Viikate has its roots in the doom metal scene; In the 1990s, brothers Kaarle and Simeoni Viikate formed a band ostensibly to fill a void in the scene following the second breakup of Lijiykomppania. The band’s success came in early 2000 with the addition of Arvo and Ervo Viikate on guitar and bass, respectively. Although the band hails from the Finnish ultra-heavy metal scene, their lyrical content draws heavily from Finnish arthouse films of the 1950s and from folkier, more national artists like Reino Helismaa. Over the years, the band has undergone lineup changes and additions, but they have always remained true to their trademark sound.
Last November, the band released their 15th album, “Hiljainen,” which is a bit more subdued than their previous works. In support of the album, the band toured Finland on a theater tour. 2026 will mark Viikate’s 30th anniversary, and they’re planning something special to mark the occasion.
We had the chance to meet Kaarle before their show at Porispere and learn more about their latest album, the songwriting process, the lineup changes, and much more.

Porispere 1-2.8.2025, Pori (Finland)
Porispere is a crossover festival held since 2011 in Kirjurinluoto, the island park in the center of Pori, Finland.
As we do every year, we at The Offering attended the festival, which this year took place between August 1st and 2nd.
This year’s festival focused more on punk music, with the exceptional presence of the Sex Pistols featuring Frank Carter. On the metal side, Bloodred Hourglass, Turmion Kätilöt, Viikate, and Kotiteollissus took to the stage.
The artists performed on three stages: Raju Lava the main stage, Lokki Lava, and Lagunitas stage.
Opening the first day of the festival was Saimaa, a Finnish post-progressive rock band, followed by Days of Greif, winners of the band competition Porilaine, a young Finnish thrash metal/metalcore band from Pori formed in 2021, who showed their potential on stage.
As always, the undisputed kings of Finnish industrial metal Turmion Kätilöt delivered a top-notch show. The rising powerhouse Bloodred Hourglass performed for the first time in Pori and the audience loved every minute of their show, definitely the best performance of the festival.
The Sex Pistols were the most anticipated band at the festival, playing their classics with the charismatic Frank Carter on vocals, who sang a couple of songs in the middle of the mosh pit, making the whole thing even wilder.
The first day of the festival concluded with Apulanta, a Finnish rock band with punk influences, whose show exceeded expectations and satisfied the many fans who attended.
The second day of the festival started off on a more soft note until Kotiteollisuus, a metal band with over twenty years of experience, took the stage and the audience had the opportunity to let loose, but it took Lähiöbotox, an irreverent and limitless rap-metal band, to unleash the circle pit.
Punk-rock band Klamydia doesn’t disappoint even when they perform for the second time in the same day, the energy of Vesku and company is contagious.
The headliners for the second day of the festival were The Sounds, the Swedish band who had a huge success in the early 2000s with their album “Living in America.”
Day1: Saimaa, Days Of Greif, Turmion Kätilöt, Ursus Factory, Bloodred Hourglass, Sanni, Seksihullut, Herra Ylppö, Sex Pistols ft Frank Carter, Viikate, Atomirotta, Apulanta.
Day2: Egotrippi, Kuusumun Profeetta, Rebekka Holi, Kotiteollisuus, Ellinoora, Absoluutiinen Nollapiste, Lähiöbotox, Olavi Uusivirta, Ismo Alanko, Nössö Nova, Gasellit, Klamydia, Good Boys, The Sounds.
Minispere: Mirella.
Royal Sorrow’s heart-pounding Bloodflower single leads to Innerdeeps album – The album will be celebrated at Euroblast on September 26th
Royal Sorrow, the new progressive metal comet that made their debut in Finland this summer at Tuska, will release their debut album Innerdeeps on September 26th, and the event will be celebrated with a gig at Euroblast, one of the number one progressive metal festivals, on the same day.
The stunning visualiser video for the new Bloodflower single, which was released on streaming services yesterday, has been released today on YouTube.
The Finnish band, who already attracted international attention with their debut Metrograve single, once again packs themes that are simultaneously dark and beautiful in the human mind into the Bloodflower single.
“This is a dark meditation-like reflection on lust, addiction and consequences – it is a raw song about the consequences of bad choices.”
“Bloodflower is a tragedy and poetic metaphor for a flower that is both beautiful and deadly. It represents something you deeply desired, but ultimately consumed you. When redemption seems out of reach, can taking responsibility bring the peace you need?” the band ponders.
The physical version of Innerdeeps will be released as a limited edition plastic-free CD and a transparent neon orange vinyl.
The songs on the Innerdeeps album are:
Let Go
Metrograve
Samsara
Release Your Shadow
Evergreen
Survival Complex
Bloodflower
Looking Glass
Give In

