WORMWOOD – Nordfest 2024
“Wormwood is a Swedish metal band whose music might be tricky to define due to their wild mix of styles and influences.
The listener will come across plenty of genres within extreme metal – eerie atmospheres, folk vibes, straight garage rock with an attitude & soothing harmonic passages.
The most significant ingredient is the melody – all seasoned with a big scoop of Scandinavian melancholy and dreamy soundscapes.“

TYRANT – Nordfest 2024
Hittade inget klipp (ännu) från Sundsvall men addar den fantastiska “Reclaim The Flame” från 2007 & ett najs liveklipp (by Ángel Kêrberos) från PSOA 2008
“When others talk about perfectionism, we talk about simplicity.
When others talk about beautifying, we talk about uglifying.
Sometimes it’s right to be wrong.” – D.F.Bragman / TYRANT – July 2007
KVAEN – Nordfest 2024
“From the very beginning, Änterbila was meant to serve as an outlet for Jerff’s historical interest, especially that of bygone Scandinavia. A prime example of this is the band name. An änterbila is a boarding axe – a combined weapon and tool used in sea battles to board enemy ships – developed by the Swedish navy in the 1700s. Another example can be found in the thematic content of “Änterbila”. Growing up as an avid book-reader who spent a lot of time at museums, Jerff was intrigued by tales about ‘statare’: a term for agricultural contract-workers, such as farmhands, who were given accommodation and food instead of a salary. The system reached its peak in the 19th century and continued until its abolishment in 1946.”

Mailday! Massive box from Macken Bryggeri!!!!
Straight from Insta:
(just a quick snapshot. More about this one later @ www.extremmetal.se)
Got this surprise gift from Andres @ @macken_bryggeri the other day. A massive box (around 4 kg of weight) with a high quality book with the whole beer odyssey in text and pictures (music & film also), a pop up book and a double vinyl with all the involved artists/bands. The Grande Finale of many years of dedication.
I only had some involvement in the very beginning about 10 years ago, so this was totally unexpected. Thanks a lot Andres:)
Still some available @ https://mackenbryggeri.bigcartel.com
KING DUDE – Debaser 14/9 2024
“Initially starting as a side-project in 2009 or so, King Dude has gone on to find world-wide acclaim across genres; with multiple world tours and leagues of devoted fans. Some fans have even gotten tattoos of the group’s logo which is the Nauthiz rune, or the acronym L.T.L.O.T.W. — meaning Lucifer’s The Light Of The World – the title of one of King Dude’s most popular songs, from their 2011 album Love (Dais Records).” – interview 2023 @ theaither.com/
