COLOSSUS from Stockholm play Progressive Stoner/Sludge Metal since 2008, according to Metal Archives.
A photo shoot in THE library in Sthlm wasn´t exactly the easiest. For several reasons. We had to be quiet, stay out of the way etc. So no playing around.

We did some try out pictures but the only ones working for the purpose were taken in the entrance which looks a bit like an egyptian grave vault:D

Some of the try outs & misc and a couple of the official ones:


The guys in TORMENTED don´t live in town so we scheduled the shoot when they were playing a gig here. Also the venue worked out well being an Old Town basement and all. So we did some shooting for promo and album [Death Awaits 2013] The album gatefold picture is a shot we took later in the dressing room and the one on the back cover is from the actual shoot. Some of the pics made themselves useful as promotional ones.

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.

In the very beginning @ The Liffey. The ones involved met up for a group photo and some food.

Photo shoot sponsored by Jägermeister xD

Allt släpar efter fortfarande, ingen förbättring på den punkten;)
I vilket fall så plåtade jag SEVENTRIBE   i Västerås under skumma & blöta omständigheter.

The photoshoot of the sleeve photograph for the new single “Dream Me” which follows the paper version of Sweden Rock Magazine to all of the 18000 subscribers.

OBRERO: “70’s rock/ doomband with a heavy touch of stoner formed by members of the death/thrashmetal bands Phidion and Talion in 2007. Between autumn 2009 and autumn 2010 Obrero recorded a 12-track demo. In January 2011 the band signed with Night Tripper Records and is currently released its first album.”

Några av killarna kände jag sen länge från andra band som The Protectors och Talion och såg verkligen framemot att göra detta.  Hade en bra dag med dom, fast det var KALLT som fan!! Testade runt lite olika locations och det blev nog rätt bra tycker jag:) Extraheder åt Magnus som var total trvkvlt och aldrig övergav sina träskor!!:D


(+ some bonuspics;))

Eldflammor, dieselrök och undergång! RAUBTIER var på väg från Malmögiget till Sthlm och skulle dyka upp på min parkering senare på eftermiddan och plocka med mig på vägen till Harry B. där dom skulle sitta och signera saker.

 

Innan dess var det tänkt att vi skulle ta lite snabba bilder med nya line-upen (Gustaf J. är ju med i bandet nu som ni vet). Träffade ett par andra bekanta också i bilen – Macke R. (som körde) & Ronnie N.. Väl på Harry B. stack vi in till parkeringshuset bredvid och tog lite snabba bilder.

Allt gick någorlunda civilicerat till och med tanke på omständigheterna och tiden så blev det ändå några som funkade. Vad jag vet så kommer nån av dom dyka upp i Slitz snart i nån intervju. Klubben den 29 oktober gäller!! Corroded lirar också då.

P.S. Hulkoff var hygglig och ritade ett svärd i min bandbok fast det skulle eg. blivit…nånting annat;)

Edit 2024-04-23: Slog ihop page & blog

Jag ångrade mig omgående när jag hade snackat bandfoto med Martin och kom på den lysande ideén att göra det väldigt tidigt på morgonen.
Men har man bestämt nått så har man, och kyrkogårdar är alltid häftigast tidig morgon. Så när man väl kom upp och iväg så var det inga probs. Nu vart det ju ingen dimma, men ändå. Fint väder och Sthlms finaste kyrkogård så det var prima liv. Fast man skulle haft en kaffetermos med sig…

 

Stupid o’clock in the morning (who´s idea was that???) but in the end it was a refreshing day out in one of our better cemeteries in Sthlm with the best DEMONICAL line up ever. Pics for promo and the upcoming album “Death Infernal” (Release April 15th 2011, the vinyls later, picture disc in 2021)
