And here is me booking plane tickets to fly in from good ole Germany for the Circus gig... :rofl:

Okay, tough one, but I I think I can narrow it down to (in no particular order): 1.) The Smoke (Eclipse) 2.) The Wanderer (Circle) 3.) Leaves Scar (Eclipse) 4.) Towards and Against (Silent Water) 5.) Silver Bride (Skyforger) 6.) You I Need (Beginning of Times) 7.) Winter's Sleep (UTRC) 8.)...

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you all made it safe and sound into 2017. For me, personally, 2016 was a really great year and I started the new year in Helsinki at the Amorphis gig at Virgin Oil. Must've been the best NYE in a decade or so. If that ain't a good omen...

Heavens those guys are so much fun...

Did anyone catch the little gig at The Riff in Helsinki?

I know, nothing from the usual suspects, but... * Katatonia - "The Fall of Hearts" * The 69 Eyes - "Universal Monsters" * Steve'n'Seagulls - "Brothers In Farms"

Katatonia's "The Fall of Hearts" is definitly my album of the year. It's beyond beautiful. I was very impressed by their unplugged tour in 2014. In Berlin they played in a church, goosebump atmosphere. When they played "Unfurl" I was literally reduced to tears. The concert this October wasn't...

Sounds good! :)

Damn... I just realized though I ruined myself at the Amo merch in April I didn't buy any tshirts. o.O

Yeah, elbows pretty much suck as canvas... :yell:

I will be off to Helsinki on saturday. Nine days of sweet vacation and we granted ourselves tickets for THE 69 EYES on Sept 16th @ Virgin Oil, Helsinki. Really looking forward to see the Helsinki Vampires again. They made a lasting impression in April. Hottest drummer ever. :p

Sadly, I couldn't be there, but I am still so grateful for that livestream via YouTube... I liked both sets. Highlight for me definitly was "Tree of Ages", great song. Downer for me was Anneke van Giershagen. To be frank, I never heard of her before. I am sure she is good on her own, but those...

Speaking of which... I finally bught the new Katatonia album "The Fall of Hearts"... Album of the year. I am so in love with it. Can't wait to see them in October.

Yeah, there's that evil circle of forum doom. You discover a forum, you start posting, you check back every other week until you notice eventually it's dead, you retreat to hitting like buttons at FB, Twitter, IG until you stumble over another forum, etc...

Actually I'm back to listening to a lot of radio lately. Namely Rock Klassiker Stockholm and Radio Rock Helsinki. Two of my fav drummers, Ian Haugland of Europe and Jussi 69 of The 69 Eyes are working as radio DJs for them and though I understand neither Swedish nor Finnish, those guys are a lot...
