Opeth - Winner of the Swedish Radio Awards

[bicetea]

Congratulations Opeth!
Opeth has just won the Swedish Radio P3 Awards for best Rock / Metal!

The nominees where:

Hammerfall - Crimson Thunder
Hellacopters - By The Grace Of God
In Flames - Reroute To Remain
Opeth - Deliverance
Totalt Jävla Mörker - Det Ofrivilliga Lidandets Maskineri

The motivation, freely translated from swedish.

"We didnt know that a bag filled with old sell off vinyls could result in infernal, intelligent metal.
Deliverance is pitch black, implacable and inaccessible but on the same time beautiful, tempting and progressive.
Simply a silver shimmering masterpiece for those who like elegant and brutally magnificent metal. "

And in swedish:

Juryns motivering:

"Inte visste vi att konsumkassar fyllda med gammal rea-vinyl kan leda till infernaliskt intelligent metal från helvetets egen CD- press. Deliverance är becksvart, obönhörlig och otillgänglig men samtidigt vacker, lockande och framåtskridande. Kort sagt: ett silverskimrande musikaliskt höst- stilleben för den som tycker om det tungt eleganta och brutalt storslagna."


Congratulations once again, Opeth!

Fucking A....I wish the grammys over here in the US were that cool...

 

[redblueyes]

Thank you so much for posting this EXCELLENT news!!

Of course they deserve this honor! (and the grammy too!!)

 

[Jeremy]

Even for Best Metal?

Anyways... I think The Hellacopters should have won this award.

Nice, congrats to Opeth

 

[bicetea]

Its not a grammy award, however, Opeth has been nominated for that award too!

The nominees for the Swedish grammy is:

In Flames - Reroute To Remain, Opeth - Deliverance, Pathos - Katharsis, The Hellacopters - By The Grace Of God and Mustach - Above All.

The grammy awards will take place on 18th February

At least it's not as bad as the US. Avril Lavigne is up for five (five) Grammys this year. I hope she wins best female pop performance. That would piss her off.

 

[Nefilim]

I hope she gets hit by a car and becomes horribly mutilated. That would piss her off.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Don't wish harm on Avril. Wish harm on the music corporations who created her and marketed her.

Great description, but what is with that "sold off vinyl" comment?

 

[KIRILL]

Wow ... this was a great surprise ...
Don´t think the chances are that big for them to take a "Grammis" tho ...

LOL... so true. There is like pop rock awads but bands like silver chair get it.

What I think they mean by that is that they got their inspiration from bands they bought albums with on cheap vinyl.

No one in Sweden cares about the Grammy Awards anyway. I think Opeth is more happy with this radio award than if they would win a Grammy.

Agreed. Mikael's comments in Close-Up on last year's Grammy Awards weren't anywhere near positive.

Inte den lättaste texten att översätta, du kanske vill göra ett försök själv?
