Heavy Music Band Battle

Heavy Music Estonia unleashes the Heavy Music Band Battle under the TMW banner—a full-scale sonic assault where local bands go to war with serious intent!

The grand final brings together Estonia's finest heavier music bands who've fought their way through semi-finals. Joining the four best Estonian acts in this crucible are the winners of Latvia's and Lithuania's Battles—meaning the Baltic region's most formidable outfits will clash in an epic showdown where the audience vote carries weight! This is no joke—last year's victors Pridian and Intrepid are currently conquering stages across Europe and the US!

This combat fulfils three objectives: to storm the gates of major festivals on home turf and foreign ground; to arm bands with strategic intel from music industry officers in Estonia and across the lines; and, naturally, to let bands prove their mettle before the Battle's jury, stacked with field marshals of the music world. The ultimate campaign? To rally our heavy music troops and mobilise the entire scene to fight harder! Victory earns deployment to one of Europe's most formidable strongholds—Poland's legendary Mystic Festival, where the conquering band claims their battle-won pass to the stage.
