TAAKE – Steelfest 15/5 2022

I love Norway and many Norwegian bands, but TAAKE is definitely the most “Norway” to me. Epic (as always) show. Even with only one guitar. The second guitar ( Aindiachaí or Sanrabb ?) was on his way but got stuck somewhere for some stupid reason and couldn´t get to the festival:/ Gjermund is a hero and an awesome musician so in the end it all had the best possible outcome. Ofc they played Myr also. Banjo solos rule!:D
Pehr from ALFAHANNE appeared on stage again for one song:)
On stage @ Steelfest: Hoest Rune Nesse (drums) Gjermund Fredheim (guitar & banjo) V’gandr (bass)

ANTIMATERIA – Steelfest 15/5 2022

“Every single element of Antimateria looks totally devoted to Atmospheric Black Metal in its purest meaning, even the production work, enough clean to let us tell each single instrument and yet sufficiently home-madeish to highlight the darkest vein of the arrangement”
–Juno Bloodlust, 2016 review of “Valo Aikojen Takaa”

VALKYRJA – Steelfest 15/5 2022

VALKYRJA got booked kinda in the last minute because of a sudden free spot in the festival line up. Good to see them live again. First time I saw Linus (IXXI, SINIESTRO etc) on stage with them.
Janetta (merch & my roommate) actually took time off from the booth just to see the band:)

KALMANKANTAJA – Steelfest 15/5 2022

Local guys from Hyvikää who obviously have played several times at Steelfest. Was looking for clips on Youtube but nothing yet from this years festival. But there is some previous ones to find.
Not really sure of the line up but Aki Klemm alias Grim666 has done all instruments since the start in 2011. Later addition for Tyrant (Niko Lindell) for vocals since 2016. Guess the rest of the guys are live musicians? Enlighten me if needed.

ALFAHANNE – Steelfest 15/5 2022

ALFAHANNE – always the right choice. Been awhile since the last gig I saw with the guys and they still got it for sure. Awesome show.
Notes: Addition to the line up I remember is keyborards by Stefan Eriksson. They do often have guest vocalists and this time it was Spellgoth from HORNA.
Spellgoth has also appeared on one of their albums and so has many others, like Hoest (TAAKE) and V’gandr (HELHEIM), Dolk (KAMPFAR), Erlend Hjelvik (KVELERTAK), Nattfursth (SORHIN), David Lindh (YVONNE and BRODER DANIEL), Sanrabb (GEHENNA) and Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING). So you never really know who´s showing up on stage with them:)
Band: Pehr Skjoldhammer – Fredrik Sööberg – Niklas Åström – Jimmy Wiberg – Stefan Eriksson

HELLBOOZER UNION – Steelfest 15/5 2022

Best way to start a very tired 4th day was the awesome roast pig buffet and HELLBOOZER UNION. Somewhat different from the rest of the bands at Steelfest but lots of fun and actually a really good band. According to themselves they sound like “A vomit bursting out at sunday morning” :D In addition they also got the vocalist from the BURZUM cover/tribute band “IMPENETRABLE DARKNESS” running around with a bowl of blood. Completely naked.
Hard to find any clips but a bit from Steelfest 10 years ago.

A.M.S.G. (SEIGNEUR VOLAND) – Steelfest 2022

A bit tricky one…but A.M.S.G. was actually SEIGNEUR VOLAND
The M.A. : “Xaphan conceptualized the band in 1996 while serving a prison sentence for grave desecration. He was released in April 1999 and recruited the other members.
Reformed to play live for 3 reunion gigs in 2004 (Netherlands, Switzerland and France) and again in 2019 (Finland, Belgium, Germany and Ukraine), Japan in 2020 (Tokyo and Osaka), and again in 2022 when they played a surprise set at SteelFest using the name “AMSG”.”

So there you go. Need to figure out where to sort them in the band list:/ Really cool band live!
Btw..Steelfest still got some official band merch to buy from their webpage!

OSCULUM INFAME – Steelfest 14/5 2022

“Osculum infame is the name of a witch’s supposed ritual greeting upon meeting with the Devil. The name means the ‘shameful kiss’ or ‘kiss of shame’, since it involved kissing the devil’s anus, his “other” mouth” – Wiki
French black metal founded already 1993. Had no idea about them before but it was weird and fantastic! Really good recordings also. They´ve made a bunch of demo´s, EP´s and some compilation but only 2 full length albums. The latest in 2015. Anyways, good stuff!
