Kvelertak - Sjøhyenar

Kvelertak, the main act and the last band out from last weekend's nice rock package. Kvelertak who have visited Tune Of The Day several times, and this gig was probably No. 4 with the band. As with previous shows, it's full speed from the first note to the last and the band really gives everything live, an incredible joy to be involved. I will not be long-winded today, states that this was a great gig once again.

I had a tough time getting to the setlist together but I think in retrospect that two new songs were played, possible that I'm wrong, correct me please in such case.

After the gig did i made a customary visit to the merchandise place to purchase evening t-shirt, stood and choose from purchasing a Toxic Holocaust t-shirt or a Kvelertak, it ended however with a Kvelertak with following printing, neat huh? Too bad not TH had any vinyls with it, that I wanted to buy.

Here is some tour pictures by Mads Maurstad 

Metro - Stockholm, Sweden

Strand - Stockholm, Sweden

Trondheim, Norway

Helsinki, Finland

Sauna - Helsinki, Finland

Probably setlist:

Sjøhyenar (Havets herrer)

Nekroskop

Offernatt

Engel - Feed The Weak

Today we break the pattern again and check out what happened last week when Engel opened up for Arch Enemy at Tyrol, Stockholm.

It was a really enjoyable day on Tyrol and a really nice visit by Engel as well as the good friend Steve Drennan. Were we talking about everything between heaven and earth. However, the focus was on the construction of the Arch Enemy stage set that in the end was really neat, more about Arch Enemy tomorrow when Thetania talks about the gig. Rosenhill who was the winner of Arch Enemy local support act contest opened up the evening at Tyrol, it was actually quite ok.

A fairly common sight nowadays is that vacancies musicians go out and tour with other bands as a technician, this time it was, "Mas (Masmiseim)" bassist from Samael who was lighting technician for Arch Enemy and Engel. A really cool guy and he had either ADHD or something else, as he was like a Duracell rabbit :)

Then it was time for Engel to show where the cabinet should stand and they did in earnest, the whole band looked incredibly tagged and were really tight, not surprising when one has been on the road with Pain (A report on Pain's gig will be in next week). That Niclas Engelin not playing live did´nt really matter cos Marcus Sunesson does a great job live. Engel really turn on the audience and warms them up properly before it is time for the main act. The final word to Engel, You did an exquisite performance!

Engel is a melodic death metal/industrial band with alternative Influences from Gothenburg, Sweden. They are Currently signed to Frenchtown label Season of Mist. The band shared the stage with Still Remains, and toured around Europe with Amon Amarth and Dimmu Borgir. They were also part of Paradise Lost's "Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us" tour, along with Katatonia and Samael. Last tour they did before Arch Enemy was with Pain.

Former bass player Michael Håkansson left the band on August 14, 2008 to pursue other opportunities. Steve Drennan (Amon Amarth) took over playing bass during November 2008. During 2010, the band replaced their drummer, Daniel "Mojjo" Moilanen with Jimmy Olausson, who also plays drums for Marionette

At the moment Engel putting together album number three, scheduled to be released in spring next year, hoping that it is not causes trouble for themselves as it did last time with that release.

During this gig, I actually had "Big Mama" with me so today I can offer you some decent pictures.

Here are some photos:

If you wanna see more pictures of Engel, check out Tune Of The Day on Facebook.

Current Line Up:

Magnus "Mangan" Klavborn – vocals (2002–present)
Niclas Engelin – guitar (2002–present)
Marcus Sunesson – guitar (2002–present)
Steve Drennan – bass guitar (2008–present)
Jimmy Olausson – drums (2010–present)

Todays tune "Feed The Weak" is taken from the second album "Threnody"
This is the final Engel release with Daniel "Mojjo" Moilanen on drums.
Threnody was finished by the end of 2008, but due to issues with their former label, SPV GmbH, the release of the album was delayed.

Saviours - Crete’n

Saviours is an American rock, stoner metal band. The band was formed in 2004 in Oakland, California. Since then, they have released four full-length albums and few EPs.

