Jimi Hendrix - Red House

2012-01-29T15:08:00.003+01:00

In the middle of the move, we throw out a Sunday Classics.

"Red House" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and originally recorded by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1966. The song, a slow twelve-bar blues, "is one of the most traditional in sound and form of all his official recordings". It was developed during his pre-Experience days while Hendrix was performing in Greenwich Village and was inspired by earlier blues songs. Hendrix recorded several studio and live versions during his career; later, "Red House" has been recorded by a variety of blues and other artists.

Plektrum Art

The theme of "Red House" is "as old as the blues itself—the singer's woman doesn't love him any more and has moved". According to Noel Redding, Hendrix told him "the song was written about his old high school girlfriend Betty Jean Morgan", although her house was reportedly brown. It has been suggested that Linda Keith's (who brought Hendrix to the attention of Chas Chandler) friend's New York apartment with "the red velvet walls and decor influenced Jimi's writing". However, for Billy Cox "As far as I know, 'Red House' didn't have any significance in reference to a particular person, place or thing. It was just a blues number that Jimi put together".

Led Zeppelin - Travelling Riverside Blues

2012-01-28T14:30:00.040+01:00

This weekend moves Tune Of The Day for a new residents, so we will not do anything advanced in music way during this time, we hope that you guys have a full understanding about this, we will be back in full force at some point next week, during the time you get short posts with "a move" theme!

"Travelling Riverside Blues," sometimes called "Mudbone" or "Mud Bone," is a blues song written and recorded in Dallas, Texas by the bluesman Robert Johnson. Johnson's June 20, 1937.

The song is well known for the lyrics:

"I want you to squeeze my lemon
until the juice runs down my leg."

English rock band Led Zeppelin's version of this song was recorded at the BBC studios in Aeolian Hall on June 24, 1969. Jimmy Page dubbed extra guitar tracks onto the track (the main track being played on a 12-string electric guitar, possibly the same one used on the track "Thank You").

It is quite different from the original, and it is more a tribute to Robert Johnson than a straight cover.

"Travelling Riverside Blues" can be found on the Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions album, and on the expanded Coda album from The Complete Studio Recordings box set. A promotional video clip was also released in 1990, with outtake footage from the band's 1976 concert film, The Song Remains the Same inter-spliced with other footage from the band's archive. The clip also features a railroad montage, and underwater shots of the Mississippi River.

Nachtmystium - Nightfall

2012-01-27T18:16:00.002+01:00

Today I got a bit inspired to listen to a "Skull", what skull, you say, yes it is so that there is a blog, where an amazing artist "Slusk" who paints a "skull" of the week, and this week he has been extra good and painted three skulls.

The first skull is one of the band "Death In June" uses.

The second is from Agoraphobic Nosebleeds EP "A Clockwork Sodom."

The third skull is from Nachtmysiums Assassins: Black Meddle, Part 1, which also is a band that we pick today's tune.

Nachtmystium is an American psychedelic black metal band formed by Blake Judd, formerly known as Azentrius, and Pat McCormick. The band's name is derived from the German word Nacht meaning "night", and the made-up term mystium which resembles the Latin adjective mysticum. Judd and McCormick combined the words to create the band's name, which they state means "Encompassing Darkness."

Todays tune "Nightfall" is taken from the fifth full-length album "Addicts: Black Meddle, Pt. II" It was released on June 8, 2010.

Todays clip is Live in Englewood, CO - Feb. 18th, 2011

A little story:

At the Georgia Scion Rock Fest on Saturday February 28, 2009, Nachtmystium was forced to cancel at the request of the festival's promoters, and sponsors, Toyota, on Tuesday February 23, 2008 due to an unnamed source, who believed the group was a "Nazi" band. Judd promptly released a statement after the incident, stating, "We will be taking legal action against the people who slandered us in this situation, and in the future will file defamation / slander charges against any person or organization who attempts to prevent us from performing anywhere, especially in the United States. So - let it be known loud and clear for the LAST TIME, we ARE NOT a Nazi band, ARE NOT political, are certainly NOT racists and DO NOT support that world or any band, person or business affiliated with it." He also apologized to Nachtmystium fans who traveled to the concert to support the band.

