EUROPE @ Palacio Vistalegre, 2013/06/26

Apparently this gig was part of the “Bag Of Bones Tour 2013”, but only the first two songs of the set belonged to that album – “Riches To Rags” and “Firefox”. After that it was a ride down classics avenue … Continue reading

MASSIVE AUDIO NERVE @ Belsepub Henriksberg, 2013/06/22

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. » When I arrived in Gothenburg that morning it seemed I had hit a ghost town – most locals had gone to the countryside to celebrate Midsommar and stayed there for the weekend. But there were still … Continue reading

BULT @ Belsepub Henriksberg, 2013/06/22

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. » After The End Of Grace were forced to withdraw their presence, Bult stepped in with their “progressive metal”. In quotes because that’s how they label themselves, although if you’d asked me, I’d say they play death metal with a … Continue reading

JUNKSTARS @ Debaser Slussen, 2013/06/13

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. » I confess I didn’t know much about Junkstars – except that they were a punk-ish rock band and had won the best Swedish newcomer at Bandit Rock Awards 2012. That was enough for me – punk rock … Continue reading

CRUNGE @ Debaser Slussen, 2013/06/13

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. » Crunge, who “don’t play grunge” as singer Mathias stated, don’t have a full-length album yet to promote, but a couple of EPs do the trick perfectly – “Desolate” (2011) and “Throwdown” (2012). The band explores a side of rock totally different from Librah – the … Continue reading

Maiden England World Tour @ Meo Arena, 2013/05/29

CRASHDÏET @ Sala Caracol, 2013/05/21

My third CRASHDÏET gig – second with Simon, first as headliners. And yes, third is the charm.  Simon was a bit drunk, but that didn’t compromise his performance, both vocal and as a guitarist. By the contrary! It made him … Continue reading

SISTER @ Sala Caracol, 2013/05/21

SISTER is much more my thing, even though I didn’t know them. Sure I’ve heard/read about them, probably on Sweden Rock Magazine, but for some reason I’d never got myself to listen to them. After this show, I’ll certainly keep … Continue reading

SLEEKSTAIN @ Sala Caracol, 2013/05/21

SLEEKSTAIN is a French rock band which I’d never heard about until that night. Sleazy name and look, but the music… meh. They weren’t bad, but their role as opening act was just that – an entertainment to kill time … Continue reading
