Cemetery Skyline

Gothic metal supergroup Cemetery Skyline, performing at Provinssi for the first time, bring the festival crowd an impressive mix of darkness, beauty, and power. Praised for their hauntingly nuanced and heavy sound, the band paints dark tones of the Northern soulscape, which is both melancholy and comforting at the same time. Cemetery Skyline pays homage to the Goth rock legacy of the 1980s and 1990s, while also marking the beginning of a new era.

The Finnish-Swedish lineup consists of longtime friends Mikael Stanne, Markus Vanhala, Victor Brandt, Santeri Kallio, and Vesa Ranta, each of whom has earned their stripes with some of the most influential names in the genre, such as Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect, Sentenced, Dimmu Borgir, Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, and Amorphis. Even without name-dropping, everyone can do the math in their heads: this regiment combines the decades of experience and recognizable signature styles of its members into a soul-stirring soundscape. Renowned as an excellent live performer, Cemetery Skyline´s shows entwine heaviness and melancholy into a touching and unforgettable experience that will melt even the darkest of hearts and send cold shivers down your spine.
