Following the release of their highly anticipated album “Greif,” genre-bending trailblazers ZEAL & ARDOR kicked off their European tour with a must-stop at Helsinki’s Apollo Live on April 26th, 2025. Naturally, Finland—land of eternal darkness and excellent metal taste—was on their itinerary.
Joining them on this tour were the crushingly heavy doomsters KONVENT, who set the tone with riffs dense enough to crack concrete. ZEAL & ARDOR then took the stage and proceeded to blend spirituals, black metal, and sheer intensity into a live experience that felt partially like a ritual. Check our photo gallery here…
