@satyricon #geflemetalfestival
Perhaps my favorite experience at 2018 Copenhell was Satyricon. So I was excited to see that I would get to see them again so soon at the 2019 Gefle Metal Festival. Sometimes the second time seeing a band after just a year can be disappointing. Such was not the case with Satyricon. If anything, I enjoyed their performance in Gävle even more.
I like how today’s photo came out with the Swedish colors of blue and yellow.
Most of the time when a Scandinavian band plays in another Scandinavian country they speak to the audience in English. Such was the case with Dimmu Borgir on the following night. However, Satyr, pictured above, spoke a lot between songs, and he did so all in Swedish.

In no particular order…
Watain, Trident Wolf Eclipse
At The Gates, To Drink From The Night Itself
Black Oath, Behold the Abyss

A Perfect Circle, Eat The Elephant
Behemoth, I Loved You At Your Darkest

And since I didn’t do one of these in 2017, a couple of favorites from late in 2017:
Pagan Altar, The Room of Shadows
Satyricon, Deep Calleth Upon Deep
For 2019 I’m really looking forward to new Tool and Rammstein (and seeing both bands too).

I’m not 100% committed to the 2019 Gefle Metal Festival yet. Although it doesn’t conflict with Metal Magic, like it did last year, many of the acts will also be at Copenhell (so far Dimmu Borgir and Eluveitie) and maybe Roskilde. However, today’s announcement of Satyricon’s appearance may assist in getting me there. Satyricon, even on the smallest stage, was one of my favorite performances at 2018 Copenhell.

I wasn’t able to see all of the bands I wanted to see at Copenhell due to there being three stages, with two frequently going simultaneously. I opted for Satyricon over Alestorm, with the thought that I’d leave Satyricon early to catch the end of Alestorm. I couldn’t ditch Satyricon though; they were way too good. I would have happily missed Ghost to experience Satyricon for another hour or two. Satyricon did end in time for Ghost though.
