I´d only seen BT live once before…at the Close Up Festival in Stockholm back in 2006. They´re as great as ever!!:)) Scroll down for an epic clip by JK77Video.
I saw my friend Afe from the Malaysian band HUMILIATION in the front row. As it happened, Karl was wearing a HUMILIATION t-shirt on stage:))

First ever evening at the new place. Soooo nice!!:)) On stage: NIRVANA 2002, GENERAL SURGERY & FESTER
I worked for this festival the first two years (as the official photographer) and loved it.
It used to be a really nice one but now there was a totally different feel all over it (new owners, new order). Oh well…didn´t stay that long anyway.
Had a really nice roadtrip with my friends in OZ and I didn´t go hungry or without coffee;)) Didn´t make it to the ISOLE gig, only heard the last tones when were carrying stuff to the dressing room. That sucked, but I´ll get to see them in august instead:) The OZ gig was great fun as always!! A bit hard to shoot time to time, but I still loved the lights. Great crowd also:)) Met quite a many friends and other cool people in that short time at the festival and also got my new extreMMetal armband from Tommy @ Tom Leatherarts!!
He does some great leatherwork so check out his pages!! Shot the whole gig so lots of pics:)

GRÀ played first of four bands and had to start very early but there were already some crowd. Very good start of the great evening to be!! Got some band/backstage pics on them also but I have to sort out them a bit later. A couple of them can be found at extremmetal.se on FB.

No sleep ´til HELLsinki.
Wasn´t that sure if I was going to make it to Finland at all, but after the gig in Stockholm friday night, I stayed in the city, jumped on the first bus to the airport in the morning (3.45AM. Gaahhh) and just took off. Slept a few hours at my brother´s house and went to the club quite early. We had a few beers and waited for the Japanese guys to show up.
It was really happy to meet them again (ohh Ryooooo!!!) so the trip was worth all the pain and misery;) The gig was GREAT!! The crowd didn´t want to let them off the stage so after many extra songs they also played a couple of brand new ones from the upcoming album. The PRKL Club stage was small and very dark (I always say that? But it´s always true.), I didn´t bring my flash and I only stayed at one side of the stage. I also got some crappy vids and realized once more that it´s not a great idea to stay too close to the speakers when filming. Still I love the clips:)
Many thanks to the nice staff at PRKL Club and to my brother Jarmo and his gf Niina for having me!!
Hope it´s not going to take some 20 years again…;) Hoping to catch up with COFFINS in Tokyo later this year and heard there´s already plans for gathering some great bands in october:D

Photo shoot with SERPENT OBSCENE ( 1997 – 2006) in April 2005. Shot the outdoor pics at an old (abandoned) tuberculosis hospital and some sandpits. For the indoor shots we occupied the local youth centre. We also used their smoke machine…
Additional note: The pizzaplace where we went for lunch made pentagrams in bearnaise on the pizzas m/.
One of the smoky pics ended up on the album “Chaos Reign Supreme” (cover art made by the great Joe Petagno) and the whatever pics on the album are also by me.
The band split up after releasing the album and I´m still not over it!!
Just a very few pics of the supporting bands and the guests. Many friends to talk to and beers to drink, so…;)) Got some more photos of the bands, tho. Uploading them later.
Sebastian (Rojas) in TERMINAL PROSPECT contacted me for a few months ago and we started talking about finding a date for a photo shoot.
We had already booked a day in November last year, but for the first time I had to cancel due to my trip to Japan. But we made it finally and had a fun afternoon at their rehearsal studio and the nearby surroundings. Of course with food and coffee breaks!!
The guys were great fun to work with so it was a good day:) No albums yet, only a few “Making of…” pics. Some by me and some by my wonderful assistant Johanna.
