Ashen Sky Video Interview

Ashen Sky is a modern metal band from Helsinki, Finland. Their music blends elements of modern and traditional metal. Catchy riffs, powerful choruses, and devastating breakdowns, steeped in deathcore influences, blend with melodic and melancholic tones, creating a striking contrast that conveys aggression and deep emotion.
After a rebranding in early 2025 and the addition of new vocalist Olli Laaka, the band is entering a new chapter with a series of new releases throughout the year. These will culminate in the highly anticipated second album, scheduled for release in early 2026.
We had the opportunity to meet the band before their show in Pori and learn more about Ashen Sky and their music.

Kneel Before The Death & ASHEN SKY live at Meara Klubi, Pori (Finland) 27.9.2025

Meara Klubi returns after the summer break with two bands that are making inroads into the Finnish scene: ASHEN SKY and Kneel Before The Death.

ASHEN SKY’s music blends elements of both modern and traditional metal. Catchy riffs, powerful choruses, and crushing breakdowns infused with deathcore influences merge with melodic and melancholic tones, creating a striking contrast that channels both aggression and deep emotion. Known for their intense, energetic, and unpredictable live performances, ASHEN SKY delivers a unique and memorable experience for their audience.

Finnish Kneel Before The Death mixes death metal, deathcore, symphonic metal, black metal and electronic music to produce their unique sound. In 2023 Kneel Before The Death started a new chapter in their story with the release of the single Eternal Sleep. Their vision was to create art with an aggressive, theatrical and epic approach. In late 2024 the band released first full-length album.

Both bands were a blast, the energy was clearly palpable, and the audience responded more than positively. Two bands to keep an eye on because they are sure to be talked about.
