Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats - I'll Cut You Down

 

Yesterday, was the Hard Rock Society's annual meeting, for the fifth year in a row at the Twelfth Night. A really wonderful event where 12 music geeks drinking beer and playing music, talking music and dreaming music. Alot of music will be played under a event like this, eight categories are examined, with each disc incisions around 40 minutes times 12:) Holy moses, but hell this is fun.

Here is my choices under each category that I stood for during this evening.

1. Band, That I Missed Live: Thin Lizzy - Are You Ready
One of the bands that I really wanted to see live when I was younger, but unfortunately never got the chance and now it's too late.

2. Bang Your Head: Motörhead - Overkill
This is a category that it really is plenty to choose from, but this is a song that I could never stand still when it is played.

3. Worst Production: Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - I'll Cut You Down
There are also plenty of bands who are suffering from a bad production but still got something so you can listen to it. This band I have selected seems to have tried a little too much to get to the old classic garage sound, so the sound is a bit too messy, but the song is great.

4. Best Ballad: Great White - Since I've Been Loving You
Ballad, hmm... In this case, quite simply, do not want to play "Wind Of Change" exactly, but choose a really great classics from the world's top band "Led Zeppelin", to spice it up a bit, I picked a really good cover of this performed by Great White .

5. Best Song Title: Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
Right troublesome category, wanted something clever and good, so it had simply become a Ministry

6. Music For A Darkened Room: Opeth - Coil
A category that can be interpreted in many ways, my interpretation was a bit romantic, candlelight, a bottle of fine wine and a partner to share this with.

7. Honor The Dead: Patti Smith - Smells Like Teen Spirit
One category that you can celebrate their heroes one of, have already paid tribute to John Bonham in the ballad, so I could not take one more Led Zeppelin song, Dio is guaranteed to be choosed by someone else so this becomes too obvious. In the end, I looked at the classic twenty-seven year old deaths and found Kurt Cobain and his Nirvana, a song that does not directly have been a favorite, but when I heard Patti Smith's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit, I got sold, flowersinyourhead as good it is.

8. Best Right Now: Vektor - Cosmic Cortex
An obvious choice right now, an album has been played dozens of times and recommended warmly.

Opeth - Folklore

The year's biggest question mark, with several turns on the recordplayer have the album finally started to sink in. A progressive story that Mr. Åkerfeldt wants to share with listeners, it is a calm and sensible, beautiful and historical album.

A record that really required a lot of playing time, before I understood what they wanted to convey.

Todays tune "Folklore" is a beautiful thing, sit back and enjoy.

We are damn sorry about it but, we both have so much thingies to do so we cant make it.

Opeth is a Swedish progressive rock group that released a album this year that isnt as it use to be....he is not growling, its a pretty sorta slow progressive rock album, it got a lot of both good/bad critics, meanwhile a lot of the hard core fans dont like it. Stones likes it a lot, I like it also, but do like the harder stuff more :D



Anyway, the tune I´m gonna play for ya all today I DO LIKE A LOT!!
It reminds me of tunes in my youth or even yearlier...his voice..hm..donno, Doors No more like Jethro Tulls singer Ian Anderson.. Well I do like this.

Opeth - The Devil's Orchard

The progressive metal band Opeth is releasing a new album on the 15 of September.

Named "Heritage", I found a sound track on it that I wanted to play for u all.

It is a really mystified tune with a real progressive sound in it, love it.







Heritage will signal a departure for Opeth from the musical style of their past albums. Originally, the first two songs Mikael Åkerfeldt wrote for the album were in the style of Watershed, but he scrapped them soon after. After writing "The Lines in My Hands" and speaking with Martin Mendez, Åkerfeldt decided to write the rest of the album in that style.



Heritage will feature no death growls, which have been present on every Opeth album except Damnation. Unlike Damnation, however, the music will have a prominent fusion influence. The album's title track is influenced by Jan Johansson and Swedish folk music.







Åkerfeldt said in the album's press release:

“It will be our 10th album/observation. I dig it; we all do. In fact, it feels like I've been building up to write for and participate on an album like this since I was 19. It's quite intense at times in some 'old' murky way, and quite beautiful and stark at times, if I may say so myself. It's obvious I'm going to say nice things about it since I wrote, basically, the whole piece, but I guess it will raise a few eyebrows and it certainly is an acquired taste. I think you'll need a slightly deeper understanding of our music as a whole to be able to appreciate this record. I've realized my influences for this album are so diverse that I can't really say what it sounds like. If I can compare it to any other band, it would have to be Opeth, but it's different from the stuff we've done before. I've listened a lot to Alice Cooper for the last year, yet I can't say it sounds like No More Mr. Nice Guy. I hope you'll like it once you hear it."







The current members are:

Mikael Åkerfeldt on lead vocals, guitars

Martin Mendez on bass guitar

Martin "Axe" Axenrot on drums, percussion

Fredrik Åkesson on guitars, backing vocals



Lets hear it,



Peace, Thetania

Ghost - Here Comes The Sun

Ghost is a Swedish heavy metal band formed 2008. The band was hyped up in 2010 partly because of members' choice to appear behind the masks without giving their identities. The group claims to be sent by the devil to the commercially viable rock collecting souls for him. The debut "Opus Eponymous" was nominated for a Grammy in 2011 in the category hard rock.

Ghost is booked for the Getaway Rock Festival, Sweden Rock, Metal Town, and Roskilde festival in summer 2011.

Rumors claim that the members should be established persons in Stockholm death/black metal scene, who they are we leave unsaid. :)

On Friday the 13th it was time for me and my friend to witness "Ghost" Live when they did visit the Strand here in Stockholm together with In Solitude and Stench.

Devil himself must have had a finger or two when Ghost was created, with their down-smoked legacy of seventies Black Sabbath and classic doom metal.

They messes for their new initiates fans, like a pope in the church and that this is a dark well-played manifesto for an hour is no doubt. They played the new album and included the bonus tune from the latest record, the Beatles’ cover "Here Comes The Sun" and ends with the entire body of Christ.

Both me and my friend are happy with Ghost’s effort at the Strand and we are trying to get out from the explosive-filled concert hall with a smile placed higher than usual. We run into some known faces like Leif Edling (Candlemass) and David Isberg (Opeth), we are told the guys in the Ghost has been living in the rehearsal studio for three weeks before this gig, that this would become such a good gig as possible.

Here is some pictures from the gig!

Todays tune ”Here Comes The Sun” (Beatles cover) is the Bonus track from the album ”Opus Eponymous”



Live at the Strand, May 13, 2011
