Black/death metal/"extreme" concert photos of intentionally questionable quality.  The primary objective is to document intense live experiences (generally occurring in the Nordic countries) to share with like-minded individuals. Pictures are taken by me with a crummy phone camera unless otherwise noted. Contact and gig calendar via my last.fm

Graveland @ Steelfest (Hyvinkää, Finland)

Perfect atmosphere and polished performance! Played tons of classics that I never thought I would hear live. Highlight of the festival without a doubt!

Temnozor’ @ Steelfest, Finland

This was first time seeing Темнозорь, and they definitely lived up to my expectations, both with regard to their musicianship, as well as their fantastic setlist which included: “Folkstorm of the Azure Nights”, “Werewolf”, “Where the Lazure Skies Tear the Hearts Apart”, “Vranakrik”, and “Did-Dub-Snop”. They also played “White Thunder Roars”, prefacing the piece by stating their wishes for an all-white Europe, or something to that effect, and leading the crowd in a fascist chant. 

While their politics are essentially on the opposite of the scale, compared to my own, the gig was still quite enjoyable.

Baptism @ Black Flames of Blasphemy

Helsinki, 2014

Baptism is generally quite hit-or-miss for me as a live band. However, on this occasion, they literally left me breathless with their execution, energy, and song selections. The set included encompassed works from 1998-2004 and their execution of “Wisdom & Hate” will be etched in my brain for some time to come.
