CENTURY (SWE)
Once again, our beloved neighbor Sweden proves to be a step ahead of us Finns when it comes to heavy metal! Century, formed in 2020, is a fine example that traditional heavy metal is still going strong. The band has released only quality after quality, and their newest album Sign of the Storm also proves this. Influences can be sensed from classic Swedish bands like Heavy Load and Jonah Quizz, as well as NWOBHM veterans like Angel Witch. There is no cheap imitation here, but rather professional crafting of their own style, proudly upholding the banner of traditional heavy metal!
The rapidly rising band is now seen for the first time in Finland. The band mostly plays large festivals, so a club gig is a rare treat!

GALLOWER (POL)
Heavy Metal Thunderstrike is bringing an act from Poland to the Poppari stage for the second time. If the main act of vol. 4, Sexmag, hit hard, Gallower will not leave you cold either! This three-man black/thrash/speed metal trio offers a ride that will blow you away. Get your album Vengeance & Wrath and your ticket! The band tours a lot of European metal festivals, and now it's possible to experience them in a unique club gig in Finland. This is not to be missed!
