John Baizley of Baroness @ 2017 Copenhell

@COPENHELL #copenhell @YourBaroness

I’m 90-something percent sure that I will be back for 2018 Copenhell. No bands have been announced yet. I wish Baroness could be there again, but Copenhell doesn’t invite the same band in back-to-back years. Hopefully, as far as the lineup goes, the headliners are better in 2018. Slayer and System of a Down were great, but Prophets of Rage, Five Finger Death Punch, and Rob Zombie are not my cup of tea.

If I could pick three headliners for 2018 they would be: Iron Maiden, Rammstein, and Mastodon. Other bands I’d love to see at 2018 Copenhell, in no particular order, include: Aosoth, Diamond Head, Nervosa, UFOMAMMUT, Exodus, Devin Townsend, Possessed, SUMAC, Enslaved, Kreator, Watain, Accept, King Diamond, Yob, Death Angel, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Pentagram, Satyricon, KAMPFAR, Cradle of Filth, Russian Circles, Wolves in the Throne Room, Coroner, Sodom, Neurosis, and Swans. Exceptions to the “no consecutive years rule” are occasionally made for local bands. If so, please have Slægt play again.

1853 Ceremonial Hall @ University of Copenhagen

Built in 1853, I was lucky enough to get views from every angle of the classic Ceremonial Hall on the campus of the University of Copenhagen this past summer. In the summer of 2018 I plan to experience my fifth summer in Denmark.

Sort Sol @ 2017 Roskilde Festival

Sort Sol @ 2017 Roskilde Festival (Denmark)

Sort Sol has played at the Roskilde Festival seven times. 2017 was their first appearance since 2001 though. I had never heard of them. I didn’t plan to see them. It was the final day of the festival (actually it was after 2 a.m. on the morning after the final day of the festival), and I was tired. However, a new Danish friend said I had to see them so I did. Wow! Great show.

Here is a small taste of that morning.
