TAAKE – Steelfest 15/5 2022
I love Norway and many Norwegian bands, but TAAKE is definitely the most “Norway” to me. Epic (as always) show. Even with only one guitar. The second guitar ( Aindiachaí or Sanrabb ?) was on his way but got stuck somewhere for some stupid reason and couldn´t get to the festival:/ Gjermund is a hero and an awesome musician so in the end it all had the best possible outcome. Ofc they played Myr also. Banjo solos rule!:D
Pehr from ALFAHANNE appeared on stage again for one song:)
On stage @ Steelfest: Hoest Rune Nesse (drums) Gjermund Fredheim (guitar & banjo) V’gandr (bass)

ANTIMATERIA – Steelfest 15/5 2022
“Every single element of Antimateria looks totally devoted to Atmospheric Black Metal in its purest meaning, even the production work, enough clean to let us tell each single instrument and yet sufficiently home-madeish to highlight the darkest vein of the arrangement”
–Juno Bloodlust, 2016 review of “Valo Aikojen Takaa”[Live clips by TopiKoo & Extreme Metal Syndicate]

VALKYRJA – Steelfest 15/5 2022
VALKYRJA got booked kinda in the last minute because of a sudden free spot in the festival line up. Good to see them live again. First time I saw Linus (IXXI, SINIESTRO etc) on stage with them.
Janetta (merch & my roommate) actually took time off from the booth just to see the band:)

KALMANKANTAJA – Steelfest 15/5 2022
Local guys from Hyvikää who obviously have played several times at Steelfest. Was looking for clips on Youtube but nothing yet from this years festival. But there is some previous ones to find.
Not really sure of the line up but Aki Klemm alias Grim666 has done all instruments since the start in 2011. Later addition for Tyrant (Niko Lindell) for vocals since 2016. Guess the rest of the guys are live musicians? Enlighten me if needed.

ALFAHANNE – Steelfest 15/5 2022
ALFAHANNE – always the right choice. Been awhile since the last gig I saw with the guys and they still got it for sure. Awesome show.
Notes: Addition to the line up I remember is keyborards by Stefan Eriksson. They do often have guest vocalists and this time it was Spellgoth from HORNA.
Spellgoth has also appeared on one of their albums and so has many others, like Hoest (TAAKE) and V’gandr (HELHEIM), Dolk (KAMPFAR), Erlend Hjelvik (KVELERTAK), Nattfursth (SORHIN), David Lindh (YVONNE and BRODER DANIEL), Sanrabb (GEHENNA) and Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING). So you never really know who´s showing up on stage with them:)
Band: Pehr Skjoldhammer – Fredrik Sööberg – Niklas Åström – Jimmy Wiberg – Stefan Eriksson

HELLBOOZER UNION – Steelfest 15/5 2022
Best way to start a very tired 4th day was the awesome roast pig buffet (with Werwolf as DJ playing the upcoming SATANIC WARMASTER album for us) and then HELLBOOZER UNION. Somewhat different from the rest of the bands at Steelfest but lots of fun and actually a really good band. According to themselves they sound like “A vomit bursting out at sunday morning” :D In addition they also got the vocalist from the BURZUM cover/tribute band “IMPENETRABLE DARKNESS” running around with a bowl of blood. Completely naked.
Hard to find any clips but a bit from Steelfest 10 years ago.

LifeR Video shoot May 2013 [The Works]
I was booked to document a video shoot with to me unknown band called LifeR. Had an awesome day with the guys and my friend Bergman (man.machine.industry) who was the director of the vid. We were hanging out in a huge old paint factory with lots of possibilities. Too bad they demolished the place some time after.

Facebreaker + Torture Killer + Demonical – Luciferian Society @ Kafé 44 15/5 2009
The first gig in a long time and it happened to be a really fantastic one! Got to see Facebreaker again along with two other greats: Demonical and Torture Killer. The bands started out their European tour at Kafé 44 and the next stop were Eldfesten in Köping. That´s not so far and the plan was that I tag along with the bands right after the gig. However I didn´t want to stay in a hotel after the festival and I couldn´t find anybody driving to Stockholm at 2AM, so I had to pass. Hope they have a great tour.
Adrian & the Luciferian Society with staff did a great job and made a perfect evening! A very special thanks to Björn who works at the venue. He´s an amazing guy who always looks after me:)
