londonThis colourful and eventful day was coming to and end and ARCHGOAT finally got on stage. Despite the circumstances they showed who´s the boss and gave a great performance.

Found myself a good elevated place to stand on and enjoyed a lot the crazy crowd at the venue. The front row people also offered a helping hand or two when needed.
Then there was the aftermath with all kinds of interesting elements. And ofc the cab ride to our place in Hackney. It took our cab drivers awhile to find the place but eventually we got there and We were starving so I took off with my homies of darkness, Egge and Kai, to the nearest place for a night snack. All hail Percefct Chicken!
~The End ~

P.S.The next day we (me and VALKYRJA) missed our flight home, so we finished the weekend in a proper manner. So we hit the bar for some beers (for the guys)and a extra super vitamine smoothie (for me). Death to posers!

 

P.P.S. For various reasons there will be no Illustrated Roadtrip Report this time. Will attach some snapshots, tho. Huge thanks to both bands for great company!!

londonLong day. Early wake up call, train in many hours Glasgow – London (Nice views!! Lots of sheep:D), straight to the venue (way too long walk to the venue with all the gear) Always kinda cool when organizers care to pick up the bands somewhere. After a long day travelling it´s not on the top of the wishlist to do subways and long walks trying to find the place. Luckily we got full-service Vincent (Gigs in Glasgow) with us so he was in charge. Still, it was a fukken long walk!
VALKYRJA did a great gig! Until there were technical problems and then the microphone died. After some attempts to communicate with the sound booth, just to realize no one was even there, RDSX walked off the stage and the rest of the band followed. Nothing much to do. But at least it was great as long as it lasted:)
And our Vincent had a 10 hr bus drive home to Glasgow and had to leave before this exciting night was even over. Kudos to the guy for all his efforts!!

I´ve seen ARCHGOAT live a couple of times and they´re one of the very best bands out there so I was really excited for the opportunity to travel along with both them and my friends in VALKYRJA for a weekend. The bands already had done lots of touring together so I was the only “outsider”. But everyone was really nice so no problems what so ever. Quite the opposite:) Great times and a freaking awesome performance!

Members: Lord Angelslayer – Bass, vocals Ritual Butcherer – Guitars VnoM – Drums
(also touring with AG: Diabolus Sylvarum adding some atmospheric evil, but staying in the shadows)

Well organized by Gigs in Glasgow. Good venue, good people and very close to the place we stayed at.

 

First VALKYRJA gig I´ve seen with  Rogier RSDX and he was really great!  Different enough in style to A.L. and shitloads of attitude so it wasn´t that hard to get used to  the change of frontman as it can be sometimes. One of my favourite live bands even with this temporary (but not that strange)  line up containing E.L.  replacing Jocke W. on drums and D.G instead of Thelberg on guitar.

Great musicians both of them and they also joined VALKYRJA on the US tour some weeks ago, so all perfect:)

ixxiThis is how to do it! Freaking intense!! Heljarmaðr letting go of the guitar and just go berserk all over the stage. Grim Vindkall (DOMGÅRD etc, live bass) and M (SPAZMOSITY, live guitar) are such perfect additions to the band, so now we  got a proper display of what an awesome band GRÀ really is! Although Heljarmaðr is keeping busy as the vocalist in DARK FUNERAL, these guys should really go for a proper tour. Soon! Book them!! Hangman´s nooses for everyone!!!;)) The crowd were also everything you could wish for, so it was really THE Grande Finale for this fantastic event. Thanks to all the bands, Adrian @ LS and the Myrkheimr´s!
Tried to collect the setlist on Spotify but didn´t find “Klagan och längtan”. So I smoothly replaced it with “Farväl”, my all time favourite;) Works for me. You find it somewhere below.
Members: Heljarmaðr – vocals and strings Dimman – drums Maugrim – strings Grim Vindkall – session bass M – session guitar
Lyrical themes: “The dark aspects of ancient Scandinavian spirituality”

I love IXXI. They always had great performances when I´ve seen them live and this time was no exeption.

 

The frontman, Outlaw also runs Luciferian Society and was responsible for this fantastic evening with five so specific and different bands with their own kind of great qualities. Often that many bands are at least a couple too many, but not this time. It was interesting from beginning to the very end. Also the best metal DJ´s in town were there so it was perfect even in between the live performances. Good stuff only when they hit the decks! Hail Myrkheimr´s!!:)) One of the happy nights for sure!:))

IXXI Members: Outlaw (Vocals), Acerbus (Guitar), Titan (Guitar), Core (Bass), Thunder (Drums)

I thought they were great the first time I saw them at the small Uppsala festival a couple of years ago but now they were amazing!

Can´t wait to see them at Mörkaste Småland in September!! Also they co-operate with the great Nebiros (MALIGN, ex-OFERMOD), one of the greatest bm voices on this planet.

interment
En trött vecka och fortfarande “fel” kamera (min vanliga på lagning i London. Long story). INTERMENT firade släppet av “Scent of the Buried” och spelade på Coppan med TORMENTED och REPUKED. Missade dom sistnämnda men TORMENTED röjde på jävligt bra och INTERMENT giget var fantastiskt! Galet bra band men ljuset var bedrövligt denna gång och inget funkade riktigt, så blev inte så många bilder. Men skitsamma:) Stor tack till banden och Death Kills!! Och Erik Tormentor som gav mig lift hem:)
