The whole “De Mysteriis Dom Satanas”. Freaking amazing!! I still hold the 2006 Gates of Metal show as the best one ever, but this was truly amazing!!! Awesome stage also! Sharon from Toxic Vison made the crosses and Ester (Segarra) did some decoration work with a bunch of ribs:))
[April 2024] Ett litet bidrag till Eskilstunas ALFAHANNE!! Ett av dom bättre livebanden och supernajsa grabbar. Inte metal men befinner sig definitivt på samma “sida”. Dom frågade ifall jag ville bidra med en liten livebild (Nicke) för plattan så jag gjorde det såklart. Dom andra bilderna är från Marco Manzi, Krissy Pederson och Jarle Moe. AlfaPehr fotade av och skickade mig ett par mobilbilder (nedan).
Senare blev samma foto på Niklas omslaget för ALFAHANNE Alive! i samarbete med Rhinorat Recordings från Norge:))
Bilden ifråga är från första giget jag nånsin såg med bandet (på Garage i Bergen, Blastfest 2015). Hade inte lyssnat på dom så mycket heller så tänkte att jag bestämmer mig efter giget vad jag tycker om dom.
Har varit ett stort fan sen dess :D
“Formed in 2010, ALFAHANNE’s debut release came in 2013 with the appearance of the “Grym” split 7” with Sweden’sSHINING.
Playing what the band calls “Alfapocalyptic Rock”, which mixes Black Metal with Classic Rock and Punk, and topped off with some Goth influences, ALFAHANNE has created a style of music that is powerful and beautiful, yet raw and ugly at the same time.“
Dom har sen början samarbetat med en massa metalfolk så på denna platta gästar dom här kungarna
Erlend Hjelvik (Djevel, Kvelertak) Vocals (track 3 Skallerormsgift)
Nattfursth (Sorhin) Vocals (track 1 Alfa kropp alfa blod )
Niklas Kvarforth (Shining) Vocals (track 9 Slutdestination Eskilstuna)
Spellgoth (Horna) Vocals (track 6 Hora (tills du dör) / Huora kuolemaansa)Av och till när det är möjligt så dyker gästvokalisterna även upp på scen på spelningar.

The street metal crazies Mr. Violence, Rob Stringburner, Charley Knuckleduster and Hellcop of GEHENNAH were in town to record the new album with Martin Ehrencrona / Studio Cobra.
We took some photos both in the studio and in the surroundings. Tobias from ENFORCER was there also and helped me to try out some blue lights I was planning to experiment with, but we spent quite a lot of time outside so in the end we were a bit in a hurry to get the final indoor pics done.
They had found a couple of really cool locations close by for the outdoor shots so we took our time.
Pictures for promotion and for the album.
(The featured image (top pic) is a collage some one made for the GEHENNAH webpage. Well made so snatched it xD)“Too Loud to Live, Too Drunk to Die” was released February 12th, 2016. Recorded at Studio Cobra in Stockholm, Sweden in July 2015

Had a good time and some great company with CURSED 13 guys and the fantastic staff at Br. Olssons Garlic & Shots. Especially Matti Into, who worked at the place and was the golden guy who fixed everything needed. Took some pics for the upcoming single “Into Ashes”, and we stayed afterwards for some food and beers.
[January 2024] CURSED 13 are basically the same guys as in GRÁ and it´s still black, but kinda different black.
The band played their last ever show at Mörkaste Småland – Slaktmånad October 2023.
BO G&S got new owners for some time ago and is now run by some guys from CANDLEMASS etc.

The great outdoors with Unleashed. (very) Icy & (very) cold.Pictures for promotion & the album “Dawn of The Nine”
Thankful for warmers & coffee:) The semla season starts way too early these days but we didn´t mind. So we had those also.
It was a shit cold day, so some hours outdoors required some Viking genes for sure. Pro guys! We tried out a couple of locations but forests and lakes didn´t win this time.
Lovely bunch of ppl but it was way too cold to spend any time for goofing about. Just a little bit:)Nuclear Blast are huge and still one of the most photographer friendly labels out there. They sent me first a care package with a couple of CD versions and a T shirt, and later on the vinyl:)

“With their blend of melody and brutality, the warriors of UNLEASHED are credited as the founding fathers of the Viking death metal movement from their inception back in 1989. Twenty-six years later, they have managed to unite the spirit of the Viking tradition with their merciless riffs and epic choruses – melting uncompromising brutality with hymns to Odin.”

GOATESS photo shoot Stockholm April 5th 2014 on the grounds of a former lunatic asylum where they also have their rehearsal studio. Makes sense:D
Great guys to hang out with for a day and after the shoot we had a couple of beers and I got myself a private show when they had the last rehearsal for the upcoming gig at Roadburn. The full setlist from the beginning to the end. Pretty awesome:)
