The reason why I ended up at the  Crooked Horns in Lindesberg were the guys in LAMIA ANTITHEUS. They asked me for a month ago if I could tag along with them and I think I promised to do so. And then I forgot all about it…;)
Linus Letheus called and reminded me about it the day before, so I had to get in touch with Daniel (“Framed Noice” Falk), who was on his way to  Sthlm and my place in between the Arvika and Rockweekend festivals. He did fine without me being at home, so no harm done:)  Anyway, Linus picked me up early in the morning, and after a couple of hours and passing many, many sheep pastures (??), we arrived in Lindesberg.  The band did some soundchecking, and after that  we went to the  local pizzaplace for some  lunch.  Enjoyed my day out very much, so thanks guys:)
Here´s some Lamia A. backstage action (more pics right HERE):

crookedaff I do love undeground festivals. Lots of bands playing 2-3 days, GREAT performances,  no agelimit and it´s very cheap. Still there´s  almost nobody there. WHY is that??  Summer is generally a bad time for smaller events, I think.  There´s so many  events & festivals all over the place.
Anyway, these kind of festivals are a good way to  find new and interesting bands.
Now, this one was on a sunday, which was the third and last day of the festival. There were some more people on friday and saturday, but not so many as it should have been. The line-up was a good mix  of new and more established bands, it was cheap and the venue…well…quite suitable for this kind of events;).
One of the guys keeping it all together was the Vemoth vocalist Behemiron who also was kind enough to provide me with one of their new band t-shirts. Appreciated it a lot;).
Vemoth were also one of the bands playing earlier at the festival.

There´s a new chance for you in august when the KRIS Festival is hitting Lindesberg. Lots of qualitymetal for 50kr/day.

Some of the bands on last day of Crooked Horns:
» Monochrome Fear
» Brute
» Misericordia

My Japanese friends Takashi and Miho came to Stockholm and we went to Gröna Lund to see Hardcore Superstar. Takashi saw them back in ´06 in Hiroshima and thought it would be really nice to see them again:) Funny weather, though. First it was quite ok and a bit later I was freezing my ass off. REALLY cold winds.
We met Anders and Sasha and tagged along to some pub after the show. We also met Yayoi, AKA “Shield”, from Tokyo. Still wonder how she could find me that day:) Hopefully I´ll be meeting her again when I´m going to Tokyo in october…HCSS is not a band I usually go and see, but I enjoyed the show very much. Really fun band to see live:) Pleased with some of the pics also. Never applied for a photopass, just took some shots while standing in the crowd and watching the show with my friends.

Karin (Sonic Syndicate) told me for awhile ago that she will be on the cover of the new Crafton catalog with her Ibanezbass.  Some photo I took when they played in Stockholm last time. I got the catalog in the mail the other day and found one of my livepics on Roger (guitar) also:)  All in good company of a couple of photos taken by my friends Daniel “Framed Noice” Falk and Micke J.  Quite ugly photoshopwork  with the cover, though…but who cares:)

The great Raise Hell was the last band to play at the first ever STHLM Thrashfest. Fantastic evening all together, so hats off for Marcus & Eric who worked really hard to make everything happen on such a short period of time. From an idea to the final result on just in a month or so…think that´s pretty amazing. And they´re already planning for the next one:)

Another great band on the STHLM Thrashfest bill – Construcdead.
First time ever I saw them live, actually. They are, by the way, working on an new album right now.
Liked “Violadead” and the EP which came out for a couple of years ago. Haven´t heard the latest, though…
Got to get updated before the new one is released…good stuff.

The first STHLM Thrash Festival ever at Nalen, Stockholm and I was invited!!  So, thanks a lot, Erik & Marcus!! I had a really good time:) And thanks Fabz for the coffee! You´re a hero & lifesaver!

And I quote:
STHLM Thrashfest 09 is the first Stockholm Thrash Festival and will take place on the 30th of May in the respectable venue of Nalen in central Stockholm (Regeringsg 74). The event is arranged by the musicians themselves in order to sift through all the bullsh*t and give Stockholm quality metal by the pounds at an affordable price and at a better venue than thrash/death normally is given access to.

I  went to the venue after running around and taking pics on the Zombiewalk earlier in the day.  It was hours before they even opened the doors, so I just could take it easy and take some random pics while waiting for the whole thing to begin.
Sterbhaus was the opening band, so I begin with their pics. First time a saw them live…great gig and a great start of  the evening! And I´ll try to speed it up a bit with the rest of the pics…;)

The first gig in a long time and it happened to be a really fantastic one! Got to see Facebreaker again along with two other greats: Demonical and Torture Killer. The bands started out their European tour at Kafé 44 and the next stop were Eldfesten in Köping. That´s not so far and the plan was that I tag along with the bands right after the gig. However I didn´t want to stay in a hotel after the festival and I couldn´t find anybody driving to Stockholm at 2AM, so I had to pass. Hope they have a great tour.
Adrian & the Luciferian Society with staff did a great job and made a perfect evening! A very special thanks to Björn who works at the venue. He´s an amazing guy who always looks after me:)
Need more Deathmetal…soon.