Thrash Metal Titans BLOODRIDE Unleash “King of Pain” Lyric Video
Finnish thrash metal juggernauts BLOODRIDE return with the lyric video for “King of Pain”, the latest offering from their new album, Deafening — out now worldwide through Wormholedeath.
“King of Pain” is a vicious psychological purge — a relentless dive into numbness, rage, and the unbearable weight of existence. With razor-edged riffs and raw, unfiltered lyrics, the track explores a protagonist trapped in a cycle of self-loathing and emotional torment, ruled by a need to feel something — even if it’s pain. It’s not just a song; it’s a scream from the void, a twisted anthem for those who’ve ever stared into the abyss and dared it to stare back.
Formed in Helsinki in 2000, BLOODRIDE have spent over two decades perfecting their signature cocktail of razor-sharp thrash, death metal menace, and hardcore aggression. The band’s previous album, Idiocracy (2021), was praised across international metal media for its unrelenting energy and cutting social commentary — a tradition that Deafening carries forward with even greater ferocity.

Finnish Prog CANVAS OF SILENCE New Video “One With The Wind” From Debut Album “As The World Tree Fell” Out Oct 2025
Finnish female-fronted progressive metal band Canvas of Silence continues the rollout of their debut album “As The World Tree Fell” with the release of their second single “One With The Wind”, available now on all digital platforms via Rockshots Records.
Following the emotionally intense and prog-driven debut single “Drown“, the new track explores a more melodic and soaring side of the band’s musical palette. “One With The Wind” blends hauntingly beautiful vocal lines with straightforward sections and intricate, prog-tinged instrumentation — a signature approach the band has defined as “Prog-influenced Chorus Metal”.
Lyrically, the song takes the form of a farewell letter inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises. It captures the final words of someone preparing to part ways with the world, offering one last message of hope, love, and liberation. As always with Canvas of Silence, deep philosophical themes are woven into the sonic texture of the song — an interplay of melancholy and euphoria, darkness and release.
Taken from the concept album “As The World Tree Fell“, “One With The Wind” is a key chapter in a larger journey that reflects on collapse, rebirth, and the fragile beauty of being. The album title itself refers to a metaphorical World Tree falling, symbolizing both personal and global disintegration and the silent promise of renewal.

Through Flames and Folklore: VALLORCH’s “Hellpath” Live Video Ignites Ancient Myth – New Album “The Circle” Out Now
Vallorch continues their evolution through folk and symphonic metal with “Hellpath”, their brand-new single and official live video taken from the acclaimed album “The Circle” (out via Rockshots Records). Shot during the band’s 2025 Italian Tour at Obscene Valhalla, the performance captures Vallorch’s intense stage presence and emotional depth, directed and edited by Simone D’Addazio (@morksar) with additional camera work by Ivan Castelli (Ivan Lionsoul).
With its evocative mix of crushing riffs, folk instrumentation, and fierce, emotive vocals, “Hellpath” transforms ancient myth into a deeply personal reflection on life’s hardest questions. The track draws inspiration from the Cimbrian tale “The 99 Paths of Hell”, where a man must outwit the devil to save his soul — a tale Vallorch reimagines as a metaphor for life’s endless crossroads: regret, anxiety, identity, and the fear of being forgotten.
Lyrically and musically, the song is one of the band’s most introspective works to date. Harsh vocals embody the voice of the devil—or perhaps one’s inner demons—while solemn folk melodies evoke a dance through fire. Despite its darkness, the song offers resilience: a call to keep walking, even through flame, and to stay true to oneself in a world of uncertainty.
“Hellpath” shines as one of the most powerful moments on “The Circle“, an album that explores the many faces of the night: its solitude and celebration, its fears and freedoms. Vallorch’s unique blend of folk, symphonic, death, and power metal, along with their deep connection to Alpine mythology and Cimbrian heritage, sets them apart in the modern metal landscape.
The video of “Hellpath” is not just a performance — it’s a ritual. The band’s energy, intensity, and connection with the audience are palpable, delivering a visual and sonic experience that encapsulates everything Vallorch stands for.
Fans of Eluveitie, Wind Rose, Epicaand Alestorm will find in “Hellpath” a song that bridges myth and meaning, tradition and self-expression — a path into the flames and through them.

