Per (plays or played in bands like Kamchatka, Spiritual Beggars, Opeth, Candlemass) stopped by for some weeks ago for some press pictures to promote his first ever solo album ‘Head Without Eyes’.

UNLEASHED ska ge ut en ny platta och kom på att jag fortfarande inte hade den förra som jag plåtade för. Nu har dom bytt skivbolag till Napalm Records, men Nuclear Blast som gav ut Dawn of the Nine skickade vad dom hade så fick en tröja och ett par CD:n med posten:)
Det fattas en och annan platta fortfarande och tror inte att jag nånsin kommer att få tag på dom alla, men då får det vara så.
Fick vinylen hemskickad av Björn på Carnal Records (Tack som fan!!!). Synd att jag inte tog bild innan jag öppnade paketet för den var perfekt paketerad så konvolutet inte skulle få fula intryckta hörn. Alltså gott om plats runtomkring men plattan var väl stabiliserad och i prima skick:))
Fantastisk skiva igen från GRÁ och jag har ju hört den ett antal gånger på Spotify, men grymt kul att ha det fysiska exet i sin lilla hand. Bra jobb på omslaget av Axel Torvenius. Bandfotot tog vi i Salem december -17 under lagom mystiska omdtändigheter:).

Plåtning i Salem, nån gång innan julen 2017 med ett av mina favoritband: GRÀ. Det hela blev lite improviserat i små utrymmen så det blev lite knepigt med ljussättningen. I slutändan vart det bra ändå tycker jag. Med lite trix och fix:) Killarna i bandet har jag jobbat med förut så annars gick allting väldigt smidigt. Bra folk helt enkelt.
En bild för plattan (Väsen 2018), ett par promos och nån singelbild var målet. Ska återkomma med lite fler bilder senare.

men man fick bara anpassa sig bäst det gick..
I can´t say I´m any expert when it comes to this kind of music and was only familiar with a very few of the performing artists, but I was very happy to be there. Loved all the dark stuff, the crowd was really cool and dedicated, nice people in general and the organizers and the crew (including the crew dog Balder who stayed in his own trailer outside the venue) were amazing. And there were always coffee and something to eat :D Met a bunch of old friends and also made a couple of new ones. For me the most memorable performances were by Sephiroth, Mortiis, Ordo Rosarius Eq and In Slaughter Natives, just to single out some.
Due to venue rules I wasn´t allowed to shoot from the pit in the front (because the curtain in the pit and because it would have delayed the bands getting on and off stage. Go figure xD) and trying to bully my way to the frontline was not an option because that would have been disturbing and annoying for everyone trying to focus on the performances. So I couldn´t really go and explore the space:)) But as always one just have to work with what you´ve got, and in the end get a bunch of crappy pics and some cool ones.
Thanks to everyone involved and here´s some snapshots taken with various of devices.
Before it all started…
Havard Ellefsen/MORTIIS – the head troll of Dark Dungeon Music performed “Ånden som gjorde Upprør” (Era 1) with some additions and modifications. Extreme amounts of darkness and smoke. Good for the atmosphere, bad for the pictures:)
“I don’t just want to do the record as it was back in 1994, but rather excavate it from 1994 and drag it into the new light of the current world, while retaining the atmosphere of the original sound,” – Mortiis [bravewords.com]

MORTIIS – The only picture I took backstage. Already made several improvised versions of it just because.Would love to do a real dungeon shoot some day. Such an inspiring character:)
Håvard – a genuinly nice guy with another genuinly nice guy: Adrian (IXXI & ANGREPP)
Darkness comes in many forms…
If you’ve ever been into genres like Dark Ambient, Neofolk, Power Electronics or Martial Industrial you must have surely heard of the legendary label Cold Meat Industry.“Sophia was first started in 1998 when Peter Bjärgö recorded plenty of songs as a side project to Arcana. Those songs were unfortunately destroyed and the thought of a harscher side project blossomed again in 2000. The first album was recorded with the intention of making songs for a live performance. Together with Per Åhlund, Peter Bjärgö performed a few live shows and in 2001 the first release came out, entitled “Aus Der Welt”. ” – Band bio
First out often means (at least at metal gigs in Stockholm) that you perform for a handful of people. SOPHIA maybe started that way, but only because a big part of the crowd were still queuing outside waiting to get their wristbands. It started to fill up pretty quickly in front of the stage, tho, so it was quite packed in the venue after awhile.

About: “Dead Kosmonaut is a swedish metal project in the vein of all your favourite classic heavy rock bands.”
Snabb plåtning i ett halvmålat rum i mitt hus där dom fick trängas i ett hörn:) Eminent besök av Mattias Reinholdsson och dom två vokalisterna Pelle Hellbutcher (Nifelheim, Necrocurse) och Johan Längquist (ex-Candlemass). Finfika och grejs. Längquist gästar på ett spår på den nya plattan “Expect Nothing“.
Bilder för div promo.Mattias contacted me about some fast pictures for DEAD KOSMONAUT who were about to release their first full lenght “Expect Nothing”. So had them over and did some shots in a corner of a half painted room. Not the ideal but we managed to get some that worked out. And most importantly, we had coffees :D
