Our last gig of the year was Stam1na and Stoned Statues at Tavara-Asema in Tampere. The venue was packed and the mood was sparking with anticipation – welcome warm from the biting frost outside. Stoned Statues earned their place and were a magnificent opening act for Stam1na. Jenna even came on stage and joined Antti on vocals for one song during Stam1na’s set.
It had been a while since I’ve seen Stam1na and the aesthetic of their newest album “X” was a lot more profound and visible in their live show than I expected. In their background animation and shirts but also in their presence and sound. It definitely felt different for them in a really quintessential way, even more honed in and focused than previous albums and live shows. It was an honor to be there when Sakara Records presented them with their platinum albums for “X” and Tuomo Saikkonen (Mokoma/founding member of Sakara Records) joined them on stage for a few songs!
I couldn’t have imagined a better way to end the 2023 gig year. On to the next!

SYLOSIS release music video for ‘Absent’ alongside Zetra remix
SYLOSIS have released a video for the track ‘Absent’, taken from their most recent album, A Sign Of Things To Come. The introspective cut displays a new side of SYLOSIS, as they showcase their masterful understanding of dynamics through post-industrial atmospherics set against their trademark brand of visceral modern metal.
Josh Middleton comments on ‘Absent’ and it’s accompanying video:
“Despite having always included darker and quieter songs in our discography, ‘Absent’ represents uncharted territory for Sylosis, while staying true to our commitment to melody and emotion in our music. The video also breaks away from our usual style, and we’re grateful for director Daniel Grey’s efforts in creating something out of our comfort zone. We’re excited to have invited our new friends, Zetra, to bring a fresh perspective to the track with their reimagined remix. Their dark synth influence really adds a new dimension to the song, which we love!”
