Khiral is a death/thrash/black influenced metal band from Helsinki, Finland. The foundations were built already in 2008, but this stew required some years of slow cooking and a few lineup changes until 2016 when Khiral released their first singles Orphanage and UltravioleNt, followed by several live shows. Up to that period Khiral’s style had evolved from dark hardcore-inspired rock to a unique mixture of death, thrash and even some black metal elements, still leaning hard on catchy rhythms.

Year 2017 was a real step forward, as Khiral made their way to Emergenza band competition’s Finnish final, thus being able to introduce themselves to larger audiences. The band made their first two appearances abroad in Germany and on top of all, recorded their first album ‘Chained’ (released on Jan/2018). ‘Chained’ received nice reviews from around the world and set the base stone for things to develop. Khiral has since played many gigs and on a few festivals across southern Finland gaining more and more listeners along the way.

The band had a major line-up change around the turn of 2018-19 as both guitarists had to move on with their lives and were replaced. Along with new players the sound of Khiral is reaching more heavily to the direction of dark thrash metal, still keeping  the elements of death metal and hints of black metal in the package.

Fhtagn is a post-metal trio from Tartu, which started as a one-man bedroom project and in 2013 formed a live band. Mainly inspired by horror films and literature, the band has released ep 47 ° 9`S 126 ° 43`W in 2016 and 2 full-length albums in 2018. `Nõiaudu` and 2020. `Mittekeegi eikusagilt`
