Festival Special & news | Bleeding Metal Podcast 2.22

Bleeding Metal Podcast

In an extraordinary episode, Kiki and Pia recount their experiences at different music festivals, especially in the ten years of working together on Metal & High Heels turned the Bleeding Metal Podcast. But before we go down memory lane, we must address two pieces of news from the Metal scene that are important to us. We also have a special announcement.

We are bringing to life the TUSKA FORUM by BLEEDING METAL! With the overarching theme of Young Voices & The Future of Metal, the forum will feature an interactive panel about Artificial Intelligence in Metal as well as interview guests like Alissa White-Gluz, TURMION KÄTILÖT, Marko Hietala, and Samy Elbanna. The select audience of TUSKA FORUM by BLEEDING METAL will surely be entertained and informed, as an addition to the fantastic Tuska Festival 2023 line-up - one of the youngest in the history of Finland’s biggest Metal festival. And you, our dear listeners, will get to listen to the interviews later on, right here on the feed of the Bleeding Metal Podcast.
