Utan varken ord eller ansiktsuttryck startar de kvällens spelning med inledningsspåret på första plattan Souvenirs D’un Autre Monde. Det är en liten skara om 169 besökare i publiken ikväll och stämningen tar sig direkt. Neiges klara, harmlösa röst ackompanjeras av gitarristen Zeros underbara, drömska nynnande. Åh, den fantastiska rösten. Det är så jävla vackert att…

The support for this tour is ReVamp – the new band of former After Forever singer Floor Jansen. Its ReVamp’s first…
Nuclear Blast/Sound Pollution Phoenixbandet FLOTSAM AND JETSAM har orättvist oftast fått mest uppmärksamhet för att de levererat Jason Newstedt till METALLICA. Tjafs. Tänk på att de i eget namn släppt tio skivor med denna, 12 singlar/EPS och tre DVD. Skivdebuten kom 1986 med ”Doomsday for the Deceiver”, enda skivan som fått 6K av 5 möjliga…

Tonights gig is like the rest of The Levellers current tour, sold out well in advance. The Levellers have a reputation as a superb live band, so I’m looking forwards to seeing them for the first time tonight. Knowing that the support on this leg of the tour is The Wonderstuff is a real bonus…
Tonights support comes from Scottish act The Pictish Trail (aka singer Johnny Lynch). Its hard to describe the sort of music Pictish Trail performs – much of it is probably best descibed as folk, played on an acoustic guitar, but Pictish Trial also includes electronic synth music with a drum machine. Banter between songs keeps…
I was told before attending last night’s concert that it’s going to be crazy and awesome. So I thought I am in for a nice treat. But I could, by no means, expect the epic show that I witnessed. Each time I recall fragments of it I wear a big smile on my face. I…

Massacre/Sound Pollution SIX REASONS TO KILL are amongst the forerunners of metal/hardcore, and are a big name in the underground scene. They started out with a lot of death metal in their sound, but have since developed into a hybrid of modern and extreme death, hardcore, added atmosphere and touches of electronica. They have gigged…
