TMA: “Pronounced as “Meh-lek-esh”. Melechesh means “King of Fire” in Hebrew.
Problems between Melechesh and the strictly religious people in Jerusalem, as well as professional and personal reasons, encouraged the band to relocate with members going to The Netherlands where they could continue work without the hassle from religious authorities.”

It was awesome to meet Aschmedi & the guys again. And see the gig! The first  since they played in Stockholm for some years ago. Not really the same line up any more but  a good gig upstairs!:))

“Although much of their music from the mid-1990s onwards has incorporated electronic sounds which would best define their genre as industrial metal, they are an early black metal band and an innovator for post-black metal styles. Samael released their first album Worship Him in 1991 on French record label Osmose Productions; the following year they signed a multi-records deal with Century Media Records and released their second album Blood Ritual.”

I love ROTTING CHRIST!!! This gig was probably the best one I´ve seen with them!

“Before they formed Rotting Christ, Sakis Tolis, Themis Tolis and Mutilator played in a band together called Black Church, which they started in 1985. They went on to create Rotting Christ in 1987. From 1987-89 Rotting Christ were a grindcore band, after Satanas Tedeum their sound shifted towards black metal.”

The great outdoors with Unleashed. (very) Icy & (very) cold.

Pictures for promotion & the album “Dawn of The Nine”

Thankful for warmers & coffee:) The semla season starts way too early these days but we didn´t mind. So we had those also.
It was a shit cold day, so some hours outdoors required some Viking genes for sure. Pro guys! We tried out a couple of locations but forests and lakes didn´t win this time.
Lovely bunch of ppl but it was way too cold to spend any time for goofing about. Just a little bit:)

Nuclear Blast are huge and still one of the most photographer friendly labels out there. They sent me first a care package with a couple of CD versions and a T shirt, and later on the vinyl:)

“With their blend of melody and brutality, the warriors of UNLEASHED are credited as the founding fathers of the Viking death metal movement from their inception back in 1989. Twenty-six years later, they have managed to unite the spirit of the Viking tradition with their merciless riffs and epic choruses – melting uncompromising brutality with hymns to Odin.”
