WTF Capital of Metal is Finland’s newest addition to the metal calendar, a two-day event that cleverly combined industry panels with a showcase of rising Finnish metal talent.
Day one, held on May 22nd, 2025, kicked things off with a solid lineup of showcase performances from bands like RABBIT CULT, VERMILIA, AWAKE AGAIN, ST. AURORA, CVLT OV THE SVN, and STONED STATUES. From chaotic bunny anthems to pagan soundscapes and high-octane metalcore, there was a little something for everyone. Check our photo gallery here…
