Man ska aldrig älta i gammalt, men detta var den krångligaste plåtningen ever med både egna fuckups och tekniska failures. Det tekniska handlade då om att objektivet hanterade inte autofokuset och eftersom jag bara kollade lite snabbt på ljuset i kameran så missade jag helt detta faktum ända tills jag drog upp allt i datorskärmen. Och nej, inga tidigare problem med AF. Det andra var nog bara om att jag nyligen bytt system helt och var inte alls så hemma i alla detaljer så det blev lite felbedömningar.
Egentligen borde man ha plåtat utomhus för utrymmets skull, men det skulle inte heller gjort mycket skillnad i slutändan. Uääähh surt det var. Och är fortfarande xD Blev en dyr reparation på objektivet…#neverforget #trippelkollaräckerinte

Omtagning fanns inte på kartan pga allt jobb som lades ner för den här dagen. Och Simon hade nog inte fler gitarrer att bränna upp heller xD
Men utöver all misär  så var det en kul dag med gamla bekanta och en jävla massa tråcklande med begränsad yta, mängder med kolsyreis, eld och allehanda roligheter:D Vid nått tillfälle spelade VALKYRJA nånstans i Europa och bilden var på display på en stor ljustavla utanför venuen. Åtminstone i mobilkamerafotot såg det riktigt bra ut :)

Åkermark med en gammal död ek och en övergiven kyrkogård inklusive en najs portal blev bra locations för denna plåtning. Bra dag med bra folk.  Väldigt lite krångel.

UNLEASHED ska ge ut en ny platta och kom på att jag fortfarande inte hade den förra som jag plåtade för. Nu har dom bytt skivbolag till Napalm Records, men Nuclear Blast som gav ut Dawn of the Nine skickade vad dom hade så fick en tröja och ett par CD:n med posten:)

Det fattas en och annan platta fortfarande och tror inte att jag nånsin kommer att få tag på dom alla, men då får det vara så.

Fick vinylen hemskickad av Björn på Carnal Records (Tack som fan!!!).

Synd att jag inte tog bild innan jag öppnade paketet för den var perfekt paketerad så konvolutet inte skulle få fula intryckta hörn. Alltså gott om plats runtomkring men  plattan var väl stabiliserad och i prima skick:))

 

Fantastisk skiva igen från GRÁ och jag har ju hört den ett antal gånger på Spotify, men grymt kul att ha det fysiska exet i sin lilla hand. Bra jobb på omslaget av Axel Torvenius. Bandfotot tog vi i Salem december -17 under lagom mystiska omständigheter:).

 

[Vâsen was recorded during 2017 and 2018 at The Grey Studios, Stockholm.Produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Heljarmadr Productions.CD release 27 April & Vinyl 28 September 2018]

Plåtning i Salem, nån gång innan julen 2017 med ett av mina favoritband: GRÀ. Det hela blev lite improviserat i små utrymmen så det blev lite knepigt med ljussättningen. I slutändan vart det bra ändå tycker jag. Med lite trix och fix:) Killarna i bandet har jag jobbat med förut så annars gick allting väldigt smidigt. Bra folk helt enkelt.
Green screen är inte att leka med xD

 

En bild för plattan (Väsen 2018), ett par promos och nån singelbild var målet. Ska återkomma med lite fler bilder senare.

I can´t say I´m any expert when it comes to this kind of music and was only familiar with a very few of the performing artists, but I was very happy to be there. Loved all the dark stuff, the crowd was really cool and dedicated, nice people in general and the organizers and the crew (including the crew dog Balder who stayed in his own trailer outside the venue) were amazing. And there were always coffee and something to eat :D Met a bunch of old friends and also made a couple of new ones. For me the most memorable performances were by Sephiroth, Mortiis, Ordo Rosarius Eq and In Slaughter Natives, just to single out some.

Due to venue rules I wasn´t allowed to shoot from the pit in the front (because the curtain in the pit and because it would have delayed the bands getting on and off stage. Go figure xD) and trying to bully my way  to the frontline was not an option because that would have been disturbing and annoying for everyone trying to focus on the performances. So I couldn´t really go and explore the space:)) But as always one just have to work with what you´ve got, and in the end get a bunch of crappy pics and some cool ones.
Thanks to everyone involved and here´s some snapshots taken with various of devices.

Havard Ellefsen/MORTIIS – the head troll of Dark Dungeon Music performed “Ånden som gjorde Upprør” (Era 1) with some additions and modifications. Extreme amounts of darkness and smoke. Good for the atmosphere, bad for the pictures:)

“I don’t just want to do the record as it was back in 1994, but rather excavate it from 1994 and drag it into the new light of the current world, while retaining the atmosphere of the original sound,” – Mortiis [bravewords.com]

MORTIIS – The only picture I took backstage. Already made several improvised versions of it just because.Would love to do a real dungeon shoot some day. Such an inspiring character:)

Darkness comes in many forms…
If you’ve ever been into genres like Dark Ambient, Neofolk, Power Electronics or Martial Industrial you surely must have  heard of the legendary label Cold Meat Industry.

“Sophia was first started in 1998 when Peter Bjärgö recorded plenty of songs as a side project to Arcana. Those songs were unfortunately destroyed and the thought of a harscher side project blossomed again in 2000. The first album was recorded with the intention of making songs for a live performance. Together with Per Åhlund, Peter Bjärgö performed a few live shows and in 2001 the first release came out, entitled “Aus Der Welt”. ”  – Band bio

First out often means (at least at metal gigs in Stockholm) that you perform for a handful of people. SOPHIA maybe started that way, but only because a big part of the crowd were still queuing outside waiting to get their wristbands. It started to fill up pretty quickly in front of the stage, tho, so it was quite packed in the venue after awhile.