Dag Vag - Samma Sak

2012-01-26T17:04:00.000+01:00

Today we show some respect to the Stig Vig who unfortunately has left us. Per Odeltorp or Stig Vig, born 19 November 1948 in Boden, died January 23, 2012, was a Swedish musician, singer and composer known as the frontman and bass player in trans-continental rock reggae band Dag Vag. As Stig Vig he mixed Ska and Reggae to Blues, punk, Prog and Popular movement with a pinch of Swedish cultural heritage as Elsa Beskow, Dan Andersson, Evert Taube and Thore Skogman.

The band was formed in 1977 under the name of Dag Vag & Svagsinta. The style of music was as punk as you could notice on their first two songs "Dimma" and "När vården slår till". The band with Stig Vig as the front leader, later shortened the name to Dag Vag and the music was now a mixture of different musical styles. The actual members would categorize their music as "Trans Continental Rock Reggae". Their first single under the name of Dag Vag contained the group's first hit, a reggae cover of Anita Lindblom's song "Sånt är livet".

This was followed by a number of albums of different character on the label Silence, often with world music at some of the tracks. A recording that became popular in wider circles was a cover of Thore Skogman and Lill-Babs duet Pop up the top from 1965. Dag Vag appeared with Gyllene Tider in the SVT´s Måndagsbörsen 1981 .The two bands closed the television program with Popitop, when Thore Skogman appeared as a surprise and sang with in the last verse.

1983 split Dag Vag, and Stig Vig and Zilverzurfarn started when the band Ojj!600 with guitarist Anders Åborg from Aston Reymers Rivaler and drummer Per Erik Gunnarsson Stenroth. Dag Vag resurfaced again at the end of the decade with the song You Will Never Enough. In 1999 came the next resurrection and the latest in 2004.

During their career, Dag Vag sold over 300,000 albums, won a Rockbjörnen, with a few gold records, danced naked on the roof, appeared in the movie Ebba Grön-movie "Ebba the Movie" and become Sweden's most famous rock reggae band.

In 2008 was their first five albums re-released as digipak with bonus tracks.

In 2011 did Dag Vag released their first EP epette. Then the band consisted of Stig Vig on vocals and bass; Tage Z Dirty on drums and vocals; Zilverzurfarn on guitar and vocals, and Teka Pukka on guitar and vocals. Rest in peace Stig Vig!

Dag Vag Members
Per Odeltorp ("Stig Vig") - Bass, Vocals.
Lennart Odeltorp ("Tage Dirty) - Drums.
Per Westling ("Teka Pukk") - Guitar.
Johan Zachrisson ("Zilverzurfarn") - Guitar, Vocal.

Todays tune "Samma Sak" is a tune that Dag Vag did perform as the band "Zeg Deg" in the animated short film "HELVETE OCKSÅ" (1980) av Lennart Gustafsson. The tune is from the 3:rd album "Palsternacka" released 1980.

The Dolly Rocker Movement - The Only One

2012-01-25T19:38:00.000+01:00

The other day I ran into a band with the right peculiar band name "The Dolly Rocker Movement", the band is based in Sydney, Australia. Formed in 2002 by singer and guitarist Daniel Poulter, the Australian line-up includes Poulter, Ricky Drabsch (bass), Martin Walters (keyboards) and Christopher Rudge (drums). "The Dolly Rocker Movement" is a rock band with a T-Rex inspired neo-psychedelic pop touch spiced with true influence of late 60's garage/psychedelia, freakbeat & west coast folk. Kinda cool, must i say. The group has released three full-length albums through independent Australian record label Off the Hip.

The group has played with such acts as The Black Keys, The Lime Spiders, The Stems and The Lovetones. The band has had material showcased outside of Australia on various releases, including Northern Star Records’ three Psychedelica compilations, and the Greek Peace Frog and Lost in Tyme zines. In 2009 Denmark-based label Bad Afro announced it would release their third album, Our Days Mind the Tyme, in all non-Australian territories. That's the album were we are going to pick todays tune from.

In late 2009, Poulter travelled to Los Angeles to start demo recording new solo and band material with producer Rob Campanella. There, the band was reformed to include Poulter, Jimmy Sweet (formerly bassist of Hot Hot Heat), Emily Stoia (keyboards), and T.J. McDonnell (drums).

As of 2012, the band has announced its intention to record new material in Australia.

And yes, you can find this beauty printed on Vinyl!

Todays tune "The Only One" is taken from "Our Days Mind the Tyme" Release in 2009.

