Biography

Hailing from Finland, Ian Highhill is a renowned figure in the heavy metal scene, with over four decades of experience under his belt. His journey began in the early 1980s, inspired by the emerging bands of the NWOBHM movement, which ignited his passion for a lifelong career in music. As a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Highhill embodies the spirit of traditional hard rock and metal, drawing influences from iconic bands likeBlack Sabbath and Judas Priest.

In 2021, Ian made his mark as a solo artist with his debut album, Man in White, which garnered critical acclaim and over 40,000 streams (on Spotify) within its first two months. Praised for its "commercialised heavy/doom" sound reminiscent of Dio-era Sabbath, the album showcased Iommi-esque riffing and high-calibre performances. Following this success, he released Gallows in 2024, which further cemented his reputation, taking listeners back to the golden era of hard rock and metal.

Throughout his career, Ian has released six albums internationally, signed three record deals, and captivated audiences in countless concerts, both in Finland and abroad. Having fronted bands like Olympos Mons and Astralion, he now tours with his solo band, continuing to push the boundaries of his artistry. For rock fans and industry insiders alike, Ian Highhill remains a force to be reckoned with in the heavy metal landscape.


The journey goes on, the destination is uncertain, but it still is one hell of a ride.
