MagnaCult & Shadows Fall – Klubben 14/11 2009
2009-11-14
I went to Klubben only to see Marionette, but once there, I also checked out the next two bands. After Shadows Fall, I went home so I missed the last one. Anyway…here´s some pics.
Marionette – Klubben 14/11 2009
2009-11-14
And now to something totally different….
My friend Alexi (Pivotal Management) from Chicago asked me for awhile ago and if I could go and take some pics on the Marionette gig. He always ask me and I´m very glad he does:) Ever since I saw the band for the first time, I´ve loved them! Marionette is a GREAT liveband and I love the two albums they´ve made.
So if you are in to brutal, beautiful music with some good speed and brilliant melodies check them out!! This time they got only about 20-25 minutes on the stage and as the first band out, there were not so many people yet. Unfair, I think. The lights were a struggle as usual but with some help from Tintin, I could get some ok pics. And some….not so ok. But get to see all kinds as usual;))
Bombs of Hades @ RIFS Fest 7/11 2009
2009-11-07
The last band at RIFS was Bombs of Hades (love the name. So cool!!:) from Västerås. Didn´t do my homework, so many of the bands playing this weekend, were bands I didn´t know so much about so I thought it could be quite exciting. And it turned out to be better I ever imagined. The whole idea having this festival was based on the release of a (limited) compilation vinyl called Resurrected In Festering Slime. Most of the bands on the compilation also played on this festival. BIG thanks to Andrés (Darkcreed), Sophie and Peter who made this great event happen!! Andrés also jumped in for one song with Bombs of Hades (Jaws of Satan) I had a great time and I do hope this wasn´t the last time I saw these great bands. And I sure hope I get the chance to see those two bands I missed…Feral and Morbus Chron….someday soon!!!
Crucifyre – RIFS Fest 7/11 2009
2009-11-07
My good, and most respected, friend Erik Tormentor has been rehearsing with this band Crucifyre for awhile, but I never heard one track and I don´t think they´ve ever played live before (correct?). I really didn´t know what to expect, but I really enjoyed the stuff very much. Pondus & stjärnglans!!
Fuck you! Hail Satan! (send up that track on MySpace, will you??!!;)).
Stench – RIFS Fest 7/11 2009
2009-11-07
Stench includes a couple of guys from the amazing Tribulation (who made one of the BEST albums 2009 – The Horror and got the same maniac blonde on guitar). Really good death metal all the way!! The downside was that I didn´t get one good pic on the drummer. Sorry ´bout that. I´ll do better next time.

Tormented – RIFS Fest 7/11 2009
2009-11-07
Of course I arrived late and missed the first band:( But either way, I did see/hear some extremely good stuff!! First out was Tormented from the same parts of the country than the great Facebreaker. Too bad Roberth (Tormented, Facebreaker, Scar Symmetry) was on tour somewhere in Europe with Scar Symmetry and couldn´t show up. I was a bit sad for awhile, then I heard that one of Sthlms finest, Tobbe Sillman, would be filling in with the bass. That Sillman boy is really everyplace these days??;) I´m not complaining…he´s great whatever instrument he´s demolishing at the time.
Mr. Death – RIFS Fest 6/11 2009
2009-11-06
Last band out this evening. I just saw Mr. Death for a week ago and I really could see them once a week…no problem;) If/when I get rich, I will hire them as my houseband:) My neighbours would love that!!! AWESOME gig!!
MAIM – RIFS Fest 6/11 2009
2009-11-06
Fantastic MAIM!! Another great band I didn´t know anything about before this gig. Really nice surprise…and a band I most likely would go and see again!
Line-up: Krille- guitar Scott- guitar Rikard- bass Otto- drums
CHRONIC TORMENT – RIFS Fest 6/11 2009
2009-11-06
Got a BIG bunch of pics from these two nights to take care of, so I will skip the poetry…
Anyway the first band I saw on the RIFS Fest was Chronic Torment from Gothenburg. I was wondering a bit about the keyboards at first…then it made sense;) Good gig with some epic stuff. And lots of thanks for the CD guys!! :)
Torture Division – Kafé 44 31/10 2009
2009-10-31
The last band of the evening was TORTURE DIVISION. First time for me to see them live but I got these high expectations after all I heard about them. So… just when you thought the evening couldn´t get any better, it did. Absolutely amazing! And absolutely dangerous to even try to get some pics from infront of the stage. It wasn´t even worth trying;) TD also played a couple of songs with the great guitarists Tobbe Sillman from Vicious Art (on Eld och plågor) and Mange from Insision (on Into the grave). Club Distortion rules!! Always!!
Lord K Philipson, Tobben Gustafsson, Jörgen Sandström, Magnus Martinsson
