MonoMassive, Pori (Finland) 5.9.2026

MonoMassive returned in a special form: Satakunta Edition. Organized by Meara Music, the event took place on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at Winston Live in Pori. The lineup featured four standout bands from the Satakunta region; Eartheria, Folkrim, Kalmantach, and Uhrattu, each bringing their own distinct energy to the stage.

The night opened with Uhrattu, whose sound fuses unholy bleakness with an oppressive, ritualistic atmosphere. Fresh off signing with Black Lion Records for their debut full‑length release, the band delivered an intense performance that immediately pulled the audience into their world.

Next came Kalmantach, unleashing their dark and aggressive Finnish metal. Their lyric, steeped in violence, sorrow, pain, and death, paired with their raw delivery to create a gripping, visceral set.

Self‑described as the “mad wildmen of the Finnish western coast,” Folkrim shifted the mood with explosive energy and a rowdy, party driven stage presence. Blending thrash and death metal with Nordic folk melodies, they had the crowd dancing, shouting, and celebrating like never before.

Closing the night was Eartheria, known for their tight technical riffing, soaring choruses, and atmospheric passages. Fresh from a major appearance at Nummirock 2026, they once again proved they are one of Finland’s most underrated acts, leaving the audience wondering how a band this polished is still underground.

Ikinä & Kalmantach live at Monttu New Level, Pori (Finland) 5.4.2025

Opening the evening at Monttu New Level in Pori was the progressive death metal band Kalmantach. The band did their come back in 2022 and last year release and EP “F60.2: Remissio”. The band did an impeccable show, which managed to warm up the audience before the main act.
Ikinä, embracing the dark and the versatility of their two vocalists, claims the throne as the leading Finnish-language metalcore band. The band has an incredible energy that captivates the audience live. During the performance of their latest single “Jumalatar” (which was recorded with 16 guest female vocalists) the audience went wild. The band was able to make the audience moshpit, which is often difficult to engage in in Pori.
