I worked for this festival the first two  years (as the official photographer) and loved it.

It used to be a really nice one but now there was a totally different feel all over it (new owners, new order). Oh well…didn´t stay that long anyway.

 

Had a really nice roadtrip with my friends in OZ and I didn´t go hungry or without coffee;))  Didn´t make it to the ISOLE gig, only heard the last tones when were carrying stuff to the dressing room.  That sucked, but I´ll get to see them in august instead:) The OZ gig was great fun as always!! A bit hard to shoot time to time, but I still loved the lights. Great crowd also:)) Met quite a many friends and other cool people in that short time at the festival and also got my new extreMMetal armband from Tommy @ Tom Leatherarts!!

 

He does some great leatherwork so check out his pages!! Shot the whole gig so lots of pics:)

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:)

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;))
