Fairly new band (founded 2019). Nice detail: The vocalist had his microphone attached to a scythe:D
“Their musical work can be described as an Old School Black Metal from the 90’s (with that crude approach used by names as DARKTHRONE and MAYHEM) with Finnish Black Metal DNA.”metal-temple.com

“ARS VENEFICIUM was founded (2013 Limburg, Belgium) by S., Ronarg & Sorath in July 2013. Risen from the ashes of Eratomania, bringing a much darker and evil sound to their music! Fast and filled with hatred!”immortalfrostproductions.com

“An old school death metal act from Hellsinki, Finland, formed in 1991. Still dying slowly” – TENEBRAE FB page
“First live gig after 25 years. Set list:Welcome Death Everlasting Freeze Trancequake Dance For The Decadence Behind Thy Christ
Songs have been transformed to this millenium. Songs are more intense, yet still twisted, intense and heavy”
– Also from the FB page, somewhat modifed

 

The first indoor band first day at Steelfest.

Had absolutely no knowledge of this band but already had decided to shoot every live gig at the festival and ofc watch the show for whatever time I got in my hands for the moment. So I wouldn´t miss anything.

So many “new” (for me) bands on the bill! Beyond happy for that:)) Also I met this guy (Henrik) from the band when I was on my smoke break. He told me it would be the first live in ages and it would be really good. It was a pretty good show, yes:))

Band 2022: Jussi Heikkinen Henrik Laine Juke Eräkangas Hannu Ojanperä

AZAZEL, the first band at the festival. Interesting for many reasons.
The big question was still: would they manage to stay on stage the whole gig. And yep, they did:) Also it was a pretty good one.
