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:)

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/

ITERUM NATA – Debaser 14/9 2024
“Where enlightenment and melancholy go hand in hand – Iterum Nata’s heartfelt dark folk music gives comfort for those who roam in the dark. Hailing from Finland, Iterum Nata is a one-man ensemble by Jesse Heikkinen (The Abbey, Hexvessel, Henget). It is a musical journey into the desolate realms where the ghosts of solitude dwell.” – nordvis.com

A better, more detailed post eventually…
AKHLYS – Patricia 3/8 2024
AKHLYS! No support bands.
Was not so familiar with this band, so no expectations what so ever. Because of last minute venue changes the event took place on a partyboat in town.
The organizer & the guys were somewhere in town having dinner and some beers so I went inside, but after awhile, being constantly in someones way, I chose to wait outside on the dock instead. Spent about a half an hour or so listening to the shittiest disco music ever from the party on the top deck. Enough time to get fairly brainwashed before my “saviours” arrived xD
Besides being totally decent people, AKHLYS truly got the proper violent nightmarish feeling to this partyboat and washed my brain right back. Excellent performance!
There are some releases out there but started with the first album “The Dreaming I“ (because of Alexander Emt). Found it on Bandcamp for a couple of days ago. Now I´m stuck with it and can´t move on, it´s way too good. So it´s more or less on loop right now. When I finally get through all there is with AKHLYS ( the latest “House of the Black Geminus” was released just a month ago), I continue with Naas Alcameth´s NIGHTBRINGER. Good times ahead.
Didn´t find any clips from Sthlm but one from Bergen a couple of days earlier.

Mailday x 2 Juli 2024 – Hellbutcher & Maquahuitl vinyler!!
Fick båda redan för en vecka sen men hade saker att avsluta innan jag började riva i paketen. Men nu så!
Två galet bra (och snygga!!) vinyler jag hade fått med posten. Med HELLBUTCHER hade vi en fotodag i januari när dom även spelade in första musikvideon. Så det blev bilder för platta & promo.
MAQUAHUITL (US) kontaktade mig vid nått tillfälle och berättade om den kommande liveplattan. Lät som ett intressant samarbete så jag hakade på:)
Svinbra liveinspelning!
SABBAT – Bar Brooklyn 23/6 2024
“England har VENOM, Sverige har BATHORY och Japan har SABBAT.”
Skitkul att äntligen se SABBAT live när dom redan existerat i 40 år!! Och när Brooklyn inte trycker in en massa discodansare sekunden efter bandet har gått av scenen så är stället rätt najs. Jag var tvungen att dra snabbt så vet inte vad som hände sen men ingen disco på direkten iaf. Ruskigt trevlig spelning och även Martin Carlsson var närvarande iförd i nån superkultig supergammal t-shirt (som bara fanns i ett enda ex) och shorts. Rimligt val för det var slutsålt och svinvarmt i lokalen:))
Super thanx to Henry @ Electric Assault Records!!

MUTATION – Bar Brooklyn 23/6 2024
Sthlms MUTATION har inte funnits så himla länge och hade visst bara spelat live en endaste gång innan detta.
Hur bra som helst med känsla och inlevelse och ett jävla drag.
Än så länge finns det bara en 3 låtars demo på releaselistan men dom är signade på Hells Headbangers så kanske debutplatta inom snar framtid?
Innan giget sprang jag på gitarristen Kevin L. (ex-BEASTIALITY) som jag ville fota för han hade en finfin SACRIFICE tröja på sig. Och bästa Sven (trummisen från ANTICHRIST) som jag nästan inte kände igen utan glasögonen:)) Vokalisten N.S. spelar bas i ATONEMENT och var även en vända i ETERNAL EVIL.
Det är vad jag lyckades hitta så vet inte bakgrunden på alla medlemmarna men shit the same, bra folk!
Tjockt med folk redan från början och ett jävla drag i publiken.
Henke Palm & co DJ´ade.

MYSTICUM – Steelfest 18/5 2024
Perfect ending for the festival!!
“One of the pioneering industrial black metal forces to emerge in the early 90’s, Mysticum brought to the world a completely unique brand of extreme & psychedelic discordant black metal with insane drum machine patterns & synths.”

BLASPHEMY – Steelfest 18/5 2024
10 years since the last (and only) BLASPHEMY gig until now.
Fukken aggressive! Loved it!:D
“Blasphemy was initially formed in 1984 by childhood friends Nocturnal Grave Desecrator and Black Winds and 3 Black Hearts of Damnation and Impurity, joined shortly after by guitarist Caller of the Storms. They went on by various names (including Antichrist and Desaster) before settling for Blasphemy in 1987. Since the early days, the band members quickly established a reputation for violence and criminal activities.”
– E. Metallum