Jeremy Irons & The Ratgang Malibus - Skin Deep

2012-01-23T17:08:00.000+01:00

A few days ago, a friend and I was looking into a performance by Jeremy Irons & The Ratgang Malibus, here in Stockholm at Scandic Grand Central. A band that was a bit more stripped down than usual and played with a slightly calmer tempo than what they normally do. But must say I was heavily surprised that it could sound so amazingly good, incredibly talented musicians and the singer has a pipe that you really get goose skin of, shit pommes!

Now I want to see and hear them run a full electric set!

Here is some picture from the gig!

Todays tune "Skin Deep" is taken from the album "Bloom".

Cross - Human Resolution

2012-01-21T22:15:00.000+01:00

Today I was at gallery that 2 of my dearest friends had, at Gallery Kocks.
Tomas Johansson and Sofia Lundberg, Tomas is a marvelous painter and Sofia takes wonderful photos. Here they are :D

Tomas Johansson, painter and also the bas player in Lizette & (as we showed u a couple of days ago)

Sofia Lundberg, Photographer.

On this Gallery I met another exiting man, Hansi Cross.
He is a musician, and producer of music, Ive come across him many times (we are even FB friends) over the years. We have many common friends, but never spoke for real, until today. He is a very nice and intresting person, full of caring and love.

He and his band plays Symphonic progressive rock, and they are really good!!
And now on February 3rd they are releasing an album "Wake Up Call".

In November 2009, Hansi did an interview for Background Magazine and on the question: How do you see yourself: as a singer/guitarist, a keyboardist
or a composer and producer?

He said:

“I see myself as a composer and a singing guitarist. I’m not a brilliant keyboardist, but I tend to find it more inspiring to compose our music on keyboards rather than guitar. This creates some interesting situations. For instance, if I compose a riff for guitar and bass on keyboards it sounds great and not too difficult, but by the time, we have to play it on guitar it sometimes turns out to be quite a challenge. What is easy to play on keyboards is not always easy on guitar.

I believe this way of working adds a Cross-approach to our music. Riffs and bass lines often have a sort of uniqueness, because they have been written on different instruments. I like most of the parts of that creative process, in different ways, but I think the composing part is the most important to me. Of course, I highly enjoy performing, playing guitar and singing as well. I wouldn’t want to focus entirely on composing.”

The guys behind this album is:
Hansi Cross - guitars, keyboards, lead & harmony vox, percussion
Lollo Andersson - basses, taurus
Tomas Hjort - drums, percussion
with:
Jock Millgardh - lead and harmony vox
Mats Bender - keyboards
Hannah Sundkvist - electric violin
Stefan Damicolas - harmony vox
Sabina Cross - additional violin
Lizette von Panajott - processed female vox

Lizette & - Reduced

2012-01-18T23:39:00.000+01:00

Our Favvo band is going to release an album in February and today they released their second single, called "Reduced" with a sorta anxious message. DAAAMN its goood :D

I called Lizette up as she is a friend of mine, to share some with ya all.

Lizette Von Panajott interview

TOTD: Heeeey Lizette, This was a quite dark kinda video, I havent listen to the lyrics yet but what is it all about? I mean u are the most positive, happy person I know.

Lizette: Its about how u begin to lie and then lie a bit more and soon ure shut in a corner feel totally shitty and then sooner or later it all fucks up, and the only thing u did was lie. And that was a bit stupid u know, just that one can consider to be more honest. I really put down a thought behind the lyrics I write, think its important.

Lizette: I want to have a dialogue with people, to get their viewpoint on the matter and mayby they can think more about life and its turns.

TOTD: So when is this album coming, we are eager here!

Lizette: Talks with the manager and says, on the 22 of February.

TOTD: Ure last album was a bit softer than this album, what Ive heard its more tough and heavier. So how is the rest of “Just Smile”?

Lizette: This is a very straight forward/In ure face kinda album and harder than “This is”. Although the tune “Just Smile” is a ballad , but overall its a much harder album. I have very much variaty on the albums, I like that. This album is so damn good, and Im just soo damn proud of it. Then she laugh.

TOTD: Who writes the tunes?

Lizette: I am, then I present it to the guys and then they play it and sometimes they have some inputs on it sometimes not, if I like it , it’s a go.
If it interfer to much with my original thought, I ditch it (laughs)

TOTD: Did u write all the tunes on this album?

Lizette: All of em, except 2, “Have A Cigar” I wrote that with Dan Reed (from Dan Reed Project) and the cover “Head Like A Hole” Nine Inch Nails wrote that. I really like NIN.

