Unbelievably awesome

Last night I went to see five metal bands perform live at the Present Aarhus Festival in heart of our home city. I’ve been to death metal shows roughly this size before, but this was unlike anything I have ever experienced. Ever. My friend and I managed to get way up to the stage, right in the center of the pit, and held our ground there for the entire set of shows, Pariah Syndicate, Oktan, Scamp, Exmortem and Hatesphere. 

I managed to get a few pictures to show here later, but for the most part I was completely absorbed in five hours of thrashing, drinking, headbanging, and roaring along with everyone else there. The bands were incredible, particularly Scamp (the lead vocalist, Mikael Rise, poured a gasoline-tank full of whisky on our heads) and Hatesphere (who had the entire pit thrashing insanely their entire set). We went there not knowing exactly what to expect, and staggered out of pure, metal awesome about five hours later.

All in all it was just f***ing amazing. Especially since this was on a goddamn thursday. Friday morning with three hours of sleep, several bruises and a hangover is kinda brutal, though.

(Sorry about long post and lack of pictures, I’ll post some another day.)

Illdisposed

Looks like Hannibal and I are going to go see Illdisposed live in october. Illdisposed are one my favorite Death Metal bands, and I’m psyched to be going! The gig is part of the band’s scandinavian tour and will be at Voxhall in Aarhus on the 11th of october. I urge any danish metalheads reading this to be there!

Back and smashed.

Flew back from Chicago yesterday, after an awesome time stateside. Took the trip on my own and spent ten days with some friends. It was great, especially going to a short Cavalera Conspiracy concert, which (almost) made up for missing Metaltown in june. The trip back took forever though, haven’t slept in nearly 30 hours and I’m battered.

Now I have the house to myself for the next two or three weeks, looking forward to trashing it with friends, getting some drawing done, and turning my amp volume way up without complaints. Might upload some more pictures from the trip another time. Good to hear from you guys again

Damnit

Looks like I’m going to miss the Metaltown festival this year…

I had a blast there last summer and I was hoping to go with some others this year, but unfortunately I don’t have enough money for the trip to Göteborg. 

Anyway, if you like any kind of metal and live in Scandinavia, I encourage you to go.

Good heavy times to be had by all.
