#GefleMetalFestival
@JoQuailCello

I was supposed to see MYRKUR again this summer, twice. However, she is pregnant and has cancelled her shows. Jo Quail took her spot at the Gefle Metal Festival this past weekend. KADAVAR is her replacement at Brutal Assault, but I may miss them due to a time conflict with Hypocrisy and Cult of Luna. I love all three bands so it will be hard to choose. Maybe all of Hypocrisy and a bit of the other two, as I haven’t seen Hypocrisy before.

Anyway, back to Jo Quail. Her music is wonderful, looping, hypnotic soundscapes that I quite enjoy. I don’t understand why more metal bands don’t have someone on a cello. I’m pretty sure this was the second time I’ve seen Jo Quail. I think she was on the cello when MYRKUR did her softer set at 2018 Roskilde Festival on the Gloria Stage.

I kind of wish they had swapped her spot with Primordial, but then I wouldn’t have been able to see Night Crowned so it all worked out.

A week ago, this happened. In three weeks, it will happen again at the Brutal Assault Festival in the Czech Republic.

I’ve been seeing photos of Thomas Dambo’s work online for a couple years now. This year, given that I’m living as far west of central Copenhagen as ever, seemed like a good year to venture out and see some of his Forgotten Giants in the wild. As of yesterday, I’m up to four. This is the first one I encountered, last month, entitled Sovende Louis.

Another amazing year of the Metal Magic Festival has come to an end. I brought my camera, expecting not to use it much, but I somehow ended up with almost a thousand photos. Many of them will appear here in the coming months/years, but for today I’ll just share a few.

I was going to see The Cure, and then I opted for Behemoth instead. But The Cure played for so long (27 songs!) that I was actually able to catch the last five songs or so after Behemoth.

Below is a super high-quality video of “Pictures of You” which I missed as it was much earlier in their set.
