Right after her set at Tuska Festival in Helsinki, we had the chance to sit down with Charlotte Wessels—a truly amazing artist and a genuinely kind soul. Charlotte isn’t just a girls’ girl in words; she shows it in her actions. Case in point: right after our chat, she went searching for the festival’s official photographer just to personally thank her for the stunning shots of her performance. Our interview with her was a great fun also – we talked about all things festival: tips, stories, and moments on and off stage.
Before the storm hit the stage at Tuska Festival, we had the chance to catch up with Daniel Oliver and Mark Vollelunga of Nothing More for a laid-back yet insightful chat backstage. From metal fabrication and motocross bikes to Zelda marathons and festival chaos, the conversation flowed as naturally as a summer breeze before the sonic boom. This was more than just a pre-show warm-up: it was a window into the lives behind the sound, shared over stories of touring, gaming, and the art of rolling with the punches.
If you ask me, “Who’s your favorite person in metal?” my answer would be Charlotte Wessels, hands down. I’ve been (and still am) a huge fan of Delain, and I was lucky enough to catch her on their final tour together. What blew me away wasn’t just her incredible talent, but her ability to connect with and unite fans. Back in 2020, we had the chance to interview her after the release of Delain’s Apocalypse & Chill. Now, we’ve caught up again to talk about her solo album, The Obsession.
