Amazing gig!!
Had a really long day with a few hours photoshoot in Old Town and then I just got stuck at the venue since 5PM doing nothing. Still, I was taken good care of thanks to the Püssy a Go Go crew (the first time I met them) and all the others at Debaser, so I was really doing ok watching the soundchecks and having some good food and a couple of beers:) Bought a t-shirt and my first patch ever. Have to figure out where to do with those. Maybe on a bag or smthng…suggestions? Anyway, the evening was a great one, the venue packed with people and IN SOLITUDE were so good!! Didn´t take any pics of the cool & beautiful people, Just shot the concerts, but I had a fast “promoshoot” with the club owners. Some of those coming up as soon I finished some other stuff.

Some pictures for staff of the new club Püssy A Go Go. The first time I met them at Debaser Slussen, Stockholm (In Solitude + Reveal gig)

 

Later Lisa and Alexandra got an own place in The Liffeys basement in Old Town and had some legendary years there. Many of the best gigs I´ve ever seen was at that place. Or Nalen Klubb, the main Nalen and a couple of other places they used for some specific gigs @ events.

 

The unofficial opening for the basement was with Fester (swe), General Surgery + Nirvana 2002 the 4th of August 2012. The were still some job to do at the venue but the sound worked so all good:)) P.A.G.G. later evolved to Tänk På Döden, Black Harvest and Bored To Death Bookings and continued to be responsible for shitloads of great events.

REVEAL from Uppsala, the town of a million great bands. A new band for me but an immediate success:) Weird, beautiful and intense liveshow…can´t describe it in another way. Found the album (Nocturne of Eyes and Teeth) on Spotify. Check it out so you know what I´m talking about.

Photo shoot with SERPENT OBSCENE ( 1997 – 2006) in April 2005. Shot the outdoor pics at an old (abandoned) tuberculosis hospital and some sandpits. For the indoor shots we occupied the local youth centre. We also used their smoke machine…
Additional note: The pizzaplace where we went for lunch made pentagrams in bearnaise on the pizzas m/.
One of the smoky pics ended up on the album “Chaos Reign Supreme” (cover art made by the great Joe Petagno) and the whatever pics on the album are also by me.
The band split up after releasing the album and I´m still not over it!!

Got a home delivery of some albums for a week or so ago. Klas from DESULTORY came by and gave me a copy of the “Counting Our Scars” LP and also a couple of CD:s, “Into Eternity” with the “From Beyond” (demo ´90) as bonus. I also got “Bitterness” with “Death Unfolds” (demo ´90) & “Visions” (demo ´91) as bonus. Great stuff indeed!!:)) The CD version of “Counting Our Scars” HERE.

A small but ohh so fun private party for some invited guests. Cheap beer & booze, two great sets with OZ and really nice people. Couldn´t go wrong:)) They also got a couple of young supportbands (Kids In Love & Lipz) and some silly competition (never really got what it was all about, but it was kinda funny.
Singing and OZ t-shirts were involved.) The great Messiah Marcolin (ex-Candlemass) joined in for a couple of songs (“Black Night” and “Fire In The Brain”) during the second OZ set. Jay c. Blade played the first set, but stepped aside and let his stand in Johannes handle the bass in the second one. Jay himself had a beer and just enjoyed the show with the rest of us.

Met up with my friend Mike for a couple of reasons (besides the fact I still hadn´t visited his tattoo shop!!). For one, he got himself some new photo gear and he wanted me to come over for a play day testing the new stuff. The second reason…I think I got myself a good base for indoor band shoots:) I can use the tattoo shop´s back room when ever I need to, and because of the great location (Old Town, Stockholm.), there´s also a million good spots for the outdoor photos. So big thanks to Mike and the artists at ZOI Tattoo for being nice and wanting me there:) The deal also includes great benefits for “my” bands and the friends of extreMMetal.se. But more of that later…

Sebastian (Rojas) in TERMINAL PROSPECT contacted me for a few months ago and we started talking about finding a date for a photo shoot.
We had already booked a day in November last year, but for the first time I had to cancel due to my trip to Japan. But we made it finally and had a fun afternoon at their rehearsal studio and the nearby surroundings. Of course with food and coffee breaks!!
The guys were great fun to work with so it was a good day:) No albums yet, only a few “Making of…” pics. Some by me and some by my wonderful assistant Johanna.

Some misc. pics from the latest M.M.I. shoot at Trappers MC headquarters in Gnesta. The very first photo shoot of  2012. We all had a really pleasant stay there (and free coffee!!), so thanks a lot to our hosts:) And I loved all the Harleys…
I´ve been working with the band many times before, but now there´s a completely new line-up: Jimmy Bergman – guitar, Zoomlander (Pontus!!!) – bass, Berget – vocals/guitar and Bennich – drums.
The former bass player Nail also dropped by to check things out.
