Of course I arrived late and missed the first band:( But either way, I did see/hear some extremely good stuff!! First out was Tormented from the same parts of the country than the great Facebreaker. Too bad Roberth (Tormented, Facebreaker, Scar Symmetry) was on tour somewhere in Europe with Scar Symmetry and couldn´t show up. I was a bit sad for awhile, then I heard that one of Sthlms finest, Tobbe Sillman, would be filling in with the bass. That Sillman boy is really everyplace these days??;) I´m not complaining…he´s great whatever instrument he´s demolishing at the time.

The last band at RIFS was Bombs of Hades (love the name. So cool!!:) from Västerås. Didn´t do my homework, so many of the bands playing this weekend, were bands I didn´t know so much about so I thought it could be quite exciting. And it turned out to be better I ever imagined. The whole idea having this festival was based on the release of a (limited) compilation vinyl called Resurrected In Festering Slime. Most of the bands on the compilation also played on this festival. BIG thanks to Andrés (Darkcreed), Sophie and Peter who made this great event happen!! Andrés also jumped in for one song with Bombs of Hades (Jaws of Satan) I had a great time and I do hope this wasn´t the last time I saw these great bands. And I sure hope I get the chance to see those two bands I missed…Feral and Morbus Chron….someday soon!!!
