PERRACIDE – Underdog 2023
2023-06-23
Perra Karlsson, bästa snubben, har släppt en platta! “Underdog” vars släppdag var den 23 Juni 2023.
I princip är det hela ett sammandrag av en lång karriär i Metal och allt förklaras rätt bra precis HÄR i en recension.
Och jag fick vara med i ett hörn:))
Bilden på baksidan har jag tagit. Egentligen en “bonusbild” från plåtningen vi gjorde med Perras NOMINON i Göteborg för ett gäng år sen. Jag har alltid gillat den miserabla bilden och tydligen Perra också eftersom han frågade efter den när layouten skulle bestämmas.
Han hade ett gäng med CD´n & tröjor med sig när vi sågs på nån spelning i våras så fick lite presenter:)
Plattan är en svinbra blandning av allt möjligt :D
SUPPORT & KÖP!
https://emanzipation.bandcamp.com/album/underdog
https://www.facebook.com/perracideofficial“The album consists of fourteen slabs of undeniable metal magic. Five of the tracks being new and original songs showcasing the versatility and extremity of Perra and his chosen brothers in arms. Perra initially wrote and demoed the songs on drums only, so that the involved musicians could write guitar riffs and add leads and finally the guests vocalists and bassists could complete them with their parts. The remaining tracks are fresh renditions of Perra’s favorite tracks from the myriad of legendary acts he’s been a part of that really drives the point home. This is 45 minutes of crushing metal that nobody should miss out on!” – Emanzipation Productions

DESTROYER 666 – Jakobs Bar 25/5 2023
2023-05-25
I´ve seen these guys many times (latest was just a week or so ago in Finland) and they have always been great. Still, they can take it up a notch every now and then and this gig was for sure one of those with extra everything. Crazy & sweaty kick ass show!!:D
“DESTRÖYER 666 continue to do what they are best at: kicking ass and hammering out heavy metal that is slamming straight into the face. No compromise, no sell out, no bullshit!” – Season of Mist

LUCIFER´S CHILD – Jakobs Bar 25/5 2023
2023-05-25
“Lucifer’s Child is an unholy creation of George Emmanuel (Rotting Christ, ex-Chaostar) and Stathis Ridis (Nightfall) based in Athens, Greece, formed in 2013. The band’s music serves a spiritual introduction to the atmospheric world of Black Metal. Pulsating the energy of ritualistic lyrics and the horrifying electrism of black music, Lucifer’s Child create a unity between the sound and the spiritual idea that each creation serves to the listeners” – Band bio
Killer performance!! First time ever I saw LUCIFER´S CHILD live but had some high expectations and this band is really good! Met George the last time when he was still in Rotting Christ, so it was fun to catch up a bit. He´s keeping busy with the band and the recording studio. Hope it doesn´t take too long until next time.

NERVOCHAOS – Jakobs Bar 25/5 2023
2023-05-25
“NERVOCHAOS was born on the fall of 1996, with the idea of creating aggressive and chaotic music. NERVOCHAOS gained cult status in the extreme music scene due to their hard work over the past years, offering a sonic extravaganza in their unique way” – Band bio
Brazilian guys first out this evening. A new band for me.

WARMOON LORD – Steelfest 20/5 2023
2023-05-20
“WARMOON LORD is arguably the best-kept secret of the ever-fertile Finnish black metal underground. The band is the sole work of one Lord Vrajitor, a prolific figure in the wider Finnish music underground, but also concurrently the mainman of OLD SORCERY. But whereas that band largely/mostly works within the dungeon synth genre, WARMOON LORD is pure & proud black metal of a most fantastical nature – equally medieval, maybe even more so, but burning with icy-hot passion that so fired the second wave during the mythical 1990s.” – Werewolf Records, Bandcamp
The very last band out for this glorious 2023 edition of Steelfest. Shit tired but still managed to see most of the gig:)
Can´t wait for next years fest!

