Insatiable desire for live music
@satyricon #geflemetalfestival
I’ve gone longer periods of time without live music. In the 90s, for instance, I would go months without seeing a live performance. That had a lot to do with how busy I was with my career and young family though. Over the past decade I’ve become accustomed to live music a few times a month and nearly everyday in the summers.
I’ve only been to a couple live shows this year and haven’t been to one in three months now. That was OK because I had so many lined up this summer. But now all of those have been cancelled so I’m chomping at the bit. I’m even toying with the idea of flying to Mexico in November to see Satyricon at Mexico Metal Fest (which also includes Kreator, Mayhem, Sodom, Nile, Destruction, Pentagram, Tankard, and 1349). Of course, Mexico Metal Fest may get cancelled too so for now I’m just trying to be patient and hope that 2021 returns to normal.
Today’s photo was taken at the 2019 Gefle Metal Festival. I wasn’t planning on going to the 2020 edition because it was the same weekend as Metal Magic. In 2021 Gefle Metal Festival will not clash with Metal Magic so I may be making another trip to Sweden.

@_Therion #brutalassault
Back in the 1990s I didn’t listen to, or like, much of the new music coming out. Grunge, alternative metal, nu metal, rap rock, and the like did nothing for me. Instead, for new music anyway, I turned to some of the sounds coming out of Scandinavia which included black metal and some of the heavier strains of symphonic metal. Among many other bands, I listened to exactly one of Therion’s albums, Theli.
Flash forward twenty or more years. Therion now has 16 studio albums of which I’ve heard one, and that one I haven’t listened to in close to two decades. They hit the stage of Brutal Assault and proceeded to perform the entire album that I’m familiar with! What are the odds?
