Happy Halloween

Nekrodelirium

#geflemetalfestival #geflemetal @sandra_stensen #halloween

One of my favorite things as a kid was listening to the radio on the night of Halloween while going through my recently acquired candy stash. Instead of hearing The Eagles or Boston for the millionth time, the stations would feature “scarier” tracks on Halloween evening. For instance, I can remember on the Halloween, just a week after my 14th birthday, hearing “The Number of the Beast” on the radio for the first time. That song remains a favorite, 37 years later, and Halloween continues to be my favorite holiday.

Happy birthday, Galder!

Sunday thoughts

Primordial @ 2019 Gefle Metal Festival

#primordial

This is my church
It stands so tall
Proud
And has done
For all time
It has no walls
Yet its vast halls
Reach from shore to shore

Today’s agenda

Krisiun @ 2017 Gefle Metal Festival

#geflemetalfestival #geflemetal @Krisiun #brutalAssault2019 #brutalassault @metalchurchis1

Followed by Sacred Reich, Metal Church (for the first time since July 2, 1987* at the Omni in Oakland, California!), Kampfar, Windhand, and more.

* If you would have told me 32 years and a month ago that I would see Metal Church next in over 32 years, in the Czech Republic no less, my mind would have exploded. Back in 1987 the Czech Republic didn’t even exist. Back then it was Czechoslovakia and part of the Soviet Union. Boy do I feel old…

Satyricon in Sweden

Satyricon @ 2019 Gefle Metal Festival

@satyricon #geflemetalfestival

Perhaps my favorite experience at 2018 Copenhell was Satyricon. So I was excited to see that I would get to see them again so soon at the 2019 Gefle Metal Festival. Sometimes the second time seeing a band after just a year can be disappointing. Such was not the case with Satyricon. If anything, I enjoyed their performance in Gävle even more.

I like how today’s photo came out with the Swedish colors of blue and yellow.

Most of the time when a Scandinavian band plays in another Scandinavian country they speak to the audience in English. Such was the case with Dimmu Borgir on the following night. However, Satyr, pictured above, spoke a lot between songs, and he did so all in Swedish.
