A dozen or so Finnish metal musicians took part in the seventh annual “Dimebag Beyond Forever Tour”, which kicked off in late November and concluded on December 11 in Helsinki, Finland. The 10-date trek honored the legendary PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN guitarist “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott, who was shot and killed on stage on December 8, 2004. The musicians performed for free and the concert proceeds are being donated to the Finnish organization Victim Support Finland, which offers practical advice and psychological support to victims of crimes or attempted crimes and those closest to them and witnesses of crime.

The musicians taking part in this year’s “Dimebag Beyond Forever Tour” were as follows:

* Mikko Salovaara (KIUAS) * Ben Varon (AMORAL) * Ville Sorvali (MOONSORROW) * Nico Hartonen (GODSPLAGUE) * Mikko Herranen (RUST) * Tommy Tuovinen (myGRAIN) * Micko Hell (MILLION DOLLAR BEGGARS, Ex- DENIGRATE) * Juhani Flinck (DEAD SHAPE FIGURE) * Kai Kinnunen (FRONTLINES) * Neissu Ruuskanen (DEAD SHAPE FIGURE) * Rainer “Raikku” Tuomikanto (DECOMPOSTER, CAUSEMOS) * Ville Sahakangas (NICOLE)
