MS Stubnitz, Hamburg, Germany27th December 2018
Icon Of Coil - Tour 2018 - Support: Telemark
It is 27th December, so the first day after Christmas and what would you like to do the most? Right! Let’s go to a gig of electro pioneers ICON OF COIL in the fabulous location MS Stubnitz (a historical museum and event ship!) in the harbour of Hamburg. Though I just came back from an extended tour of another Norwegian band (SEIGMEN), it was my pleasure to finish my concert year with another Norwegian “classic”: ICON OF COIL, supported by the Swedish project TELEMARK (you can also see both main characters play in the same band - COMBICHRIST).

FZW, Dortmund, Germany20th December 2018
Fewjar - “Gamma Aftermath” Tour 2018 - Support: Miirtek & Marti Fischer
It was a rainy and cold day when FEWJAR played at the FZW in Dortmund. There was only one security guy to check the bags what led to longer waiting times, but an a-capella group straying into the queue made the musical debut in the evening. We were even greeted personally by the organizer. Great gesture!

CK A2, Wroclaw, Poland16th December 2018
Merry Christless 2018 with Behemoth, Batushka, Bölzer, Imperator, Untervoid
The Merry Christless tour concert in Wroclaw was sold out long before the concert date. The most awaited event, the accumulation of Metal power, five shades of the most powerful music that can be, five fantastic shows and the massive dose of talent. We were given all that during the incredible concert that stands for, as Nergal (the frontman of BEHEMOTH) called it - a new, secular tradition on the map of Poland. It was the second edition of Merry Christless and, as I could see with my own eyes that it was close to beat the last year’s one. Hopefully the tradition lasts also in the next years. There were five bands in the line-up: UNTERVOID, IMPERATOR, BÖLZER, BATUSHKA and BEHEMOTH.

After a break that lasted 34 years, Finnish band MUSTA PARAATI published a new album. The band changed the line-up quite often and split up several times, only Saku Paasiniemi and Panda Nikander remained in the band all these years. In 2015 the band announced, that they want to record new material and in interviews claimed that the intention was to publish new material with English lyrics for their fans abroad.

Volume Club, Kiev, Ukraine7th December 2018
Stoner & Doom Festival with Ritual Service, Mother Witch And Dead Water Ghosts, Goosla
The temperature inside Kiev’s Volume Club almost matched the icy chill on the streets outside, and the variety of looks, styles, eccentricities and peculiarities on offer in the audience matched the wonderful variety of musical outpourings from the stage. There was tea-drinking! There was vodka! There was a guy asleep in the corner! Another with a face full of angry tattoos munching merrily on crisps! There was denim - not seen any of that for a while… And there were three bands, who really seemed to give it their all, to a good natured and largely appreciative crowd of about a hundred.
