Before this evening, almost a month ago, Watain were among the top five bands I wanted to see live that I hadn’t. The evening was spectacular, and the drumstick thrown out at the end of the performance (2 something a.m.) landed in my own very hands. Thank you Jesus. More photos of Watain to come…

So who are the five bands, still active, that I have yet to see live you ask?

Rammstein
Behemoth
Kampfar
Russian Circles (seeing soon!)
Chelsea Wolfe (seeing soon!–missed at Roskilde Festival this year due to the fact that I had to teach all day the following day and wouldn’t have made it home before 4 a.m.)

We are currently in Italy, Northern Italy (Lake Como, Varenna) to be more specific. Today’s photo comes from my daughter‘s visit a few weeks back in Copenhagen. I miss the place already. Will my Denmark adventures happen again next year? I hope so.

I have several dozen photos to process from the trip, but here was the view from Lions Locker (an overrated breakfast joint). Our favorite breakfast was at Ladó Café. Get the crepes (pancakes according to the menu) with homemade jam, and enjoy, perhaps, the best breakfast you’ve ever had.

P.S. Lions Locker recommended their own crepes. Perhaps they are just as good. We opted for something else given that we had just had crepes the morning before.

This night, at 2018 Roskilde Festival, was one of the best of my life. I love Dark Tranquillity (who I have now seen in three different countries!). They were fabulous, as was Clutch before them and Nine Inch Nails after them.

I met a guy during their set who said something about knowing the band, yada, yada, yada. Anyway, during NIN the same guy appeared with Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquillity to introduce him to me. I probably said a bunch of stupid stuff at this point (it being long after midnight). After every song I turned around to see Mikael still standing there with a smile on his face during the NIN set. I may have hugged him a dozen times and told him that I loved him. Nobody really knows what happened at this point. It was a lovely evening.

New Bloodbath album has been recorded and should be out soon. There is reason to live.
