According to my galleries it´s been 3 years since my last GS gig?? Again…I miss Tanto, the venue I saw them the last time in 2008. For you who are not familiar with the place, it was a house in a park in Sthlm and it burned down for a couple of years ago. By then it was already lost because the city of Sthlm just snatched the place from the metalheads for whatever reason:( The end of a great era in Sthlm metal. Sucky lights and sometimes really bad sounds but it was home for a long time. Anyway, I went there a few times for the annual GENERAL SURGERY gig in the autumn so for me Tanto & GS (and Club Distotion;)) are forever connected. So that´s why all the nostalgic blahblah:))

GS pics 2008 for Corpus in extremis…


>>MORE (live clips etc)

They are out now (or should be…?) and in two versions: in red vinyl and also in black with red splatter on it. Limited to 500 copies each. Today I got one of them (a red one) from Laurent at Listenable Records (thanx Laurent!!:)) I love the bigger format because it makes my photos look so cool;) These crappy snapshots are of course nothing like the real thing. It so pretty I could cry:D
Photoshoot & CD stuff HERE. Have to fix up the gallery soon…a few HERE

Got some “presents” last week…
The first ones from my friend Erik who gave me the new  General Surgery cd promotion poster & some postcards. My photos, of course;) Think it looked good (in IRL)…here´s a couple of shitty photos of the stuff:

“Present” nr.2: My friends, Takashi and Miho, were here from Hiroshima, Japan last week visiting me. They had found an old issue of Young Guitar with an interview with Roger of Sonic Syndicate. And the photo of him is my work. Took it in the studio for a couple of years ago. Micke J. got also a pic in the article and he got all the photocredits. Bastard! Not his fault, of course…we´ll still be friends;)  Someone just didn´t give the info to the magazine when handing over the pics… Anyway. It looks like this:

I stopped saving all kinds of crap for a long time ago, but I always love to get magazines, posters,flyers and stuff with my photos on. So gimme!!!:)
The past week I tagged along with Kitty & Decadence two nights in a row to the deep forests where they shot their first musicvideo. I´ll give you some pics soon…and the video will be really cool!!

blogcdGot lots to take care of on extremmetal.se, but I never got the time I need…

 

Anyway, now I´ve updated the newest General Surgery page with a couple of promopics and some pics from the latest album Corpus In Extremis: Analysing Necrocriticism. All my photos, of course:) GREAT album, btw!!! More G.S. pics coming up one of these days…

 

My “springbreak” will soon be over and the first gig booked is the Girugamesh / Marionette show at Klubben the 10th of May. After that it will be quite a lot gigs…and other stuff. I hope I will find the time to do some portraits, too. Just for fun. So if someone feels like doing some modeling, mail me or give me a call and I´ll check my calendar! We just walk around for a couple of hours and take some cool pics…

Just wanted to tell you that some Peace & Love pics are posted on extreMMetal.se.

Got pics on this guy:

and this guy:

…and on a few more guys…

Another thing: There´s some changes in General Surgery´s lineup if you haven´t noticed! Dr. Sahlström (formerly known as Erik Tormentor) is the new vocalist in the band and today they took off to perform at the Obscene Extreme festival in Trutnov (don´t ask me to spell the name of the country!! You go and find out yourselves)
And I quote:

Dr. McWilliams out, Dr. Sahlström in.

Once again, our resident alcoholic Scottish doctor has decided to take leave of the band. Due to “administrative problems pertaining to morgue-related issues” (he’s too busy getting intoxicated to be of any use) he has finally broken down and given up his active duties in the band.

The torch has been handed over to new pathological talent, Dr. Erik Sahlström (Maze of Torment, Serpent Obscene). Rest assured he has been schooled well, and is already a nervous wreck from various initiation ceremonies to our wonderful world of gore.

The rest of it for you to read right HERE. One newly recorded song with Dr. Sahlström is also uploaded so check it out and grind your ass off!!:)))


The new General Surgery lineup

After taking some pics on GS i went down to Klubben to take some pics on japanese D´EspairsRay. I was just on time, schwooshed in, took some pics and off i went. The first time ever I didn´t stay to see the show, but I was in a real hurry. And hungry.
Don´t EVER go to Aspudden if you want some food after 21.00 PM!!! All the places are closed. You just waste your time driving around like we did. We wanted some tandoori chicken but ended up at McDonald´s in Västberga.
Gahhh!!! It didn´t make us happy! Less hungry, though:)

And finally: a pic on this guy too:
