Photo shoot in Stockholm at an abandoned subway tunnel in the end of March 2014.

The reason for getting a bunch of new photos was the “new” vocalist Anders Strokirk (in the band 1992-1994 = The Nocturnal Silence) When I went to the shoot, i had no idea who the new vocalist would be. So cool surprise and concidering the circumstances, the best possible choice to get Anders back in the band again.
Lots of heavy graffiti to remove from the pictures but I´m quite happy how they turned out:) NECROPHOBIC made the announcement of Andreas return on their Facebook the 4th of April 2014.

 

Members: Anders Strokirk – Vocals Alexander Friberg – Bass Fredrik Folkare – Lead & Rhythm Guitar Joakim Sterner – Drums

I was booked to document a video shoot with to me unknown band called LifeR. Had an awesome day with the guys and my friend Bergman (man.machine.industry) who was the director of the vid. We were hanging out in a huge old paint factory with lots of possibilities. Too bad they demolished the place some time after.

COLOSSUS from Stockholm play Progressive Stoner/Sludge Metal since 2008, according to Metal Archives.
A photo shoot in THE library in Sthlm wasn´t exactly the easiest. For several reasons. We had to be quiet, stay out of the way etc. So no playing around.

We did some try out pictures but the only ones working for the purpose were taken in the entrance which looks a bit like an egyptian grave vault:D

Ett av dom plattorna som jag inte har själv så snodde (dom flesta)  bilderna på nätet. Bidrog med en livebild på Joseph (Toll) som togs på Muskelrock 2012. Gillar den bilden rätt mycket själv och hade flera liknande, men speciellt en av dom hade jag postat omkring rätt mycket så antar att dom ville ha nån som inte hade synts redan till överdrifter. Dom andra livebilderna är tagna av Maija Lahtinen (nuförtiden Ajomo) och Rui Soares. 
ENFORCER inspelningar har jag inte lyssnat på sådär galet mycket, för håller mig rätt strikt på den extrema sidan när det kommer till hårdrock/metal, men har sett flera gigs och dom är alltid ett satbra liveband! Bra folk i bandet också så hade inga problem att medverka i detta:)

The guys in TORMENTED don´t live in town so we scheduled the shoot when they were playing a gig here. Also the venue worked out well being an Old Town basement and all. So we did some shooting for promo and album [Death Awaits 2013] The album gatefold picture is a shot we took later in the dressing room and the one on the back cover is from the actual shoot. Some of the pics made themselves useful as promotional ones.

Har bara en pytteliten (klippt & rätt sugig) bild på bästa Agressor på plattan men likaväl är jag med i creds /tacklista med en massa legender som Gylve Fenriz, Håkon G., Costin C.,  Neseblod Rec. osv.

Massa roligheter att hitta i  texterna till omslaget. Sponsordelen var nog insider humor men kul ändå xD

 

AURA NOIR är högt upp på min lista av världens bästa band så stor grej i vilket fall. Nånstans i samma veva pratade jag och Ole Jørgen / Apollyon lite löst om ev bandfoto, men det fanns inga resurser för dylikt. Även fast vi hade en del innovativa lösningar till att göra det så snålekonomiskt som möjligt. Bla gratis IKEA bussar nämndes och även samma bolags 5 kronors korvar. Men nä, ingen tur till Norge för mig.
Plattan givetvis grym som alla Aura plattor och fick en hemskickad så smått.

 

Agressorbilden är tagen på Getaway 2011 i Gävle. Addar några  bilder från det giget & resten är HÄR.

Full-length. Release date: March 23rd  2012. Label: Indie Recordings

Some pictures for staff of the new club Püssy A Go Go. The first time I met them at Debaser Slussen, Stockholm (In Solitude + Reveal gig)

 

Later Lisa and Alexandra got an own place in The Liffeys basement in Old Town and had some legendary years there. Many of the best gigs I´ve ever seen was at that place. Or Nalen Klubb, the main Nalen and a couple of other places they used for some specific gigs @ events.

 

The unofficial opening for the basement was with Fester (swe), General Surgery + Nirvana 2002 the 4th of August 2012. The were still some job to do at the venue but the sound worked so all good:)) P.A.G.G. later evolved to Tänk På Döden, Black Harvest and Bored To Death Bookings and continued to be responsible for shitloads of great events.

COFFINS promo/album shoot for “The Fleshland“ (2013) in Koiwa, Tokyo November 2011. Just a quick shoot in a rehearsal studio cross the street from Koiwa Bush Bash, the venue for “Koiwa Deathfest” where the band played later the same day. The vinyl version doesn´t contain any photos but the CD does. Uchino sent me both anyways:) Great album!
