It's about 5:12 AM in Sweden...

[Erik]

...and in less than one and a half hour I will be on the bus heading to Wacken. So cheers madafakas, , I'll make sure to drink a beer or seven for those of you who weren't able to make it and see you in about five days.

 

[JayKeeley]

Don't get too drunk! Don't raise your fist or Dio horns in the air too much! And wear your earplugs when Saxon are playing!

Hope you see lots of boobs. Motorhead always bring cool strippers along.

 

[JayKeeley]

It makes you a little bit naughty.

 

[NAD]

Don't get too drunk!

Don't listen to this man!

Have a wacky Wacken, or something.

 

[JayKeeley]

Fenriz is your best friend. A promo has been sent your way...

EDIT: And of course, here comes NAD with speedy typing.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Next year I am positively going. That should be an intereting way to celebrate my 18th birthday.

 

[Black Winter Day]

Drink a warm bottle of vodka for me.

 

[Erik]

It's about 7:51 AM in Sweden and I just came home from 3 days of festival and about 48 hours of bus travel. I just showered, which was nice.

Death Angel, Destruction, Nocturno Culto and Cathedral particularly ruled. Gayhem sucked and Anthrax is mallcore.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

What songs did N. Culto do with Satyricon?

 

[Tranquillian]

Kathaarian life code
Under a funeral moon
The hordes of Nebulah
Transilvanian hunger

Not necessarily in that order. Need I say that it was the highlight of the festival?

 

[Hell Mike]

achtung verboten unt die panzerfaust krieg toten dich sehr gut, jeg snakker norsk so en pakis.

 

[Tranquillian]

I went looking for the nasheim guys two times at the srm camp, but you werent there.

We were, but you looked too bad or something I suppose. If you heard raspy lemmy-soundalikes shouting BANG YOUR HEAD AGAINST THESTAGE AS YOU NEVER DID BEFORE AS IF UP FROM THE DEAD TILL YOUFALL TO THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!111one or I WANNA ROCK! (ROCK) That was us. If we didn't shout that we were sleeping in a ditch somewhere, but I might have to add that I can't remember wearing my Nasheim shirt at any occasion.

Too bad... You should have looked for a party tent with flashing christmas lights in it, we were close to that one.

 

[JayKeeley]

Any surprisly good acts? New bands worth checking out?

 

[Erik]

I saw pretty few bands actually. I even missed Amon Amarth. Other than the ones I listed above, Unleashed were highlights as well, with a cover of "EVIIIL... DEAD!" dedicated to Chuck and Quorthon. Another reason Destruction was cool, except that the setlist and playing RULED and Schmier fucking NAILED all the falsetto screams and stuff was that for the encore, Abbath of Immortal (without corpsepaint!!!) and Peter Tägtgren came up to co-perform the last song. That ruled. Satyricon playing WALK THE PATH OF FUCKING SORROW was a real highlight as well, atmospheric as fuck, but I could have done without all the Volcano and Rebel Extratrendy shit.

 

[Tranquillian]

I've got a funny story. A guy came up to me at our tent and asked me if I knew Erik from the band on my shirt. I had just put on my Watain shirt and forgot I wasn't wearing my Nasheim shirt anymore so I said sure and tried to explain where he could find Erik. Then I realized it was the guy from Watain he was after..hehe, not the Nasheimguy. Turned out to be Richard, the singer of Grand Belials Key, and we hung out for an hour after that talking about him hating jews, hehe.

So how did this Wacken compare with the last?

Did you see any of the headliners this year? It was Dio, Motorhead, Saxon, and Anthrax right? I bet Dio was well received. And maybe Helloween. These Germans love their cheesy old school stuff.