ABOUT:
VALLORCH was born in December 2010, when Marco Munari (NewSun), Matteo Patuelli (Alzhagoth), and Massimo Benetazzo came up with the idea right after attending a concert together. Inspired by the energy and spirit of the event, they decided to form their own band, and the name VALLORCH—taken from a small Cimbrian village on the Cansiglio plateau—was quickly chosen as a tribute to their cultural roots.
For the first year, VALLORCH experimented with different sounds and musicians, searching for the right lineup. By January 2012, the group solidified with the addition of vocalist/flutist Sara, vocalist/bassist Leonardo Dalla Via, multi-instrumentalist Andrea ‘Demetrio’ Rampin (playing tin whistle, bagpipes, accordion), and violinist Francesco Salviato. This seven-member ensemble debuted live in March 2012, promoting their newly released EP Stories of North. Their captivating blend of folk metal quickly gained traction, earning them recognition in the Italian scene and leading to performances at events like Fosch Fest, where they opened for major bands.
However, the summer of 2012 brought changes. Violinist Francesco parted ways with the band, and Martina Mezzalira took his place. Around the same time, VALLORCH signed a record deal with Moonlight Records and entered the studio to work on their first full-length album. Released in 2013, Neverfade was met with critical and fan acclaim, blending fast-paced, melodic jigs with guttural and clean vocals, alongside powerful death metal riffs. This success landed them performances at major international festivals like Metaldays.
2014 saw further lineup shifts. Andrea Demetrio Rampin left the band, replaced by Paolo Pesce on accordion, hurdy-gurdy, and keyboards. Meanwhile, vocalist Sara took over tin whistle and bagpipe duties. Founding member Matteo Patuelli also stepped down, making way for guitarist Mattia Buggin to join. Despite these changes, VALLORCH pressed forward, embarking on their first European tour with Artaius. They played in Germany, Czechia, France, Belgium, and Slovakia, culminating in a performance opening for Mägo de Oz at the Metal for Emergency festival.
Later that year, they returned to the studio to record their second full-length album, Until Our Tale Is Told (2015). The album reflected the band’s growing compositional maturity and led to more festival appearances and live shows over the next two years.
In 2016, Riccardo Gianni briefly joined the band as a violinist, performing at several major local festivals. However, by 2019, the band was once again at a crossroads. After a series of lineup changes and creative challenges, founding member Marco Munari decided to leave the group. The remaining members—Massimo, Sara, Leo, Mattia, and Marco—faced a difficult choice: either disband or evolve. They chose to reinvent themselves as a five-piece band.
The global restrictions from 2020 to 2022 made live performances difficult, but the band used this time to focus on writing new material. By 2023, VALLORCH returned to the stage, opening for renowned acts like Alestorm, Wind Rose, and Rhapsody Of Fire.
Now, in 2025, VALLORCH is set to release their highly anticipated new album, “The Circle”, marking a triumphant return. Reborn from the ashes of their former selves, they are ready to take the world by storm once again.
Vallorch Line Up:
Sara Tacchetto: vocals, choirs, tin whistle, bagpipe
Leonardo Dalla Via: vocals, harsh vocals, choirs, bass, programming
Marco Povolo: vocals, choirs, keyboards, bouzouki, programming
Massimo Benetazzo: Drums
Mattia Buggin: electric and acoustic guitars
Guests:

Toronto Prog DEREV Posts New Music Video “Futile” Ahead of Toronto Show Date w/ VOLA
Tapped to be opening support for Denmark’s VOLA‘s Toronto tour date on Sept 12th at The Opera House (ticket info), local prog rockers Derev are sharing their latest live music video for their track “Futile”, which was filmed during the band’s album launch show this past March for their first full-length, “Troubled Mind”.
“Futile” was the lead single from their 2021 EP “Leap of Faith”, and is about the uncontrolled advancement of AI. The track is a fusion of metal’s raw energy with the atmospheric depth of progressive rock, featuring mellow instrumental sections and expressive solos that evoke introspection and emotional complexity.

