Also got black metal stuff from Greece!!! Profane Prayer sent me a couple of awesome albums and a t-shirt!
INBREED OPEN AIR 2014, några timmar på lördagkvällen. Bara sådär kort:
Hängde med Jonas (“Nord/Nebiros” MALIGN, ex-OFERMOD) och Joel (MONSTRAAT, ex-LIFELOVER) till Uppsala för Jonas skulle gästa MEPHORASH som spelade sist denna kväll.
Hann se lite av SUMMONED TIDE och ASSBLASTER, och nästan hela SECTU giget. Träffade på flera bekanta (flera av dom hade spelat tidigare på dagen. Bla den vid det här laget världsberömda memegubben/internetfenomenet Martin Ågren från ONE HOUR HELL)), men var rätt lam när det kom till att ta bilder. Så det blev bara några snaps på dom jag sprang på hela tiden och/eller fastnade en längre tid med. Kul liten festival och välordnat också. Allt elementärt
som ska finnas på en festival fanns där trots att det hela var gratis, på en liten yta och gjord med minimal (ingen?) budget.
Armband fick man vid ingången där man också kollade medhavda väskor (ingen egen alkohol tillåten till området), öltältet fanns direkt till vänster till ingången, det fanns två ölserveringar utomhus plus en inomhus i ett trevligt fik/bar där man även kunde köpa nått ätbart för en rimlig peng.Kön till bardisken kunde emellanåt bli lång och långsam men jag löste det smidigt med att hoppa av kön och istället sno åt mig en bit av Joakims (LifeR) hamburgare. Tack Joakim!!!
Hade dessutom några fina Convoy moments med samme man under kvällen;)) Johan från samma band såg till att jag aldrig blev ståendes nånstans utan en öl. Finfint folk! Kärlek!:)) Scenen var inte fy dum den heller. Fast kravallstaketet höll på att braka ihop vid nått tillfälle så crewfolk fick stå bakom och hålla emot under MEPHORASH spelningen. Backstageområdet avskärmat och logen var full med loppisprylar men funkade bra. Bra lineup med mest lokalanknytning. Och folk var fulla & glada:)
Fin liten festival, hade skoj, så bra gjort Link & co:))
I was supposed to hang out w the KD people in Tokyo late 2013 but because of typhoons & stuff happened, all their gear got stucked in a Chinese harbour and never made it to Japan. So last minute cancelled trip for them:/
I was already in Japan by that time so made the best of it (with typhoon and all;)) sightseeing all over Tokyo & Yokohama, meeting up w friends and going to some gigs. So quite good trip overall.
Anyways I finally got to meet up with all of the KD people at the rehearsals for the Summer tour 2014. Kinda made up for Tokyo
Some really nice days in Denmark, 2 rehearsals a day, fun company, truly professional crew and the most awesome venue rented for the rehearsals.
In last minute there was the incident involving the former bass player and Pontus E. was asked to step in. He accepted, took the plane from Sweden the next day, rehearsed 14 songs within 24 hrs or so and played like he always been in the band. A hero!The coffin from the 80´s was tried out the first time since…the 80´s. This time Grandma was the one to be burned. She wasn´t too happy about it xD
The first gig on the tour was in Stockholm and they did some European gigs & festivals before a tour in US later in the year.[I need to sort out some pictures in the future which are ok for public viewing. Too many personal/private stuff for now]
And so it happened that COFFINS had a small gig outdoors the day after I arrived to Tokyo. So I went there, of course. Probably the last time ever I could see the band with Ryo (vocals), because he´s quitting the band after the Japan tour with NOOTHGRUSH first days in November. Pretty sad I think, but hopefully he can take his other band GUEVNNA on the European roads next year. (Saw them also on this trip (pics HERE) and they´re really good!)
Anyway, enjoyed the day out in Tama Center (the home of HELLO KITTY!;)) and went for some decent kaiten zushi with the guys before leaving the suburbs.
Lots to do right now so if you want to see at least some of the latest stuff, go to www.facebook.com/extremmetal .
More updates here soon.
See you!:) // Soile
Random pics w. some friends & other nice/cool/beautiful people.
On stage: ANTAGONIST ZERO / GRÁ / KILL
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.

Crowded house when TRIBULATION hosted the release party for their new album “The Formulas of Death” (Released about a week earlier by Invictus Productions). The best Püssy girls couldn´t be there with us, tho;( Lisa´s band The Baboon Show were on tour in Cuba and Alex went along with them. Just because she could. ) They were very much missed!!!
Jonathan Hultén (Guitars in TRIBULATION and artist at Necromantic Art) had a small exhibition showing the original album art. A really nice night with friends and other great people:)
Anyway, some misc pics from the evening.
