Black metal about satanism & war from Lahti, Finland. One man project founded in 2019. Just awesome!

“WARMOON LORD is the work of one man Vechi Vrajitor, or, more down to Earth, Juuso Peltola, also in Musta Risti, Old Sorcery and Megahammer. Given that the second album Battlefields is on Werewolf Records (run by Mr. Werwolf himself Lauri Penttila), one might surmise quality black metal will be in the offing” – metalreviews.com

“Black Metal has lived, for most of its life, with the Dark and the Light; musicians have crafted master pieces that can easily be placed in both sides of the spectrum, and remember that Drak does not always mean Aggressive, nor does Light always mean Gentle and Kind. Cénotaphe are, once again, able to combine both sides of this special spectrum, and craft a remarkable piece of Black Metal.”
 – vm-underground.com “Monte Verità” 2020 album review

Definitely a band to look into a bit more!

“Burning with fire and pure youthful energy towards making majestic Black Metal is their specialty. They have successfully found the key to combine traditional stylings to present day melodic cues. The use of keyboard arrangements in some tracks give the encompassing sound a new dimension of fullness. With themes based on Blasphemy, their songs are loaded with Satanic power and references” – Captain @ Aminoapps

“Finland’s White Death play nothing but BLACK FVCKING METAL exclusively and require only spikes, torches and frost” – Richter @ /toiletovhell.com

I couldn´t stay to the end so no pics of the crucifixion. My friend Marco got some, tho!

“Formed in 1991 in the south of France by Chris (guitar/vocal), the band, with different line-ups, played 2 gigs in 1992 with the Italians bands O.I.D. and SADIST and released its unique and classic studio 4 track demo tape CALL FROM UNKNOWN DEPTHS. The audience was baptised with blood during the first show”

Good gig! Old band but new for me…

The common festival problem with playing early outdoors: the sun! Not the best friend of BM bands, especially when there´s shitloads of the stuff right in your face:/ But if they can still deliver a convincing gig…well, all good then:))

Blasphemy, Hate & Misanthropy since 2005. More sun than needed for this band but a great gig. Missed the first songs because of reasons so no shots from the pit. Just a few from the crowd.
“AEGRUS is a Finnish Black Metal band formed in 2005 at Kouvola, Finland by Darkseer Inculta and Lux Tenebris. It started as a vision about satanic devotion and mockery against christianity but during the years the vision has vastly grown to concern about members passionate interest towards death, darkness, Luciferian worldview and transcendental knowledge.”

“When night falls
She cloaks the world
In impenetrable darkness
A chill rises from the soil
And contaminates the air
Suddenly life has new meaning”
-BURZUM – Dunkelheit –

They don´t probably have any web or Fb page. At least I didn´t find any. But they play some BURZUM tributes every now and then. So cool to hear the “hits” live. They could have played a bit longer, tho:)
The pics were really shitty so I added some fast grungy layer on some of them just to add some texture. I may do the same with many other bands

One of my all time top bands. Good to see some satanic speed metal again. Kick ass shit as always.
My pics, on the other hand, shit without the kick ass part:) Standard metal club gig light/smoke conditions (as with many other bands here and everywhere) but nothing to cry & complain about, just to go with whatever you´re given. The harsh reality of a metal photographer:)

“I take pride in my accomplishments, as one should, but ultimately I am serving the calling within me, channelling and challenging the forces which keep me inspired. I have never aimed at bringing out originality in terms of musical innovation but rather at keeping it well enough personal, from the heart, to a unique vision.” – Shatraug, interview 2020

Cool to see GRAVELAND live! Great show! Kudos to Steelfest for booking.

Metal Arcives:“Graveland’s style has changed from raw black metal on the early albums to a more epic sound which is inspired by Hammerheart-era Bathory. Lyrically, on the early works Rob Darken was inspired by Celtic beliefs, now he’s Wotanism-orientated and calls his music “epic pagan metal””
