Doru at the Dark Bombastic is a master when it comes to make these festivals to an experience of a lifetime. DARK BUDDHA RISING was one of those experiences. Very dark, very intense, very hypnotic and very, very beautiful. I wanted to kick everybody who wanted to talk to me during the awesomeness (sorry;)).

WIKI:“Unholy is a Finnish avant-garde doom metalband. Formed in 1988, they were one of the first doom metal groups in their home country”
Probably the very last chance to catch them live. Glad I was there. Thanks guys!
Metal Archives: “Lantlôs is Middle High German and means “homeless” (literally “without homeland”)”.
The only thing I knew about LANTLÔS before DBE was that it was some project by Neige (Alcest) and Herbst. And listened to some of the songs I had on my DBE playlist.
However, Neige isn´t in the band anymore (he was standing in the crowd watching:)). Really cool gig and first ever live performance with the band who was only supposed to be a studio project to begin with. Enjoyed it a lot! Most of it ofc sitting in the grass, drinking beer and loving my life in general. Took some photos, tho:)
The band (every band, really) stayed at the same hotel than me so got to hang a bit with some old & new friends. This Herbst guy was really nice when we spent some time in the lobby smoking and talking shit.

“Alcest – that is music from another world, a world that is real, but that exists beyond ours and cannot be grasped by our senses.”
One of the last year´s highlights, ALCEST, back at the Dark Bombastic grounds in Alba Iulia. Very beautiful, very enjoyable. Neige is a genious, as you know;) (The drummer plays also in Peste Noire!!)

Bonfire night on thursday, friday being the first real festival day at this magical place.
ISOLE from Sweden on stage, now with the most handsome bearded guy Jimmy Matsson (Loch Vostok) on bass;)) (The rest of the guys are also in Ereb Altor).
As many times before, I needed to get abroad to see a band from the neighborhood (Gävle is close enough:)) live for the first time. It almost happened at the Getaway Festival just a month earlier. Just that I got there just in time to hear the very last tones.

The summer festival season is now officially over for me ;( and I got shitloads of pics to sort out (still even from gigs before the festivals). Which, of course, is going to take a while. Or a bit longer…DBE 4 was the greatest possible finale, tho:))
ORANSSI PAZUZU live was a mindblowing experience. One of the best ever! Even when they played before the sunset and all the cool lights were pretty much for no use. They just brought their own darkness to the stage and it totally worked. Such a freakin´good gig!!
“Oranssi Pazuzu makes music that invites all the arsonists and smokers to hold hands”
Line Up: Ontto – Bass, Korjak – Drums, Moit – Guitars, EviL – Keyboards & Percussion, Jun-His – Vocals & Guitars

Mighty BEHEMOTH. The last band to play at P.S.O.A. 2012. Got very few good enough photos…
NAGLFAR is back and the gig was amazing!! And, for me, a proper ending for the last evening. Well, BEHEMOTH played as the last band, but I didn´t see so much of it:) I was asked to take some shots from the stage in the end of the NAGLFAR gig and I also took some fast bandpics backstage. Thanks to lovely Demonia for assistance and the beer:)
