AMBASSADOR21, a duo I first saw live at the last Hellsinki Industrial Festival 2023 when they replaced a canceled show from V2A, who are now in the 2025 lineup. Their high-energy performance left a lasting impression, and I’m thrilled to see them returning to Helsinki. This time, the duo managed to spark a mosh pit in the middle of their show, something rarely seen in the genre, at least here in Finland. Hailing from Belarus, AMBASSADOR21 is widely recognized for their track “We Are Legion (Matt Green Remix),” which was featured in the trailer for Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots. Their music, deeply embedded in the industrial noise genre, often speaks out against political oppression and supports freedom of expression both in Belarus and globally. They are known for their fierce independence, producing, recording, and distributing their music through their own label, Invasion Wreck Chords.
