Amongst other cool merch in the MORTIIS webstore you can find a few posters. This one is a photo I took at the Cold Meat Industry 30 year anniversary festival i Stockholm for about a year ago when he performed the “Era 1 ” set for the first time in ages.

It really does make a great poster:D The “Era 1” show was awesome btw. MORTIIS has done some extensive touring the past year and there´s still concerts coming up if you have missed out. Dates & venues HERE.

I don´t listen to all my music on Spotify but lots of it (also the ones I´ve got as physical copies) because most of the stuff I do is computer based so I´m kinda stuck with it most parts of the day. Then the endless online playlists become really convenient:))
I´ve got some playlists above all which I´m listening to for about 90% of the time and I can share them with you also:) But this is obviously the Top 101 (not in a specific order) from the last years. 9 ½ hours pure joy (almost xD) GRÁ and ARCHGOAT being the top artists. Enjoy!:))

Here you go:

The feeling when something unexpected and very very nice happens:) I have a lots of love for Norway and the people I know there so now I´m taking a moment to give some thanks and promoting the great guys at Norwegian Rat clothing company who just sent me some really great gifts!!  Not just one, but two of their awesome limited edition jackets (the Halvdan Svarte GAAHL´S WYRD one and also the Naglfar edition) and a couple of bags and patches.
All in superb quality and I just LOVE all the details: rat buttons, a paw print here and there, embroideries, inside prints from great Norwegian tattoo artists like Jannicke Wiese-Hansen of Nidhogg Tattoo studio in Bergen (she was also the organizer of the legendary Blekkmetal event in November 2015. N.R. still got some of the festival t-shirts in stock! ) and Dagfinn Bjelland of Karma Tattoo in Haugesund :D
I took some pics to show you (below).

Huge thanks to Thomas, Sølve & Trond! And I think that I have Kirsti R. to thank aswell;))?

“From the east comes Hrym | with shield held high;
In giant-wrath | does the serpent writhe;
O’er the waves he twists, | and the tawny eagle
Gnaws corpses screaming; | Naglfar is loose”

Finally FINALLY I´ve got myself a new tag/logo. Made by my very awesome and talented friend Urban Skytt. He´s mainly this great guitar player (GENERAL SURGERY, REGURGITATE, ex-NASUM,ex-CREMATORY, ex-CRUCIFYRE) but have also made some killer logos for DARK FUNERAL, MASSGRAV, CRUCIFYRE etc and also some really cool album art.
I wanted something simple and old school and got this wooonderful piece with CC vibes. Totally love it!! Hail Urban!!
I´m still using the old one ´til I´m done with the pics i´ve got lying around but changing on the next new ones.

12186606_1056837241023187_3106911039684285689_oThe past week has been almost all about the fire in a club during a metal gig  in Bucharest, where 27 people died on location and about 180  ended up in the hospital.  I´ve been to Romania many times for gigs, festivals and just because and I love the country and my Romanian metal head friends who are the kindest, most generous people ever. Like  the metal community all over the world, they are family. And now they need help! This is far from over and it will be so expensive for both the victims and their families so donations are very much needed. If you can help, you have the information below.

Donations can also be made for individual persons who are in hospital fighting to survive and to get better. I don´t have the information of all of them but all the info should be found on the net (see the links above). Still I need to share the donation information for the great photographer, metalhead and a personal friend, Miluta Flueras who was at the venue, survived but is in hospital with a long way to recovery.

Catalin Doru, the organizer of Dark Bombastic Evening in Alba Iulia, Transylvania, posted a couple of days ago (excerpt):

“You all know Miluta Flueras, right? He is the one always there, next to the stage. Then you see him rushing all over the place, shooting frames, angles, shadows, colors, shapes. You lose him in the crowd just to see him again next to the stage and back again.”

“Miluta needs my help, your help, right now; he needs help from each and every one who has ever met him, from each and every one who has just learnt about his condition. Any donation helps. Solidarity saves lives, so let’s turn now his Little Planet into a Big Planet!
Please transfer your donation to Ana-Maria Gavrila’s account, RO12UGBI0000762002799RON, GARANTI BANK S.A, DrumulTaberei – Bucharest branch, SWIFT CODE UGBIROBU (for international transfers).”
