DARK TRANQUILLITY – CLOSE UP BÅTEN 28/3 2019
Last band on day/night 1 on the boat. DT don´t represent “my kind” of metal but a good gig is a good gig! Stayed ´til the end and all of the sudden it was 3.30 in the morning.
There were some delays with a couple of bands earlier so everything was running later than usual. Anyways there´s not too much sleep on the metal cruises in which case so din´t really matter.The band: Stanne, Jivarp, Amott, Brändström, Iwers, & Reinholdz

ROME – Klubben 3/3 2019
ROME I´m way more familiar with. I love the albums but only saw them live once before. Dark, beautiful and very very cool! The first ever ROME album I ever heard was “Flowers from Exile” and it´s still my favourite.
Great evening!!
Some snapshots also below the livepics. Just from the merch area. And a picture of Vlad (DDP):)https://www.rome.lu/

Árstíðir – Klubben 3/3 2019
Always something magical and extra ordinary with the Icelanders (?). New band for me ( “Árstíðir (English: Seasons) is an Icelandic classically influenced indie-folk rock/chamber pop band. The defining characteristic of this band is their vocal harmonies, as all members sing” – all according to WIKI). Beautiful performance and very nice guys:)
Daníel Auðunsson ‐ Guitar, vocals / Gunnar Már Jakobsson ‐ Guitar, baritone guitar, vocals / Karl James Pestka ‐ Violin, viola, electronics, vocals / Ragnar Ólafsson ‐ Piano, baritone guitar, vocals
