First of all, this is just my story about my evening and if you don't want to read it, just don't. And yes, I've been on a liveshow before even though it may seem like it's my first time in some sentences.

What a night... must be sicker than ever right now, the time is 1:03AM and I've just showered.
After a long times waiting I finally was on my way, alone but quite satisfied with the company of Finntroll that was streaming out of my earphones.
Woke up that morning knowing that this will be a tough day to get through because of the way I felt when i woke up, sick and tired as hell, also got to know that I started to breathe heavy when I forced myself just a little bit.
Anyhow, Got up in Stockholm and wandred around there for maybe an hour+eat food.
Then I headed off to Fryshuset, Arenan as it's called. Did not felt any better on my way there. Got there 3h before doors opening and stood there for those fuckin' 3h, but the award for it was to get quite much in front of the line, Line 3-4 to be more exactly.
After 80 minutes of waiting Entombed finally started their setlist, haven't really had time to listen to their music so much before the gig but I knew some parts of "Serpent Saints" and joined the others as well as I could =).
Entombed
A time later, they we're done and the backround music started once again and it really was in the air that it soon whould be time for the band everyone waited for.
The ambient music started and it was time, Twilight Of The Thundergod was first on the setlist and it could not have started better, after that I felt like my troat is not going to make this, but i forced to make the whole evening.
Amon Amarths Johan Hegg in focus
The setlist went on and I don't really have to say so much more about that, when "Where silent gods stay guard" was on, I felt like I'm not going to make this.. But ofcourse, after that "Live for the kill", the highlight of my whole evening was infront of me and somehow I've got an energy kick and just threw myself into the horde of people that have gathered infront of me and screamed damn my lungs out. Sick, dead or just get wounded? Did not matter at that time and I don't regret my choice.
It all ended with Pursuit Of Vikings and along with Live For The Kill was it the most enjoyable songs in the whole evening for my part.
Then it was all over and the rest of the journey is not too much to tell.
But, during Amon Amarth as well as Entombed, at the same time that I felt that I was going to giving up on my spot that I had, I also felt one of the best feelings that I can.
That no mather what, that the only thing that material way connected me to the majority in there was my shirt and necklace I still felt the strong belonging to the others in a way that you cannot do otherwise.
See you tomorrow.
