The Finnish band Raskasta Joulua has produced heavy metal versions of classic Christmas songs and carols. The Finnish phrase "Raskasta Joulua" translates to "Heavy Christmas" in English. Guitarist Erkka Korhonen developed the concept back in 2004. Since then, it has become one of the country's most beloved Christmas concert tours!

This year’s line-up featured the following soloists: Antony Parviainen (Psychwork),
JP Leppäluoto (Charon, Northern Kings), Antti Railio, Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast) and Pekka Heino (Firetribe).
