About
ARTKILLS is a modern metal band from Helsinki, formed in 2020, whose sound locks together heavy riffs, danceable grooves and melodic vocal hooks. The five-piece - vocalist Olli Hyvönen, guitarists Jaakko Helenius and Lassi Luukkainen, bassist Johannes Kyytinen and drummer Jesse Ågrén - has built a steady following on the Finnish metal circuit, earning recognition from Inferno magazine and Kaaoszine along the way. Their 2025 single 'Tightrope', featuring Emma Award-winning rapper Redrama, marked a clear step up in profile and radio reach.
