On Saturday, September 9th, 2023, Metallihelvetti‘s dark techno night took all those in attendance on a wild ride, spanning genres from dark synth-wave to industrial metal and hard techno.
The evening commenced with an artist who resembled a modern-day priest in his dark attire, adorned with a cross around his neck. His name was Ville Kotiranta, and he skillfully guided the audience on an enchanting journey with his mesmerizing set. I became an instant fan. During his performance, he included a captivating cover of Käärijä‘s “Cha Cha Cha,” which had the entire crowd chanting the lyrics at the top of their lungs.
Following Ville Kotiranta, the techno duo MISERIA ULTIMA graced the stage, delivering an exceptional set filled with heavy beats that lifted the audience’s spirits in preparation for the third act. This act featured the well-known Finnish metal scene band hailing from Tampere, KING SATAN, led by the charismatic Alesteir Satan on vocals. KING SATAN is renowned for their epic performances and their remarkable connection with the audience.
As the night progressed, a DJ group known as BUSINESS CITY took the stage by storm. Their set unleashed a relentless onslaught of heavy techno beats that reverberated through the dancefloor. By this point in the evening, the club was bursting at the seams, and the entire crowd was in the throes of an enthusiastic dancing frenzy.
