This is the time of year when the festivals in Europe begin to release their lineups for the following year. Last year Copenhell announced that Kellermensch would be on the bill. I had never heard of them. So I went to their Facebook page and read that they like “Tom Waits, Neil Young, and Neurosis”. I thought, “wow, what a combo, this sounds interesting”. I love Neil Young and Neurosis by the way.

Since then I’ve listened to everything Kellermensch has done many times, and they’ve become a favorite. Their show at 2018 Copenhell was incredible.

Here they are covering Neil Young’s “Don’t Let it Bring You Down” many years before they played it again at Copenhell.

It’s not easy shooting a band who plays in the pitch blackness, with nothing but head lamps for lighting. Today’s photo was nearly an instant delete (as it was just a small red light as a jpg). However, when I pulled up the RAW file and lightened it a bit this pattern over the image appeared. Anyone know the source of this design? Given that it isn’t coming from the light, is it from my camera’s sensor, the lens, or just a ghost?

Copenhagen in 2019 appears to be taking shape once again; this will be four years in a row (and sixth summer in Scandinavia).