Derev‘s new album “Troubled Mind,” released this past March, is the follow-up to their 2021 debut EP “Leap of Faith.” It takes a deep dive into the intricacies of the human psyche, addressing a spectrum of mental health issues with each track, ranging from temporary mental instability to more severe conditions such as schizophrenia, cognitive immobility (a fixation on the past), and depression stemming from loss.
Offering a diverse range of sounds from mellow, calm tracks to adrenaline-pumping heavy headbangers while maintaining their distinctive progressive rock sound, enriched with Middle Eastern influences. Incorporating more prominent keyboard parts, experimenting with various time signatures, and introducing new instruments such as the Cajon, Darbuka, and electronic elements. This evolution showcases the band’s innovative spirit and commitment to pushing musical boundaries.
The band adds:
“This album is very personal and introspective. It’s full of memorable songs and parts to listen to and digest, both from a musical and lyrical perspective. Every song tackles a different state of mind and takes the listener into their thoughts of a mental state that they can relate to. As this one marks our second official release, we think the fans will be excited about hearing what Derev still has to offer. They’re in for a crazy ride full of energetic ups and heartbreaking downs.”
Derev was conceived after founding member and drummer Michel Karakach, after fleeing the war in the Middle East and finding refuge in Toronto, Canada, reunited with his best friend, guitarist Armando Bablanian, to turn what was once a mere childhood dream into a powerful reality.
Derev‘s dynamic lineup now includes bassist Stan Komarovsky, providing the backbone of Derev‘s sound, and keyboardist Ran Zehavi from the progressive rock band Scalar, adding depth and complexity. Leading the live charge is frontman and vocalist Mike Symons, who has replaced previous singer Adel Saflou, whose recorded vocals are featured on “Troubled Mind”.
Recommended for fans of Opeth, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Soen, and Riverside, “Troubled Mind” was released on March 26th, 2025, and is available at https://www.derevmusic.com/store (CD, Vinyl, T-Shirt) and all digital platforms.

Italian Metal Rock Discovery epoimóriròmiope Signs to Epictronic for Debut Release
Epictronic Records is thrilled to welcome Italian genre-bending rock metal act epoimóriròmiope to its roster for their haunting new album, ricordi di un tempo mai esistito, due for release on 10 October 2025.
Emerging from Bologna’s underground in 2021, epoimóriròmiope has been forging a unique sonic identity by merging the visceral impact of Metalcore with the immersive textures of EDM, Alternative Rock, and Industrial. What began as a one-man studio project has evolved into a fully formed band with a bold new sound and vision.
Following the underground acclaim of earlier self-released works Vincoli and kabukimono, the band made a decisive move to withdraw their previous catalogue from streaming platforms, signaling a rebirth with a new lineup and a darker, more refined artistic direction. Now, with Epictronic behind them, they are ready to unveil their most ambitious work to date.
ricordi di un tempo mai esistito (“memories of a time that never existed”) is an emotionally charged concept album that dives deep into themes of loss, abandonment, rage, anxiety, and the fleeting nature of existence. Written during a period of intense personal turmoil, the album is both catharsis and confession — a raw sonic diary built on distorted memories and unspoken grief.
Fusing jagged guitar riffs, aggressive synths, glitched textures, and cinematic soundscapes, the record draws inspiration from Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Bring Me The Horizon, Massive Attack, and echoes of darkwave, IDM, and cyberpunk. It’s a record that doesn’t seek to soothe but to confront — a sonic mirror held up to the most shadowed corners of the human psyche.
This release marks the beginning of a new chapter for epoimóriròmiope, one rooted in emotional truth and unrelenting sonic exploration.
epoimóriròmiope is:
Erik Storari – Vocals, Guitar, Composition, Production
Sara Fioravanti – Bass
Giulio Barranca – Drums

The Rasmus’ Lauri Ylönen joins Bad Wolves on new single

The new version of the song “Say It Again” features a guest appearance by The Rasmus singer Lauri Ylönen! The Rasmus and Bad Wolves are both signed to Better Noise Music.
“This song has always been special to me, and while it’s already a strong song, I never would have imagined how it would develop with Lauri.
