[Steelfest “Aftermovie” by Gronn Onland (check out his YouTube channel for more stuff!!!]
Anyways…my second Steelfest was pure awesomeness once again. For many, many reasons but most important ones: Great bands, great gigs, no nonsens @ good company.
Hugest thanks to Jani Steelfest, all the staff – especially my brightly shining coffee lady & pickle queen Johanna S., my flatmates (well…need to have a place to stay next year also. Need to play nice;)), everyone I met old & new friends & acquaintances. Aaaaaaaand the weather!!:D
If you for some reason have missed it for this long, the next dates are set: 16 to 18th of May 2024. All bands still TBA but expect nothing else than a perfect fest.
I´ve seen these guys many times (latest was just a week or so ago in Finland) and they have always been great. Still, they can take it up a notch every now and then and this gig was for sure one of those with extra everything. Crazy & sweaty kick ass show!!:D
“DESTRÖYER 666 continue to do what they are best at: kicking ass and hammering out heavy metal that is slamming straight into the face. No compromise, no sell out, no bullshit!” – Season of Mist
“Lucifer’s Child is an unholy creation of George Emmanuel (Rotting Christ, ex-Chaostar) and Stathis Ridis (Nightfall) based in Athens, Greece, formed in 2013. The band’s music serves a spiritual introduction to the atmospheric world of Black Metal. Pulsating the energy of ritualistic lyrics and the horrifying electrism of black music, Lucifer’s Child create a unity between the sound and the spiritual idea that each creation serves to the listeners” – Band bio
Killer performance!! First time ever I saw LUCIFER´S CHILD live but had some high expectations and this band is really good! Met George the last time when he was still in Rotting Christ, so it was fun to catch up a bit. He´s keeping busy with the band and the recording studio. Hope it doesn´t take too long until next time.
“NERVOCHAOS was born on the fall of 1996, with the idea of creating aggressive and chaotic music. NERVOCHAOS gained cult status in the extreme music scene due to their hard work over the past years, offering a sonic extravaganza in their unique way” – Band bio
Brazilian guys first out this evening. A new band for me.
Mitt 15e MARDUK gig och ett av dom bästa. Såg mesta giget uppe på ena scenkanten med lite bra folk och bara uppskattade manglet. Ser redan framemot att se dom igen på Steelfest i maj!!
Den Finska festen är för övrigt ett av det bästa som existerar just nu i den här överkänsliga världen så inte för sent ännu att bestämma sig för den:) En bra chans att komma undan all bullshit en stund.
Notering: Nille var inte med! Han var iväg och tuffade runt med KATATONIA istället. Har inte namnet på den inhoppande gitarristen men allt funkade och lät som sig bör så det är huvudsaken.
Kapten Olsson som inlånad gitarrist igen när den ordinarie Titan är på sjukledighet. Givetvis iförd i samma tröja som specialsunkades för honom i GBG förra året xD
Kaptenen (från Angrepp) är nära släkt med IXXI, så funkar svinbra med honom men Titan borde va tillbaks till GBG giget i slutet av maj!!
Bra spelning som fan.
“Sorcery was formed during the summer of 1986 and was influenced early on by the harder part of the hard rock spectrum. On the first demo from 1987 there are clear thrash influences but on the next release from 1988 the band has changed focus to what was to become known as Swedish death metal, something that the third demo from 1989 is an even clearer proof of.” – Band bio

“Kryptan is an atmospheric black metal band from Avesta, Sweden. Founded in early 2020, right at the beginning of the global pandemic, Kryptan took shape to embody the passion for black metal that songwriter and guitarist Mattias “Kryptan” Norrman harboured for decades.
A familiar face in the scene, Mattias, who is most recognized for playing guitar in October Tide and previously bass in Katatonia, has long striven for his very own musical endeavour.” – Band bio
Helt nytt band för mig. Bra live, ska lyssna in lite bättre.