The Californian quartet shuffles around in a not-quite-fixed-land by releasing a record that fingers little here and there. Death Procession feels rather comfortable in my ears and this sounds like a bearded mix of sludgy thrash and sweet Stoner and that becomes a thickened riff experience. To my somewhat limited access to their previous works makes my curiosity is growing and realizing that I had to check up on their earlier records. The new album is also released on Vinyl. It Should be noted That the vinyl of Death's Procession Have Embossed covers for The First Run.

Their words about new album:

The main influence on their latest album is Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Thin Lizzy. The whole record is a trek through Earth’s demise which everyone contributes to, oblivious or not. It’s a procession toward death. The world has gone insane. Humans have become apathetic, greedy, self-centered, over-medicated, delusional parasites in a filthy, drained and deflated world. It’s hopeless now, too far gone. Now we wait. That’s what this record is about. Earth’s possession and death’s procession.

Death’s Procession was recorded by Phil Manley (of Trans Am and The Fucking Champs) at Lucky Cat in San Francisco.

The band consists of:
Austin Barber - vocals, lead & rhythm guitar
Sonny Christopher Reinhardt - lead & rhythm guitar
Cyrus Comiskey (Black Fork, Drunk Horse) - bass
Scott Batiste - drums

The band is on tour currently and lands in Sweden in late October for three dates, Gothenburg, Stockholm and Linkoping. See rest of the tour below.

Christoffer Röstlund Jonsson wrote a review of the new record in the Metro newspaper, read it here!

Behemoth - Lucifer

 

Polish blackened death metallers Behemoth have released thier new video for the song "Lucifer" off the band's current album, "Evangelion".

Behemoth recently rehearsed for the first time since Darski was diagnosed with leukemia last August. The group also started writing a new song, which was described by Nergal as "fast, furious, but more evil in a way."

He added, "Just wait and see us on the stage. You'll see. I'm not going to reveal anything about it, but we … It's not gonna just be BEHEMOTH. It's not like time stood still for us, like we were frozen in time and are just going to appear with the same entourage and in the same outfits. No. We're going to come back, we want to remind people of our existence obviously, but we want to make a fucking impact, an impression. We want to show them that, hey, we are still fucking evolving. We're not just hoping that you'll come to see us because I was sick. Fuck that. I'll be better soon and we're going to deliver!"

Behemoth will go out and tour in early 2012 in Europe, then shortly after that, a U.S. tour. Check the dates below.

Vektor - Destroying The Cosmos

 

Vektor is a sci-fi thrash metal band from Tempe, Arizona. They portray the future as a bleak, barren wasteland that has been destroyed by greed, power, corruption, hate, violence, ignorance, and control.

Black Future is the second full-length album. It was released in 2009. The album is a brilliant musical knockout.

The lyrics are a bit odd to be an Thrash album, not that the standard meaningless poetry that deals with subjects of Party's, hard living, love, fuck around etc, but this raises the universe, cosmos and the media in between, it is a journey into controversial places, which is very interesting.

When you look at the cover one thinks immediately that this is a Voivod copy, but you get deceive. The music is a wonderful mix of Progresiv Black Metal based on a classical frame of Thrash. Very well written rolling bismuth riffs, heavy melodic passages and briliant snarling vocals. Guitarists possesses an incredible technical skill in their work, the other in the rhythm section consisting of a very tight drummer and a bassist who can play more than three notes, and really-abuse his instrumment. Something else that is very odd for a Thrash album is the length of the songs, here are three tracks that passes 10 minutes.

Black Future is a very well executed plate, as in a review would probably would sniff at a full score, this is an crystal clear tip for all thrash heads!

The Vinyl Edition!

Members:
David DiSanto (guitar/vocals),
Erik Nelson (guitar),
Blake Anderson (drums),
Frank Chin (bass)

Todays tune is "Destroying The Cosmos" taken from "Black Future", Enjoy!
