UK metal powerhouse Sylosis will take the stage in Helsinki early next year as part of their massive UK & EU Headline Tour 2026. Known for their ferocious modern thrash and razor-sharp precision, the band will perform at Tavastia on Wednesday 21 January. Joining them for the night are progressive death metal trio Revocation, brutal deathcore outfit Distant, and rising Texas crossover force Life Cycles. Tickets go on sale Friday 18 July at 12:00 via Tiketti.
Formed in Reading in the early 2000s, Sylosis have steadily carved out their place among the most respected names in modern metal. Signed to Nuclear Blast, the band has released six acclaimed studio albums including Edge Of The Earthand Cycle Of Suffering. Their latest release, A Sign Of Things To Come, showcases the band at their most potent – a crushing and cohesive record that reaffirms their status at the forefront of heavy music today.
Joining Sylosis are Boston’s Revocation, known for their technically demanding and sonically adventurous brand of death metal. Their latest album Netherheaven plunges into hellish themes and allegories, inspired by Dante and infused with progressive flair. Fronted by guitar virtuoso Dave Davidson, Revocation have built a global reputation for their blistering live performances and genre-pushing ambition.
Further heaviness comes from Dutch-Slovakian collective Distant, whose crushing low-end and brutal intensity have earned them a place among the new wave of deathcore leaders. Drawing from beatdown, slamming death metal, and dystopian lore, the band has shared stages with acts like Lorna Shore and Suicide Silence and continues to build momentum with each punishing release.
Opening the night is Life Cycles, a fierce crossover act from Texas blending hardcore energy with thrash metal speed and grit. With influences from Slayer to Power Trip, the band delivers ferocious riffs and lyrics that cut deep. Their upcoming release Portal to the Unknown promises to elevate their sound even further with themes of betrayal, resilience, and raw emotional power.
