The port is fair indeed!

This is beauty! This is love in music!

One evening as I rambled
Among the leaves so green
I overheard a young woman
Converse with Reynardine

Her hair was black, her eyes were blue
Her lips as red as wine
And he smiled to gaze upon her
Did that sly old Reynardine

She said, ”Kind sir, be civil
My company forsake
For in my own opinion
I fear you are some rake”

”Oh no,” he said, ”no rake am I
Brought up in Venus” train
But I’m seeking for concealment
All along the lonesome plain”

”Your beauty so enticed me
I could not pass it by
So it’s with my gun I’ll guard you
All on the mountains high”

”And if by chance you should look for me
Perhaps you’ll not me find
For I’ll be in my castle
Inquire for Reynardine”

Sun and dark, she followed him
His teeth did brightly shine
And he led her up a-the mountains
Did that sly old Reynardine 

Thräshing in the Förbidden Wörld

I’ve been getting into Antichrist’s fullenght debut ”Forbidden World” this past week since their going to kick out the jams at Muskelrock. They turned out to be sort of a pleasent surprise, retro-thrash with a modern twist. I now they’ve been getting some hype lately but I haven’t really cared since I’ve not been interested in thrash for quite some time… but it feels like this album turned my mind around on that point.

Conclusion: Overall ferociously fine, vocals are over the top awesome, spot on! Feels like a live band, I know I will enjoy this live.

Tradera, plånbokens gissel.

Managed to bid away all my last money on denim and leather.
Well what to say.. I blame Saxon.

Madness all around us.

Nasum, Vomitory and Bombus… and Takida… on the same poster…such madness only resides within the murky depths of my hometown. Örebronx.

97 decibel is all you’re getting !

The mailman brings me all types of candy. The countdown to Muskelrock på Tyrolen has begun. I’m listening to Bolt Thrower, my neighbours probably hate me, but who cares.. as it looks right know I’m going to be homeless in a month or so anyway.

Sweet life.

Something less sweet is the fact that a retarded law regarding the sound volume of concerts and clubs in Sweden is about to be set in action. As it is right now the decibel level is not allowed to exceed 100 decibel (extremly low).. and now it’s probably going to be lowered even further, to 97 decibel. Bandbookers in my banana shaped country have actually started worrying about bands refusing to be booked since the law wont allow them to perform at a reasonable volume.

My thoughts about this in swedish:

”Forskning visar att människor får mer ont i öronen av höga ljud än man tidigare trott.. Socialstyrelsen skrider till handling och skärper decibellagarna, i hopp om att dunka in sista spiken i kistan för all musik som inte innefattar tystlåtna uppmärksamhetssökande gitarrkillar… men det gör ju inget för det är väll ändå den enda kulturyttring som är värd att ta till sig? eller har jag missat något?”
Kalla mig rättshaverist men vad fan…

Shit is fucked up and bullshit.

Poison Idea’s got to have the best band appearance of all time.
The odd lot.

Come to the Sabbat folks

Download Sacrifice (1970)

A nice slab of occult rock from 70′, they remind me of Coven, the drunken brittish version of Coven… They had the same goofy satanic approach with sacrifices and other fairly dark stuff taking place on the stage,  that of course stirred some noise back in the days. They started out as ”Pesky Gee”, wich I think means ”annoying old pervert”.. a bit softer and more psychedelic than Black widow, but since 1970 was a year of the goat the lads felt it appropriate to change their name, release ”Sacrifice” and fool around a bit with black magic. Their most popular track ”Come to the Sabbat”, featured on this release, has been covered by bands like Death SS and Church of Misery.

OM live

Saw OM perform live! It was intense, really intense, my eardrums are still ringing two days after the show! The hole experience had sort of an almost religious feeling to it, and they sounded so much heavier in real life! I liked the fact that they had a guy with a syntheziser and a tambourine who performed some drones with a middle eastern touch! That element’s not something they’ve featured on their album recordings. Apart from a couple of bong-hoffing breaks during which
Al Cisneros dissapeared behind the amplifiers, the songs seemed to melt together.

Hung out witch a bunch of nice people.

I didn’t get a single good photo of the show.. so this might not be such a worthwhile post, still I’d like to think it’s not completly pointless since you get a snap of the nice OM shirt i bought myself.

Know I’m of to a show with the locals Asteroid
