Tuska Festival and the TUSKA FORÜM by Bleeding Metal were a blast! In this first episode of two, Kiki, Martha, and Suzana retell our experiences during the first two days of the festival in Helsinki.

We delve into our memories of the interviews and panels conducted during the festival, covering topics from media interactions with bands to the blend of music and gaming, touring life and family commitments, as well as a 'Modern Metal' discussion.

The episode also includes a segment by guest interviewer Cristina from the Metal Pizza Talk Show, who conducted an engaging Finnish-language session with the band STAM1NA. We also get to express our gratitude towards those who supported the event's success.

We had a lovely interview with Stefan Keller from NEAERA about their new album “All Is Dust” and political messages in music. BUT the goddesses of technology are not on our side these days, so that the recording is gone. That’s why, Kiki and Martha sum up the talk from their memories and also discuss the album together with Pia.

Racism is a topic we talk about a lot on this podcast - and it has a lot in common with misogyny. We discuss this while talking about the BABYMETAL collaboration with ELECTRIC CALLBOY. After that, we have an experiment: Since we asked ourselves how men see feminism and misogyny, we tried to get as close as possible by interviewing our only white team member Pia about racism. Turns out: Yes, there are struggles, but also a lot you can do and be vocal about as an unconcerned person.

Before we dive into the topic, Suzana updates about the recent flood in Brazil.

We love to think that the international metalheads all over the world would stick together in a united community - but is that reality?

Martha, Pia, and Suzana come together to discuss the topic in an episode that becomes a love letter to the scene.

AI is what everyone talks about nowadays. UNLEASH THE ARCHERS used it on their new album "Phantoma", out on May 10th. Kiki and Martha talked to vocalist Brittney Slayes about the background and reactions, but also about social media in general.
