After a longer break, I´m somewhat able to do some stuff again.
Even Steelfest was in dangerzone because of this extremely stressful & busy & expensive spring, but got away in which case!
The first pics will,as always, show up on the FB page & Insta. Full galleries here a bit later.
Copy/pasting my earlier posting on the social medias:
“ I left my heart (again) in Hyvinkää and Steelfest Open Air, Metal festival. Also my brain and my last pennies. And probably lost some shit on the ferry too. Way too much to say about this glorious weekend and way too many to mention. As always, absolutely no shitty performances, no nonsense or bullshit at this crown jewel of all festivals. So first and foremost a huge thanks to Jani who never stray from the path, and all the Steelfest crew. To all the bands in the once again brilliant line up and all the weird & fantastic old and new friends all over the place. Lots of special mentions would be in order but I go for the limited version and just send a special thanks to my most awesome roommates Marco Manzi, Elsa Wellamo & Janetta Salin. Mostly because they didn´t murder me in my sleep and also because it could approve my chances to get a decent place to stay next time. Wil Perkunas, you were sorely missed! At some point I will photoshop you in some of the pics and send over I know you were thinking of us too so hope you can get your shit together ´til next time! End of message. //S. P.S. As usual, I eventually start posting the very first pics in a very random order @ https://www.facebook.com/extremmetal. (Full galleries at some point @www.extremmetal.se) “
Moving is Hell!!
Before and during. After is messy but not as stressful.
I get back to the business when I get my shit somewhat sorted out.
Will take awhile but getting there.
Friends & a great moving company are necessary!!
“Pioneers in Swedish pagan metal and 2025 marks 30 years for the band. On this very special occasion the band will perform prolonged set with songs from their entire career.”
Fullt upp med saker just nu så det var nära att jag inte åkte in alls, men blev “lätt” övertalad xD Men glad att jag gjorde. Väldigt trevlig spelning! Och Kaamos-Kalle lirade bas!
Ser dock ut att jag får skippa en del riktigt bra events under den kommande våren:/

“In 1987, Roger Karmanik – a veteran musician of the Swedish industrial scene – founded Cold Meat Industry. Over the next decade, the label grew from a bedroom passion project into a world-renowned record company. Whilst CMI grew exponentially, Karmanik’s underground mindset and work methods remained largely unchanged. Plagued by setbacks in both his personal and professional life – as well as deteriorating mental health – Roger Karmanik eventually hit a wall. CMI was declared bankrupt in 2011. Then, thirty years after its conception, people from over 40 different countries gathered in Stockholm to celebrate the label’s anniversary – and something unexpected ensued.”
Grymt bra jobbat av Claudio (Marino) och andra inblandade. Dokumentären var ruskigt bra och intressant även för dom som inte var där när det begav sig (som jag). Visste inte så mycket om denna scen förräns jag hamnade på Cold Meat 30 års kalas 2017. Mortiis kände jag nog till och var ett stort fan av Karjalan Sissit från Eskilstuna men det var det, typ.
Förutom Roger K. själv och Claudio så är det en hel del intressanta inblandade som har jobbat med detta projekt som Vlad (Death Disco), Bardo Methodology Niklas och Mattias Indy Pettersson. Dom syns inte mer än i credsen (vad jag minns) men har en stor betydelse för produktionen. M. från MGLA och Erik WATAIN dyker upp i intervjuerna tillsammans med en massa CMI artister. Själv har jag bidragit med några foton inbakade här och var i filmen. Efter visningen blev det Q & A på scenen med Ika Johannesson som frågade ut Claudio & Roger.
Den fjärde HELLBUTCHER spelningen jag sett sen premiärgiget på Kulturakademin i Motala för ett år sen.
Prima spelning varje gång!:)
Perra K. hänger fortfarande med som livetrummis. Bra så. Perra är grym! Eldarna var förbjudna i lokalen:/

“Helleruin is a unique one man Black Metal band from The Netherlands and after its 2021 debut record ‘War Upon Man’ which sold out over and over again it is time to now hit the international stages and to start playing live. For this, carefully selected live musicians were gathered early 2022 and Helleruin boarded the Northern Alliance Tour together with genre pioneers Taake and Kampfar”
“Helleruin is an almost forgotten old Dutch word, which modernly could be translated as “witchcraft” or “necromancy”. I choose this because it fits the image I want to radiate.”