SATANIC WARMASTER – Steelfest 20/5 2023
2023-05-20
One of the greatest at this festival!
Not spoiled with livegigs with these guys (only the second time ever) and both times they were absolutely brilliant! Last time was at the same festival but indoor stage and now playing as the last band outdoors, which suited them very well. Huge crowd and just freaking amazing performance! All hail Lauri Werwolf.
The first time I even listened to SATANIC WARMASTER was in a car travelling from Barcelona to Madrid for a second WATAIN / SHINING show on the trip(2011?). “Where Eternity Awaits”…#neverforget. Still one of the favourites.[Live clips by Gronn Onland,Tales From The Frontline]

– Found a review from 2016. SW performing the first time in the UK (Glasgow). With all the usual shitstorm, resulting the original venue backing off etc etc.(Vice) The usual. I met the promotor when I was in UK with VALKYRJA/ARCHGOAT the same year. Great person! Support the good ones! https://www.facebook.com/GigsinGlasgow95https://www.facebook.com/satanic.war.terror/

URGEHAL – Steelfest Saturday 20/5 2023
2023-05-20
“When Trondr Nefas sadly passed away at the age of 34 on May 12th in 2012 this also sealed the end of URGEHAL. Out of friendship, respect and as a tribute to their late singer and guitarist, the Norwegians decided to go ahead with producing a final album. Half of the material on ‘Aeons in Sodom’ was written by Trondr with the other half contributed by guitarist Enzifer. URGEHAL invited close friend and band mates from other projects of Nefas to contribute and those honoured in this way all joined to pay homage.” – Season of Mist
URGEHAL has played some live gigs lately. Starting last year as 2022 was marking 10 years after Trondr Nefas passing. “Dødsmarsj for Nefas” also had a stop in Stockholm May last year. They will not go on forever with this, so if you have managed to catch them at some point, you´ve been lucky:)
Live lineup is original members Enzifer (guitar) and Uruz (drums) as well as long time member Mannevond (Koldbrann, Djevel) on bass. On lead guitar is Malphas (Carpathian Forest, Endezzma, Vulture Lord, HAGL). Vocals half the set each Trondr’s long time friends and fellow musicians Sorath Northgrove (Beastcraft, Vulture Lord, HAGL) and Morten Shax (Endezzma).
In 2016 the 13th of May, Nefas bands URGEHAL, BEASTCRAFT, and ENDEZZMA shared stage for the first and last time at the “Death Is Complete” memorial evening in Oslo featuring a great bunch of guest vocalists: Hoest from TAAKE, Nag from TSJUDER, Nattefrost from CARPATHIAN FOREST, Niklas Kvarforth from SHINING, Sorath from BEASTCRAFT, Mannevond from KOLDBRANN and M Shax from ENDEZZMA.The great ones shall not be forgotten. Brilliant gig and ofc Goatcraft Torment as the first song.

NUNSLAUGHTER – Steelfest Saturday 20/5 2023
2023-05-20
Devil Metal legends from Cleveland, Ohio US formed in 1987. They´ve been active ever since, except a short break around 2015.
After a million releases and a bunch of changes in the line up, the vocalist Don of the Dead (Donald Crotsley) is the only remaining original/founding member.
Very entertaining gig:)
“Deformed in 1987 by Don of the Dead (Bass) with Jer the Butcher (Guitar), Gregoroth (Vocals) and Behemoth Bill (Drums), the spawn called Nun Slaughter began spewing forth the sonic vomit known as Death Metal. Shunning the vile confines of a studio for the oppressive darkness of a basement tomb, they released their first demo in 1987 and christened it “Ritual of Darkness”. The raw sound of “Ritual” established N.S. as purveyors of true Death Metal. The bands line up experienced it first of many mutations in ’89, with Jer and Bill being replaced by Rick Rancid (Guitar) and John Sicko (Drums). NunSlaughter’s, second bastard offspring came screaming through the birth canal shortly thereafter, dragging it’s fetid placenta, “The Rolling Christ”. The next band-member morphogenesis occurred in 1991, when Gregoroth and Sick slithered away. Von the Impaler latched on as a drummer and Don of the Dead (still on bass) became Nun Slaughter’s vocalist as well. This repugnant assemblage produced the band’s third demo, “Impale the Soul of Christ on the Inverted Cross of Death”.”
– Band bio @ hellsheadbangers.com“Nunslaughter is probably one of the oldest cult death metal bands around. Created in 1987, the band has been prolifically releasing material, with a particular affection towards EPs and split releases. After more than 35 years of activity, Nunslaughter remains incredibly loyal to the roots of the genre and continuing to play death metal in it’s purest form.”

– Latest release: Fuck Off!!! (In the Name of Satan) Split (w Nuctemeron) 2022
– 2015 they released “In Memoriam” one month after their long time drummer Jim “sadist” Konya passed. Recorded live At The Hells Headbash, Valley City, OH, United States, August 9th, 2014
“Done in 100 copies only and was made to honour Jim Sadist who has sadly passed away last month. He’s greatly missed by many friends and fans. The single has coverart which is in the classic Nunslaughter tradition, but the inside is a photo collage of 74 different photo’s of Jim Sadist.”
