“After playing together in different irrelevant extreme metal bands since they were about 12 years of age, and after in one of these constellations rehearsing a cover of the Running Wild classic “Black Demon”, the two came to the conclusion that what they really wanted to do was to play that same kind of timeless heavy metal, being the most elevated form of music there ever was” – http://www.portraitmetal.com

PORTRAIT!! The last amazing band on this fabulous evening.

Wanted to see them live for so long and they should have played on the last SR Cruise, but something happened and they didn´t. Oh well….ENFORCER played instead, so it worked out fine. Both Richard and Christian from the band were on the boat as always. Christian in the merch shop and Richard…dunno if he had any specific function on this trip. Else than being my cabin mate:) Nice  guys! Anyway, the gig was even better than I expected. Lots of action, great songs and really cool vocalist. Nalen Klubb is a small venue but has one of the best sound guys in town. I think it sounds really good every time I´m there. Can´t say the same of all the venues here. And thinking of all the small clubs I´ve been to over the years…

I´m sometimes whining about the state of things in Sweden and Stockholm, but this is still a fukken great place to live in and get spoiled with all these great gigs. Especially these days when we are blessed with the Püssy a Go Go crew. I love you!! I do!!:D

The hard part this night was to stay awake all night and take the plane to Finland early in the morning. But that also worked out fine. Good life:))

I do like these metal cruises. Haven´t been on one since April 2010 (the first time I saw DEVIL´S BLOOD!)) so I guess it was about time. Mostly shot the gigs and not so much of the other stuff. But here´s some. Already decided to go on the next one on the spring, no matter which bands there´s going to be. Blind Guardian are booked so far, but I´m sure there will also be something for me;) Highlights: meeting the HELL guys and some from MERCILESS & MORBID members. And ofc lots of old friends:))
