KING DIAMOND – Sweden Rock Festival 9/6 2012
The return of KING DIAMOND was THE happening for many people at the SRF. It was an amazing, fantastic, beautiful show and I had the opportunity to stay in the pit and just shoot away ´til the end. I was also one of the few lucky ones who got to take some photos of the band backstage before the show. Got some of them HERE. The beautiful lady is King´s wife Livia Zita. After this one I was kinda worn out, got a couple of beers and sadly missed Cannibal Corpse on the Zeppelin Stage. I love CC live and the plan was to see the gig and take some photos. So sorry, no pics on CC:( Still, I had the best company so didn´t really mind:)

HELL – Sweden Rock Festival 9/6 2012
Pt. 2 of the HELL stalking tour. Sweden Stage at the Sweden Rock Festival quite early the last festival day. A little bit too sunny for them (think they need more darkness & evil), but the guys in the band and the crowd seemed to enjoy themselves very much. I know I did:) Once more a GREAT performance! Hope the HST Pt. 3 works out also…we´ll see in a few weeks;))
