First time ever I saw Kongh live. Better than I expected…really good, actually. They got a bit more lights on the stage than Tribulation and my lens was still working. Have to check how the videos worked out…
David Johansson (V,G) Oscar Rydén (B), Tomas Salonen (D)
Blod & Svärd w. Kongh & Tribulation@Midsommargården. Really cool so I even bought a t-shirt:) Also the strangest night for a long time…weird things happened. I also broke my lens in the middle of the Tribulation gig when Adam (one of the guitarrists) got some lights on him for the first time, so not many pics of him. He was mostly standing in the dark.
Love the band, though. Could see them once a week, really:) The lens I brought wasn´t my usual giglens, but a 50/1.8 and that one really isn´t my favourite at gigs, because it doesn´t got any wideangle what so ever. So in small venues the range is very limited and not a good choice.
Not for me anyway because I don´t like that kind of photos. Still, it´s very small and lightweight. And now it´s broken. The venue itself was quite a nice hangout with cheap beer but it didn´t really sound any good when the bands were playing. In may I´m going to another gig at the same place so hope It will be better then.
Odenwrath got really unfortunate and had problems with disappearing guitarsounds almost through the whole gig. Still, they seemed to be in quite a good mood and just mangled on. Have to give them lots of kudos for that:) Hope I get a new chance to see them. Ninnuam were great!! They´ve changed parts of the line up since I saw them the last time (-06) but they were still as good as I remembered. Have to check out the newer material…sounded really good.
I was really curious about This Ending after checking out their latest album on Spotify. I won´t even start bitching about the lights, but i can´t get the pics I´d like to anymore and I´m getting a bit tired of even trying to photograph at The Cave. It used to really like the stage there. Anyway, I get a new chance with This Ending at the STHLM Thrashfest@Nalen in May!! Lots of great bands on the bill!!:) Can´t wait!!

The fabulous Switch Opens@the Club Distortion 5 year anniversary. Better than ever!! And I love the new stage at Anchor!!
SWITCH OPENS:Anders Bartonek – drums Tomas Bergstrand – guitar Jesper Skarin – bass & vocals Mikael Tuominen – guitar
The Kings of Voodoo Rock´n´Roll, the main reason I ended up at this place. Wanted to see them live for a long time now and thanks to Patrick (who also filmed and directed the new O-Kult video City of Sin) and SL (only slightly delayed traffic) I finally got away. Lots and lots of technical difficulties, but the crowd were in a good mood and didn´t really mind. I wish them best of luck with the new album!
Both bands celebrated their albumrelease at Lois. Order of Isaz´ got the most impressive line up with past and present in bands like bands like Therion, Tiamat and Necrophobic. So, I´m namedropping a bit:
Tobias Sidegård – Lead Vocals and guitar
Johnny Hagel – Bass
Magnus Barthelson – Guitar
Anders Lord – Drums & percussion
Sorry to say, the pics didn´t turn out that impressive. Didn´t really get the quality or feeling I was looking for. So, I guess I have to go and take some new someplace soon:)
The video “Drowning” is directed by Carlos Aguilar (Black Shadows)
Koldbrann from Drammen / Oslo in Norway, the last band for the evening.
Having a hard time to find some pics I´d be happy with…anyway, here´s some on MISTUR from Sogndal, Norway.
