SOULFLY – The legend and personality of Max CAVALERA is always a guarantee of the highest quality! His famous band SOULFLY recently released their thirteenth album "Chama"! A powerful and heartbreaking album that is a fresh return to SOULFLY's spiritual upbringing, always with a modern touch and an indomitable vitality. It has always been clear that Max's music draws attention to Latin American culture, art and spirituality, and "CHAMA" will take you back to the dirty streets of Belo Horizonte. The name Chama literally translates as "Flame", but it also embodies the burning vitality of the human spirit, the strength of our ancestors and the forces of nature that bind us to the rhythm of the Earth. The album "CHAMA" accompanies the story of a boy from a shabby Brazilian neighborhood who, in search of a higher power, finds himself among the tribes of the Amazon, who show him the way to the souls of the jungle. Expect drums, fire and a magical ritual that invites the spirits of ancestors to be summoned, bonfires that defy the darkness and a rhythm that penetrates through the skin, into the veins, into the heart, into the soul. Get ready for an electrifying, crushing, raw and powerfully intuitive and spiritual adventure that will make your soul SOUL FLY FREE!

KORPIKLAANI - Almost every metalhead knows them, most can at least hum their songs and you rarely see these guys go wild in the cauldron.

Their folk-metal music brings joy, injects energy into the veins and forces you to dance, sing and have endless fun! KORPIKLAANI are on a roll like a mad train and are conquering the whole world with their current album "Rankarumpa".
