This summer has been more than giving musicwise. A 1,5 month trip to Sweden gave me plenty of opportunities for new shows and loads of new music accompanied with barrels of beer and great people. The experience started off 13th of July with amongst others Seeds in Barren Fields . Unluckily it was Friday 13th so the bands had to copy with some technical issues. But the spirit was there, and the result turned out pretty good..
A few days later, I had the wonderful timing of seeing 2 great bands. The norwegian dark in feeling black metal Okkultokrati and the great recent discovery (at least for me) of the stoner/ sludge/ metal triad, Black Tusk. I can say that the energy throughout the whole gig was amazing. Black Tusk closed the live by playing Crossroads and Thunder, which Ive concluded is my favourite song of their latest album Set the Trial. I also found out that they ve made a few splits lately, including a 7" split with Holy Mountain on No Idea Records. (who you should check out btw! )
After a light Swedish rainy summer weekend, followed another pleasant discovery of the swedish doom/ sludge band Pyramido. After Pyramidos great performance, which had enslaved the mind of the "crowd", it was Eyehategods turn. To be honest I was rather dissapointed, since it felt like they couldnt play as they should...perhaps, they had a few drinks more than they should.....
The climax came in the end of the trip to the Scandinavian centre, and that was during a city fest in Gothenburg. I am planning on writing a post pretty soon with all the details, but I can say that after seeing 7 seconds, Adolescents and Refused on Jazzhuset, I couldnt feel anything else but redemption. Here you have, at least for now, some pictures taken from lukinzine.
