"Swedish Depressive Black Metallers VANHELGA have explained the concept behind their upcoming tour in their home country later this month which they will undertake along with KALL and HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY. It is, says founder and bassist J Ottoson, a rather unique event in which we use music to portray the grey, and on occasion, somewhat miserable everyday existence of the average Swede. Having said that, we can assure the fans that the shows themselves will be far from being grey experiences, but we have always found it interesting that other nationalities believe that the Swedish people are gloomier and more reclusive than others, and we thought that it would be interesting to explore this phenomenon further in front of Swedish audiences. We have called the tour Svensk Uppgivenhet, which is a classic phrase meaning Swedish Melancholy, or as some prefer to call it Swedish Resignation.
More information about the individual tour dates can be found in the Events section of VANHELGAs Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/officialvanhelga Routing for the Svensk Uppgivenhet tour as follows:
19 May: Göta Källare, Stockholm (with local supports)
21 May: Club Medusa, Stockholm
22 May: LOrient, Linköping
23 May: Göta Hof, Gothenburg
24 May: Kulturhuset, Norrköping"
Be there!
