AKHLYS! No support bands.
Was not so familiar with this band, so no expectations what so ever. Because of last minute venue changes the event took place on a partyboat in town.
The organizer & the guys were somewhere in town having dinner and some beers so I went inside, but after awhile, being constantly in someones way, I chose to wait outside on the dock instead. Spent about a half an hour or so listening to the shittiest disco music ever from the party on the top deck. Enough time to get fairly brainwashed before my “saviours” arrived xD
Besides being totally decent people, AKHLYS truly got the proper violent nightmarish feeling to this partyboat and washed my brain right back. Excellent performance!
There are some releases out there but started with the first album “The Dreaming I“ (because of Alexander Emt). Found it on Bandcamp for a couple of days ago. Now I´m stuck with it and can´t move on, it´s way too good. So it´s more or less on loop right now. When I finally get through all there is with AKHLYS ( the latest “House of the Black Geminus” was released just a month ago), I continue with Naas Alcameth´s NIGHTBRINGER. Good times ahead.
Didn´t find any clips from Sthlm but one from Bergen a couple of days earlier.
