Get ready for a mind-bending journey in Helsinki, Jyväskylä, Hämeenlinna and Tampere this January 2026!
After making waves both in Finland and internationally, Death Hawks’ iconic Sun Future Moon album celebrates its 10th anniversary in late 2025.
This hypnotic, genre-defining masterpiece will come alive once more, with exclusive performances at Kuudes Linja (Helsinki), Musta Kynnys (Jyväskylä), Suisto (Hämeenlinna) and G Livelab (Tampere) – don’t miss your chance to experience it in full force!
“Sun Future Moon continues the band’s journey with even more intense strengths: hypnotic grooves, captivating atmospheres, and soaring melodies that will send you into a trance. The new album shows their sound has grown richer and deeper.”
— Arttu Tolonen, Soundi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“A dreamlike trance continues to drive the band’s sound. This musical odyssey channels everything from the final chapters of Pink Floyd’s psychedelic era to the atmospheric realms of ambient jazz.”
— Rami Turtiainen, Suomen Kuvalehti
For these special anniversary shows, Death Hawks will immerse fans in the expansive beauty of Sun Future Moon, offering not just nostalgia, but also glimpses into the future and exciting new interpretations of their diverse and evolving sound.

THE BROOKLYN VAGABOND FIVE STAR REVIEW!
I seem to remember being at a Death Hawks concert last night.
I can remember being behind a particularly rough building in a particularly rough section of a town–I had just gotten off of the bus from Brooklyn to Montana–after a particularly rough round of early evening drinking, doing the sort of things one is want to do in such a place, under such circumstances.
A back door swings open into the alley. Amid curls of smoke or steam some chilled moustacheoed dudes walk out having immediately understood my condition. I am offered a cigarette and invited in. They get on stage and start playing music.
I am surrounded by people dancing, some of them in what seem to be animal costumes holding leashes to animals wearing what seem to be human masks. The stomping goes on until a switch to some softer music, like bedtime, and all the bodies, including my own, start lying down into cuddling masses.
Next thing I know one of the guys is shaking me. There is a problem. We have to leave for some reason. When I am done rubbing my eyes–I think I may have accidently picked up someone else’s glasses–we are behind the building again and in front of a long black car with blinking lights. Someone starts driving faster than seems reasonable. The vehicle’s vibration lulls me into a sort of trance. I think I pass-out.
The next thing I notice is my own coughing, the car is full of dust and has stopped moving. We are stopped in what I am told is an old town in the middle of the Siberian desert. Before I have time to form a full objection to this claim, something is passed around and I stop having ideas that come out clearly in words. I am given a blanket and am told we are making good time and should be most of the way through Alaska by day break.
