Vanguardian Video Interview

Vanguardian, which rose from the ashes of Inkvisitor in 2019, set its starting point on the idea that the members do everything as a collective, combining into a seamlessly functioning machine. The studio built in collaboration with Jami Honkala and Ville Mikkola gave the band the freedom to work on the upcoming full-length album exactly as it was envisioned – without compromising on schedules and artistic freedoms.
The band, which cherishes its independent production, has developed its constantly refined output year after year towards a more threatening and raw essence, both musically and visually. The seamless groove and sharp ensemble playing have also convinced the audience on the live stage, and the career worked with reverence is taking Vanguardian towards international stages.
We had the chance to chat with the band before their show at Meara Klubi in Pori and find out more about their upcoming album, gigs, music video and much more.

Gothony Video Interview

Gothony was formed in 1993, after two demos, “Gothony” in 1995 and “Hidden Thoughts” in 1997, and numerous shows, until the band broke up in 1999. There was no drama in the breakup, but everyone went their own way.
In 2019, it was decided to reunite Gothony to revive the past and play old songs. Wuohi, who had sung on “Bleed Me Tears” and “Katharsis” in the 90s, joined Gothony.
In 2020, Gothony went to Tuska-Torstai and Emergenza to rehearse live shows. After the shows, it was decided to start working on new songs and continue the story of Gothony.
Gothony’s first official single, “Patient 2442”, was completed in April 2023 and released with a music video by Kimmo Jaatinen (director, cinematographer, writer and editor). The second single, “In the Shadow of the Moon”, was released in July 2023. Gothony’s first official album was released on January 12, 2024. The band is currently working on new songs, which are scheduled for release in late 2025.
We had the opportunity to sit down with the band and talk about their career, debut album, gigs and more.
