Nicolaj Ju of Grusom @ High Voltage (RIP) – June 2021

When I last posted a Grusom photo (a little over three years ago), they had broken up, but I expressed hope that they would get the band back together someday. Well, today is that day as Grusom just released their third album.

Grusom’s Nicolaj Hoffmann @ 2018 Metal Magic Festival

I love Grusom, even though they no longer exist. I somehow missed them at 2016 Copenhell. They may have been on at the same time as Tribulation. I don’t remember why exactly.

Anyway, flash forward two years, and they were on the Metal Magic bill. I didn’t miss them there. They made my list of best albums in 2018.

And then, last summer, I was extraordinarily lucky to see their final show at High Voltage in Copenhagen. Maybe they’ll get back together someday? I hope so.

Sadly, Grusom announced today that they have “decided to part ways”. This was a fantastic show (and day/night/next morning on my summer travels).

Pagan Altar, The Room of Shadows

Satyricon, Deep Calleth Upon Deep

For 2019 I’m really looking forward to new Tool and Rammstein (and seeing both bands too).
