SADISTIK FOREST – The Liffey 31/1 2014
SADISTIC FOREST from Finland playing in Sweden for the first time. Didn´t do my homework this time and was expecting something more stoner/doomy kind of stuff. But it was death metal and in fact really good:)) Recognized the vocalist from the great Hooded Menace. Massive performance by the guys!

HEXVESSEL – Debaser Medis 29/1 2014
I´ve seen HEXVESSEL twice in Transylvania, Romania at a really cosy outdoor festival. After that they have played once in Stockholm, but I wasn´t in town so I couldn´t go. So it was awesome to see/meet them again. Awfully nice people:) I was missing some of them, tho…
Anyway, I loved the gig and the opportunity to hang out with them again. Awesome evening:))
GEHENNAH – The Liffey 25/1 2014
Only GEHENNAH on the bill. No support bands. Except our friend Totte who played some Dissection tunes for us on the old organ before the doors opened.
The organ got recently to the basement, also some “new” sofas and chairs. Really nice:)) My first gig for this year and it was totally all that. I was really happy to meet friends and all the other good ones again. And to be back “home”. Great GEHENNAH show!! Don´t know how many “last” songs they played. Obviously the crowd didn´t let them go off the stage:) It was a mayhem in the front line from the start so I only stayed there for awhile before I gave up my spot to the crowd going crazy:) So not that many live pics.

CANDLEMASS – “Ancient Dreams” Debaser Medis 28/12 2013
CANDLEMASS third album “Ancient Dreams” turned 25 and I went to the b-day bash at Medis. With my mom, who came to town for the holidays. She was a bit anxious before the show, but enjoyed the whole thing a lot and also bought herself some merch. She also got to meet some of my awesome friends:)
The show was great!! Their earlier plans to have the whole thing filmed, didn´t work out and some other things didn´t go as planned but shit happens and it still was awesome!! The always so impressive Jörgen Sandström (Grave,Entombed,The Project Hate,Torture Division etc. Looking stunning in his new shirt!!;)) got on stage with very short notice and also the great Pepper Potemkin ( Blackbird Burlesque Cabaret / The Catastrophe Orchestra) appeared during “Solitude” in the end of the show. Dunno about that Torsten Flink guy, tho:) Great thanks to the CANDLEMASS guys for this awesome night!
CARCASS – Arenan 7/12 2013
Some few photos from Arenan. Was hanging out with HELL so didn´t see that much of the other bands. Sorry.
HELL – Arenan 7/12 2013
It´s been almost a year since the last time I saw the legendary HELL. This time they only got some 30 minutes on stage but they made the most of it as expected. A short but awesome show!! They also got some time to hang out with me:) The new album is KILLER and on the top of my Best of 2013 list! Can´t wait to see them on a headline tour!! Or at some cool festivals next summer
Btw…about a million pics from the Derby show last winter is coming up shortly!! Haven´t published any of them yet.

COLOSSUS – Studion 23/11 2012
From band bio: “True to their roots, this powerful trio who performs a headstrong metal with roots deep in the impenetrable mire of the stoner/doom/sludge tradition nuansed with streaks of progressive rock, post metal and psychadelica.”
Mighty COLOSSUS @ Kulturhuset, Studion. It was great to see them live for the first time. Really good show and a great start for the evening!
Line up: Niklas Eriksson – Guitar & Vocals / Peter Berg – Bass / Thomas Norstedt – Drums
