COFFINS @ PRKL Club, Helsinki – Finland 12/5 2012
No sleep ´til HELLsinki.
Wasn´t that sure if I was going to make it to Finland at all, but after the gig in Stockholm friday night, I stayed in the city, jumped on the first bus to the airport in the morning (3.45AM. Gaahhh) and just took off. Slept a few hours at my brother´s house and went to the club quite early. We had a few beers and waited for the Japanese guys to show up.
It was really happy to meet them again (ohh Ryooooo!!!) so the trip was worth all the pain and misery;) The gig was GREAT!! The crowd didn´t want to let them off the stage so after many extra songs they also played a couple of brand new ones from the upcoming album. The PRKL Club stage was small and very dark (I always say that? But it´s always true.), I didn´t bring my flash and I only stayed at one side of the stage. I also got some crappy vids and realized once more that it´s not a great idea to stay too close to the speakers when filming. Still I love the clips:)
Many thanks to the nice staff at PRKL Club and to my brother Jarmo and his gf Niina for having me!!
Hope it´s not going to take some 20 years again…;) Hoping to catch up with COFFINS in Tokyo later this year and heard there´s already plans for gathering some great bands in october:D

PORTRAIT – Püssy a Go Go 11/5 2012
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:))
PORTRAIT are:Per Karlsson – vocals, Christian Lindell – guitar, Richard Lagergren – guitar, David Olofsson – bass. Anders Persson – drums

NIFELHEIM – Göta Källare 29/4 2012
One of the greatest bands on earth and not that common to see on a stage in Stockholm!! Some enthusiast poured beer on my camera when the band entered the stage so had to dry the lens a bit with my sleeve (I do have a filter on it, of course. I don´t use sleeves on the optics. Mostly:). Still I got some of it left in the viewfinder. Haha fukken metalheads:) ❤ Fantastic gig and (ofc) the pics got a nice retro feeling. Very much like the ones I always ended up with back in 2005 at Tantogården shooting with my very first DSLR (Canon 20D, 18-55 kit lens;). In which case, here you go.

VULCANO – Göta Källare 29/4 2012
The first time ever I got to see VULCANO live!! Great show and lots of people. GK should invest in some air condition, tho. I always wake up with a headache after being to the venue. And it´s NOT because of the beer and smoking:) Anyway, big thanks to HELLBUTCHER for inviting me (or maybe I invited myself, haha?). He requested lots of VULCANO pics, so I did my best. Difficult lights, the kind that makes all the colors bleed, but it sometimes comes with the territory. Just have to deal with it:)
VULCANO line up: Zhema Rodero- Guitars. Arthur Von Barbarian- Drums, Luiz Carlos Louzada- Vocals, Carlos Diaz- Bass, Fernando Nonath- Guitars

M.M.I. – Release party for “Lean back, Relax and watch the world burn” 5/4 2012
Berget Bergman is a dear old (oooold;)) friend of mine and now he has released yet another M.M.I. album and the new stuff sounds really good!! He also trusted me once more to shoot all the pics needed. There´s a brand new line-up now and have to say the new guys are not bad at all. They rock!:) Lots and lots of people @ Anchor and I saw myself on the tv screens every now and then (the MMI dvd looping…scary shit:)). Cool gig and drunken mayhem in the crowd so over all it was a good party:))
