Scandinavian metallers Vreid, Solstafir and Thunderstone are all to play the Lexington in London, as part of Hammer’s ongoing ambitions to represent metal from all corners of the globe.

Metal Hammer editor Alexander Milas will be curating a special night for Ja Ja Ja, showcasing some of the finest metal talent Scandinavia has to offer.

“I aimed for three bands who I think are very representative of their respective countries,” said Milas. “I’m a longtime fan of Windir and so Vreid, who have former members from that band, were a shoe-in. Thunderstone sound absolutely brilliant so selfishly speaking, I wanted to hear that power metal live and see if they can pull it off, and Solstafir blew my mind at the Purple Turtle in London not long ago so I absolutely had to have them in.”

The show will take place at the Lexington on Thursday April 15th from 7pm and will feature a DJ set from Hammer editor Alexander Milas and the Metal Hammer team from 10:15pm. Get full details and tickets here!
