Finnish Folk Metal Mafia reunites for another run of European shows in autumn 2016!
Korpiklaani and Moonsroow, the two powerhouses of Finnish folk metal will this time be joined by Iceland’s Skálmöld!
Ville Sorvali writes: “The first FFMM tour earlier this year was such a blast that we knew we had to do a second part. And this time with some non-FFMM villains from Iceland as special guests – welcome on board Skálmöld and try to hang on!”
Snæbjörn Ragnarsson counters: “Try to hang on?! Challenge accepted my friend! But wow, touring with not one but TWO Finnish bands, what could possibly go wrong? No, in all seriousness, I know this will be a killer tour. Great bands, great guys and (great) beer, what more do you need?”
Last but not least, Jonne Järvelä comments further: Oh my Gods, is this Finnish Folk Metal Mafia madness going to continue with Moonsorrow? …and we are going to get even one more band on it?? Skálmöld from Iceland??? You would better come and see this with your own eyes because this will be something ELSE! See you soon there boys and girls!
ROCK HARD, Kulturnews, Metal.de, Metalnews.de & Dragon Productions present

The Gothenburgers third album (and second album for Century Media), Tides of Omniscience, isn’t just transformative, it’s proof positive that in the confines of death metal there’s plenty of room for forward progress without uprooting what the forefathers had in mind. The live energy of this band is hard to find elsewhere so make sure to catch them at one of their concerts!
Check out the first release from their upcoming album
‘Fear The New Flesh – Tides of Omniscience’ https://youtu.be/Pnb5ZHeHIOw
We are extremely happy to welcome Nailed to Obscurity from to the Dragon Family!
The band has a unique combination of sounds! Just check out what Rock Hard Germany said about their latest release: “NAILED TO OBSCURITY created a piece of that music that fullfills more than all standards. For friends of warm sounds of Amorphis across Opeth to Katatonia ‘Opaque’ is a must have.”

The band says: ‘If you take your mission of world domination seriously, you might get at a point where you just need a dragon! (Even Khaleesi needs three of them). We are proud to be chosen to ride on this mighty beast from this day on! Let the invasion begin!’

Following up on the earlier announcement by our friends at Steamhammer/SPV, we are just as happy and proud to announce the signing of the Swedish act Bullet.
The quintet from Växjö is among the most active groups on the Scandinavian metal scene. At the moment, Bullet are writing songs for an album that they are aiming to release in early 2017. Guitarist Hampus Klang:“We think we’ve found a good formula and direction, both in terms of our music and our songwriting. The new material will be even more heavy metal oriented than before. We’ve written some fast songs that are very NWOBHM inspired.”Bullet will record at the Pama studios in Torsås, Sweden, again, with drummer Gustav Hjortsjö doubling as their producer.
Jörg ´Schrörg` Düsedau (Dragon Productions): “I’m really looking forward to the upcoming collaboration with Bullet and to reaching the next level in cooperation with the band, their management and Steamhammer/SPV. When I saw Bullet at the Metal Hammer Paradise, I had a problem to get into the venue at the beginning of the show, because the club was overfilled. And then I found myself standing in the second row towards the end of their show, totally excited. That hasn’t happened in years. What a live band – real metal without frills. World domination’s next!”
The Finnish Folk Metal Mafia and Dragon Productions are very pleased to announce that Korpiklaani and Moonsorrow will be embarking on a co-headline tour in April 2016.
These two powerhouses of the Finnish Folk Metal scene have joined forces for what promises to be an immensely entertaining evening.
Korpiklaani front man Jonne Järvelä said regarding the tour announcement: “I am so looking forward to playing with our fellow FFMM brothers, who for us are the most respected band in this genre of ours. This is a perfect combination of Finnish music and culture.” Korpiklaani Fiddle played Tuomas Rounakari added: “Exactly, Moonsorrow bring the serious side of our culture and we bring in the balance by adding the festivity of midsummer nights.”
The tour which will take the bands through 7 different European countries and is not to be missed!
08.04.2016 BE – Bomal-sur-Ourthe, Durbuy Rock Festival
HateSphere is proud to present Lect Productions latest creation as their first music video in support of New Hell.
“The man behind the masterpiece, Christoffer Tönnäng, contacted us during our crowd funding campaign and made us an offer we couldnt refuse. Luckily, he is as big a fan of gore as we are, so along with his hard working cast and crew, he made this beautiful bloody mess for “Lines Crossed Lives Lost”. Please enjoy and have your kids cover their eyes.” – HateSphere
The new album “New Hell” is out November 20th via Massacre Records but you can already pre-order it now.
