Kinda last minute decision and totally against my financial situation, but one does not simply say no to once in a lifetime events like this!
Fantastic weekend and not that often I go to a festival with only headliner bands:) Many of them I saw live for the first time, some of them I´ve seen many times, but all of them had special setlists so there were so many awesome surprises. Lots of legends on stage those two nights. Had such a great time! Collected whatever I could find on YouTube. Hopefully there will be more! Wish I had all the setlists!
Thank you all!!!:)

“Three piece outfit from the deep woods of Sweden that will always do what the hell they please. Featuring members from: Nekrokült, Domination, Decapitate, (ex-) Vomitory and Gehennah.”

Ronnie Ripper and TURBOCHARGED ripping the place first thing on the second day. Good crowd concidering the all night partying and hangovers:) Happy to meet them again (last time at Metal Magic for some years ago), also I got to know Ronnies awesome gf Aga Zu;) Collected the guys with TURBOCHARGED patches (made by Rudolf K.)for a group photo while they were still standing:)

A week to go now!! My favourite guys are entering the recording studio to make the album No.2. Was invited to hang around a day at the rehearsals so I heard it all! And it´s going to be awesome:)) Had a very nice day in the best company. And I took some pics, of course.
If you want to see them live, the next gigs are at Doomtown [Hässleholm] the 28th of March and the 24th of April at Undergången[Sthlm].

Sadly I missed the whole first night and the beginning of the second. But got to see some of the bands including the mighty NOMINON with Simon & Vlad (Valkyrja, Ondskapt etc) . At least Vlad was called in on very short notice. Awesome freakin gig!!!  There is way too few NOMINON gigs in general and they´re totally on my wishlist to some festival this summer!!! Right now they are off to Russia!!

Started out early in the morning when Heljarmaðr picked me and Maugrim up and we headed to THE record fair. Many familiar faces there but omg the queue:)) When we were done, we collected Dimman and had some hours of photo shoot (new album in making!! Heard some of it and it sounded great!!) and we finished the day by going with the guys to the Death Kills festival. A very good day! Snatched the pic of Andreas Heljarmaðr but I think I took it with his phone:) Anyways, as usual it takes awhile before I can show any pics from the shoot.

“The name Grá comes from a mixture of the Icelandic “grár” and the Swedish “grå”, simply meaning “gray”. The major content of the lyrical concept is based upon the ancient Scandinavian religion, or rather upon the dark aspects of ancient Scandinavian spirituality. Grá is not a part of any organized religious movements but stands as an independent force. Grá uses Charon from the ancient Greek mythology as a symbol of transition. Death is always present.”

If you´re not familiar with this band yet, I strongly suggest you give them a listen!!!

I already knew that Heljarmaðr (GRÁ, CURSED 13) was a great vocalist so I was really excited to see him with DARK FUNERAL ! He´s maybe not as huge as the rest of the guys (I mean they are really big!!:)) in the band but he´s got the most powerful voice and also handles the fronting business like a freaking boss. The band also added a new bass player Natt (ex-ANGREPP, WITHERSHIN). Kick ass show!:D

“Our music itself vibrates and breathes the very primal draconian Left Hand Force and thus we need no unwilling soul to swear allegiance…It Will Come like swarms of unholy locusts entering the unconscious minds, willing or unwilling.” NEBIROS as guest vocalist this evening!
