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!!!
My good, and most respected, friend Erik Tormentor has been rehearsing with this band Crucifyre for awhile, but I never heard one track and I don´t think they´ve ever played live before (correct?). I really didn´t know what to expect, but I really enjoyed the stuff very much. Pondus & stjärnglans!!
Fuck you! Hail Satan! (send up that track on MySpace, will you??!!;)).
Stench includes a couple of guys from the amazing Tribulation (who made one of the BEST albums 2009 – The Horror and got the same maniac blonde on guitar). Really good death metal all the way!! The downside was that I didn´t get one good pic on the drummer. Sorry ´bout that. I´ll do better next time.
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.
Last band out this evening. I just saw Mr. Death for a week ago and I really could see them once a week…no problem;) If/when I get rich, I will hire them as my houseband:) My neighbours would love that!!! AWESOME gig!!
Fantastic MAIM!! Another great band I didn´t know anything about before this gig. Really nice surprise…and a band I most likely would go and see again!
Line-up: Krille- guitar Scott- guitar Rikard- bass Otto- drums
Got a BIG bunch of pics from these two nights to take care of, so I will skip the poetry…
Anyway the first band I saw on the RIFS Fest was Chronic Torment from Gothenburg. I was wondering a bit about the keyboards at first…then it made sense;) Good gig with some epic stuff. And lots of thanks for the CD guys!! :)
Evening of mayhem & destruction@ Kafé 44 a.k.a Fun with Soph & Pet.
Also first night of two of the RIFS Fest. Bands for the evening were Chronic Torment (GOOD gig!), Morbus Chron (didn´t see them because we went to Bröderna Olssons and stayed too long…everybody told me they were just great so I have to see them someplace), Maim (REALLY good!!!) and Mr. Death (ahhh….GREAT, you know….as always).
