Lite annorlunda upplägg denna kväll. Heljarmadr fick  seriösa hälsoissues och hamnade på sjukhus i Chile.

 

GRÁ hade två inbokade gig i Grekland och i Sthlm som han inte kunde delta i, så efter snabb överläggning med gitarristen Niklas E. & dom övriga kom man överens om att inte ställa in, utan att Niklas skulle hoppa in som vokalist också. Funkade skitbra. Mannen ifråga har redan vanan inne från bla Godhead Machinery (note: Oscar från Avslut är trummis i GM) och framförallt så hade han en röst som faktiskt funkade ned GRÀ´s specifika material.

Sen var det ju bara att lite snabbt lära sig alla lyricsen xD Simon Desekrator (Voodus, Stormdeath osv) blev inlånad som gitarrist så nytt sammanhang för honom också:)
Dimman & Vediger är ju alltid stabila som berget så det blev riktigt bra ändå. Förutom att ingen kunde styra upp monitorerna fram varken under GRÀ giget eller för nästföljande NIGHT CROWNED. tekniska problem är inte direkt sällsynta, men störigt när ljudet glappar för mycket:/. Men bortsett från det, så var det ett bra gig.

 

Line up för eventet: Vocals, guitar: Niklas, Guitar: Simon Desekrator, Drums: Dimman, Bass: David Vediger

Five bands so an early start. And as always, I arrived a couple of hours before doors opened so quite a long evening. A fantastic one, tho.

 

VOODUS, great as always (love the new single and the upcoming album “Emanating Sparks” is planned for release in early 2024). Guest vocalist Simon W. from VALKYRJA.

 

MALAKHIM being the only band I never saw before so didn´t know what to expect. Had heard good things from my friends, tho, and the Umeå bunch delivered big time! Hopefully I´ll get to see them again some day.

 

Only seen MORTUUS once for many years ago and got such high hopes. Still one of the greats to see live (Vlad from VALKYRJA on bass). Latest album “Diablerie” was released in -22. » MORTUUS Setlist

 

MEPHORASH performance was the best I´ve seen so far with the guys. They played the whole new album (with live choir) from first to last song.
From the event page: “In celebration of Mephorash’s long-awaited fifth release KRYSTL-AH, the band invites you to join a very special ceremony. The band will perform its new opus to usher in a new era of Mephorash with new aesthetic and new rituals. Each song on the upcoming album is recorded with a full choir, and the same choir will perform the album live at Slaktkyrkan on November 18th.” Sadly no picures of the choir but they deserve a special mention because they truly heightened the experience.

 

TAAKE awesome as always! Guest appearance by Pehr and Niklas from ALFAHANNE. One of the bands I could never get tired of seeing live.
Overall a super event. So far no luck finding live clips of all the bands but Eriks klipp uploaded at least a couple.

 

Huge thanks to all the bands and Adde / Luciferian Society for this one!:))

Anyways…my second Steelfest was pure awesomeness once again. For many, many reasons but most important ones: Great bands, great gigs, no nonsense @ good company.
Hugest thanks to Jani Steelfest, all the staff – especially my brightly shining coffee lady & pickle queen Johanna S., my flatmates (well…need to have a place to stay next year also. Need to play nice;)), everyone I met old & new friends & acquaintances. Aaaaaaaand the weather!!:D
If you for some reason have missed it for this long, the next dates are set: 16 to 18th of May 2024. All bands still TBA but expect nothing else than a perfect fest.

Hope you made it to this years fest but the dates are set for next year so you´ll get a new chance xD

I´ve seen these guys many times (latest was just a week or so ago in Finland) and they have always been great. Still, they can take it up a notch every now and then and this gig was for sure one of those with extra everything. Crazy & sweaty kick ass show!!:D

“Lucifer’s Child is an unholy creation of George Emmanuel (Rotting Christ, ex-Chaostar) and Stathis Ridis (Nightfall) based in Athens, Greece, formed in 2013. The band’s music serves a spiritual introduction to the atmospheric world of Black Metal. Pulsating the energy of ritualistic lyrics and the horrifying electrism of black music, Lucifer’s Child create a unity between the sound and the spiritual idea that each creation serves to the listeners” – Band bio

Killer performance!! First time ever I saw LUCIFER´S CHILD live but had some high expectations and this band is really good! Met George the last time when he was still in Rotting Christ, so it was fun to catch up a bit. He´s keeping busy with the band and the recording studio. Hope it doesn´t take too long until next time.

Brazilian guys first out this evening. A new band for me.

One of the greatest at this festival!

Not spoiled with livegigs with these guys (only the second time ever) and both times they were absolutely brilliant! Last time was at the same festival but indoor stage and now playing as the last band outdoors, which suited them very well. Huge crowd and just freaking amazing performance! All hail Lauri Werwolf.
The first time I even listened to SATANIC WARMASTER was in a car travelling from Barcelona to Madrid for a second WATAIN / SHINING show on the trip(2011?). “Where Eternity Awaits”…#neverforget. Still one of the favourites.

“Never one to find rest however, especially in peace, Lord Nosferatus (who has since transformed his ritual name to R. Nattefrost) restless spirit has led him to venture deeper downward and continue to torment the world with further evil endeavors. Crowning his side bands WORLD DESTROYER, HATEPULSE, BLOODLINE and GRIMM is his solo project and most unforgivable sin, the aptly titled NATTEFROST. This allowed him to be freed of the boundaries of being in a band and to do, “Whatever the fuck I wanted… total necro and narrow minded black metal!”” – Bio @ Season of Mist

 

Fukken Roger Nattefrost! The whole band wore ribbon badges and I asked why. So, those were for being a National Treasure xD

 

Awesome and highly entertaining performance  and definitely one of the highlights of this fest!
A long career with a huge amounts of chaos beats newfangled regulated bullshit anytime!  Also, Roger is awfully nice:)
