I take it you don't enjoy Virgin Steele or Hades either?

Attacker - Battle At Helm's Deep

Damn it's good!

Look, if a band wants to sing about Nazi ideology, Attila the Bun, communism, nihilism and whatnot, it's not really my problem as long as it's just lyrics. You don't expect every band to acually believe in what they're singing about, do you? However, we do have a certain number of bands in Sweden cl...

They go by the name of "Widow" as well. I'm actually a bit confused as to which name is the correct one, Ritual or Widow.

Will see how it goes, it all depends on whether I can gain access to KiT IX or not.

Yesterdays haul:

Jamul - s/t LP (SEK 40)
Le Griffe - Breaking Strain EP (SEK 20)
Savage - Hyperactive LP (SEK 75)
Savage - We Got The Edge 12'' single (SEK 100)

About $35 in total, quite reasonable.

Yep, got my ticket yesterday. Looks very cool compared to the Swedish tickets, who all look the same. And it's numbered too!

Rumour has it Bobby's recording a new album, called "Last Rites of the Setting Sun". Not much is revealed, but it seems that it will feature some heavy collaboration with other doom celebrities. I'm keeping both fingers crossed.

Ahh, finally my area of expertise (?). Mostly hard rock/psych/prog and thereabouts: Armageddon Atomic Rooster Bang Black Widow Bolder Damn Born Again Dark Dies Irae Dust Frijid Pink Fuzzy Duck Icecross Incredible Hog Iron Maiden (I shit you not, the original band from the late sixties) Jamul Jenghiz...

Cool. I'm booking a hotel for all of us. (That is you, F*******, right?)

Sign me up as well. I ordered my ticket a week ago, but it hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully it'll turn up early next week.

Silly? Hah, don't even get me started on the Mike Oldfield-ish guitars in "War of the Ring".

I just remembered I have an autographed BATHORY-cd. If it counts...

My CD version of "Beyond The Crimson Horizon" by Solitude Aeturnus, is printed in Poland, apparently. I find it hard to believe it's an official release, but who knows? Anyone?

I used to loathe this album. The silly accent. The not-so-convincing organ. The nonexistent riffing. You name it.

Now I think it's great. I guess "Land Of Mystery" is an acquired taste. Or maybe I'm just getting old.

I, for one, will buy a ticket the day they are released (next monday, I believe). Now I just need to find suitable company for the trip.
