Ewo Pohjola, manager of Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish, has been charged with assault.
According to a report by Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE), Ewo Pohjola strangled a woman in October of 2023 at a Music x Media event in Tampere.
The woman claims that she was approached by Pohjola and a second unidentified man at a bar during the event, where she spoke with the second man for a period of time. She claims that Pohjola left the bar while she spoke with the second man, and upon his return he put his hands around her neck in "a tight stranglehold." Allegedly, he said it "felt exciting" before he left.
A second woman has come forward with similar accusations, but has yet to press charges.
Nightwish will apparently not be making any comments on the situation until the case is closed.

Barely trust a woman's word as it is, but definitely not if they were boozy
Ask me about the time I was assaulted by Jackyl's tour manager back stage for accidentally sitting on the "prop stool" for the lumberjack song ^^^^^^^^ Was this the og lineup of Jesse James, Tom Bettini, Jimmy Stiff and the Worley brothers?
