Another Meara Kulubi event took place on September 26th in the Finnish city of Pori. This time, two talented bands took the stage: Omnivortex and Solus.

Solus represents an interesting and distinctive addition to the Finnish heavy music scene. Formed in 2020 in Rauma, this energetic band delivers a melodic dark/death metal sound, drawing inspiration from metalcore and djent as well. Their performance was unique; appearing as a trio, without a bassist, they still managed to instantly fire up the crowd and put on an impressive show.

Hailing from Helsinki’s underground death metal scene, Omnivortex is rapidly rising through the ranks of the music landscape. Blending elements ranging from thrash and technical death metal to dissonant black metal, Omnivortex creates music defined by frenetic, shifting rhythms that are utterly engaging. Alternating between clean melodies and raw, brutal sounds, they offer a comprehensive and varied repertoire. Their performance was explosive, combining technical prowess with the frontman’s witty banter with the audience.

Despite a few minor technical audio issues, the evening was a success.
