Death Angel’s Rob Cavestany

I picked it up on CD 29 years and 11 months ago at a record store in Sacramento, which is also where I saw them live for the third time, five years ago. In less than three months, I will see them again, for the fourth time, in Sweden.

Diamond Head @ 2016 Metal Brew

In less than two months I will be off to Europe. Today I received the good news that I will be shooting Copenhell again (Slayer, System of a Down, In Flames, Ministry, Saxon, Opeth, Overkill, Carcass, Baroness, Myrkur, Candlemass, Batushka, etc.) I’ve yet to hear back from Roskilde Festival and Gefle Metal Festival.

Even though I thoroughly enjoyed the 2016 Metal Magic Festival, I wasn’t planning on going back because it’s a long and expensive train ride from Copenhagen, and I’m teaching in Copenhagen the Friday right in the middle of the festival. However, they just announced that Diamond Head will be on the bill! Now I’m torn.

If Diamond Head is playing on Thursday or Saturday AND at least two of the bands below are also playing on Thursday or Saturday, then I will probably make the trip for just that day.

It’s been almost five years since I’ve seen In Flames. I’ll see them again at Copenhell in less than three months.
