@COPENHELL #copenhell @coccabal
…I’ll be seeing Corrosion of Conformity again. They are back to being a four piece now. When I took today’s photo in 2011 they were down to three. Bands also at Copenhell this year, who I saw in Sweden seven years ago, include Ghost, Kreator, and Enslaved.

Today’s photo comes from the bridge (御廟橋) everyone must cross in order to reach Kobo Daishi’s mausoleum (弘法大師御廟) on Koyasan. I’ve never seen one of these before (or since), but my understanding is that this is set up for those who died in water accidents or who have some sort of water-related ailment. The pure water in the Tama River running past Kobo Daishi’s final resting place is supposed to bless them or their souls or something.
Happy birthday, King Diamond!

2018 Metal Magic schedule
@MetalMagicDK
…I’ll be boarding a bus in Copenhagen and heading to Fredericia for three days of awesome.
I only went to Metal Magic in 2016 to see Uli Jon Roth. However, on that day I discovered that fun and big don’t necessarily go along with each other as Metal Magic was a small festival that was extremely fun. Also, I experienced some bands I didn’t know or barely knew, like Iron Angel and Aosoth, who I now love.
In 2017 I waffled and then went just for Diamond Head. It was probably my best day of the entire year. Along the way I became a fan of Orm, Childrenn, and a couple others.
So this year I’m there for all three days even without a band like Uli Jon Roth or Diamond Head on the bill. I’m most looking forward to Master’s Hammer, Faanefjell, Pagan Altar, Alien Force, Hands of Orlac, Goblin, and FIN–all of whom I was completely or mostly unfamiliar with a few months ago.
