Sarcophagic | Only Death Is Real

På torsdag den 25 juni är det återigen dags för West Coast Riot, förra året var en helt ok uppvärmare inför Metaltown. 2008 var höjdpunkten för mig Bad Religion, årets line-up är dock intressantare med band som Social Distortion, SICK OF IT ALL, Suicidal Tendencies och Raised Fist.

It’s about two months until the Gothenburg metalfestival Metaltown starts, and so far the lineup is pretty weak. There are a few promising gigs like Opeth (played at the festival before), Meshuggah, Napalm Death and Municipal Waste. But thats about it.

One can understand that most of the money has gone to get big names like Slipknot and Marilyn Manson, but I really hope they can add more interesting names. A Swedish band like WOLF would be great (I know they are able/willing to come), or more unknown bands like Trident, In Solitude, Death Breath, Sonic Ritual, Necrophopic, Bastard Priest, Gravehammer, Agrimonia… hell the list could go on.

This evening it will be concert with Sonic Ritual, Sanctuary in Blasphemy and Gravehammer at Truckstop Alaska here in Gothenburg. I hope to hear great music and get my hands on some new vinyl and cool merch.

Great looking poster for the upcoming concerts with Sonic Ritual and Sanctuary In Blasphemy. Check out the bands at www.myspace.com/sonicritualofficial and www.myspace.com/sanctuaryinblasphemy.

Once again Entombed visits Gothenburg, on october 15 they are doing a gig at Sticky Fingers. I have seen them many times live and they have always delivered solid shows, hope to hear a couple of songs from Serpent Saints in addition to all the classics.
