Chalice

Formed in 2016, the Helsinki-based CHALICE have quickly become a beacon of esoteric heavy metal. Featuring current or former members of such bands as Ranger, Satan’s Fall, and Vincent Revenge, CHALICE released an opening demo and then subsequent EP in 2017 and ’19, respectively, before their decisive debut album, Trembling Crown, in 2020. Reaping widespread acclaim, CHALICE’s first full-length weaved high drama and dynamic metal into a tapestry of wonder and weightiness.
