Yes indeed, the show was brilliant and therefore it surely deserves a few more words, so here we go:
The support band was Enter the Hunt. They hardly ever play live, that alone was already worth travelling all the way to Stockholm. The sound could have been better but nonetheless it was great to see and hear them, especially the beautiful and charismatic singer. Which is Krister Linder, in case anyone didn't know.
Next up was the LFDGD- set which I suppose all true Kata- fans have already seen at one of the anniversary- shows, so I don't need to tell you how good it was
A little break and then the best of- set. It was something like this (order is probably wrong though) : Forsaker, Liberation, Longest year, Wait outside, My twin, I break, Evidence, Ghost of the sun, July, For my demons, Day and then the shade, did I forget anything?
And then came all the extra special guests, one after another:
Mattias played Leaders, so nice to see him on stage again! Guillaume (looking like a cool and dark rockstar) played Without god (vocals by Anders) and I was insanely happy to finally hear this song live again! Fred's choice was the good old Murder (with Anders again). Then Mr. Mysterious- Frank Default- appeared, joined by only Jonas and Niklas. And they played something I did not expect at all- Unfurl!!! Goosebumps... Meanwhile, I had somehow managed to get to the frontrow (thanks to some people who were stupid enough to leave before the climax), so Krister stood right in front of me, singing Departer. It couldn't have been any better! I can't really express how happy and privileged I felt. So beautiful and magical...
After the show, I was hanging out with Hobo and some other lovely people. It was awesome to meet the Norrman- Sweethearts again. And later on, we even got to talk to Krister (thank you Hobo for encouraging shy me
). What a friendly and warm- hearted guy! I even got A HUG from him
A wonderful night indeed! Biggest thanks to Katatonia, all the special guests and everyone who shared the magic with me. My condolences to those who would have loved to be there but couldn't.
Indulging in sweetest memories while eagerly awaiting the new album...