TOTD: 2 (The guitarrist, “Ink” and guitar and keyboardist Markus) guys are new since “This Is” album, tell me about them.

Lizette: They stepped into these big shoes and are doing an awesome job. The thing is that we have so damn fun together!

TOTD: Okey Lizette, thank you for this! Anything u care to say to our readers?

Lizette: Yea, the "Reduced" single is on Itunes, buy it ! Looove you!!!!
And then we ended off ☺

This is the link to Itunes and their new single "Reduced"

Mastodon - Iron Tusk

2012-01-16T22:55:00.001+01:00

Last Saturday got Stockholm a a visit from Mastodon, this time as headliner artist and not as support act or festival gig where playing time is often too short. Last time Mastodon visited Sweden were last summer during the Sonisphere Festival here in Stockholm. Red Fang did travel with Mastodon as support, but more on them tomorrow.

This day they arrived well rested, happy and eager, which was heard during sound check as riff from bands like Metallica were played. Brent Hinds guitar tech had to jump in during the soundcheck as Brent chose to check the ice hockey game instead. But when he showed up he was in a really mischievous mood and dressed to his skelleton costume and danced around and it turned out that the suit also had a REAL poo hatch in the back!

The gig was clearly above expectations, good and simple lighting, the sound was really good to be Annexet which usually tend to get quite muddy. You could hear pretty much everything! what a delight it was, and damn what a monster set list! See below.

Here is some pictures!

Nice drums, a tribute to Randy Rhoads

Todays tune "Iron Tusk" is taken from the shows set list and the concept album Leviathan, released in 2004. The album is loosely based on the Herman Melville novel Moby-Dick, and the songs "Iron Tusk", "Blood and Thunder", "I Am Ahab" and "Seabeast" were released as singles.

Sunday Classic time!!

Stones and me are moving to a new place :D Its a lot of shit that have to happen b4.... aaaahhh packing, its not my favorite thingie to do. For example, Stones...he is a vinyl bitch, why cant the man just buy cd´s, It takes so many damn boxes for those big vinyl shitties :P Ah well, while we were packing I found a nice cd by Peter Gabriel. So I liked to share it with u all.

Peter.. He is a genius!!! I admire this man a lot. He
I remember a film that I saw, about how he made his music. He went around everywere recording diffrent sounds that he could use to put in his keyboard and use as a sound on it..totally brilliant. The product was amazing.
Did u guys know that in 1970, he played the flute on Cat Stevens' album, Mona Bone Jakon.

Peter did an album last year, "New Blood" and that is the ninth studio album, released on 10 October 2011. The album consists of orchestral re-recordings of various tracks from throughout his career.

Ladys and Gents, This is Peter Gabriel!

Love, Thetania

Midnight - Satanic Royalty

2012-01-14T16:02:00.000+01:00

Ohio's Midnight, for those who don’t know, play old school beer soaked, blackened heavy metal. Equal parts classic Bathory and Judas Priest with a massive dose of punk energy, their latest release, Satanic Royalty, is a whirlwind of NWOBHM inspired, heshed out metal, Satanic Royalty is a blast of sulfurous air in a genre so often taking itself too seriously.

It’s released on CD, vinyl and even tape so that’s another confirmation for its old-school smell.

Todays tune "Satanic Royalty" is the title track for the latest release with Midnight. A noisy intro consisting of backwards vocals, organs, distortion gives way to a fist pumping guitar lead.

Skraeckoedlan - Äppelträdet

2012-01-11T17:29:00.001+01:00

Skraeckoedlan is a fuzzrock quartet from Norrköping, Sweden. They formed in the early spring of 2009 with the ambition to play groovy rock'n'roll with a touch of doom.

Their debut album; a ten track album called "Äppelträdet" (The Apple Tree) was released in 2011 on the Swedish record label Transubstans Records.

This is a straight stoner rock spiced with classic hard rock riffs. As a new stung lizard, growling guitars takes this record forward towards the apple tree. With a straightforward vocals on Swedish that ties it all together in a brilliant way. That you will think of Truckfighters when you hear this is not surprising given that the producer is none other Oskar Cedermalm from Truckfighters.

A really good debut, I must say, an album that I have nothing more than to recommend to all Stoner freaks out there.

Äppelträdet album is out on Transubstans, or Vinyl at Gaphals

Van Halen - Tattoo

2012-01-10T15:28:00.028+01:00

Van Halen‘s new single "Tattoo" has arrived, and it’s a mix of new and old styles that’s certainly will be a "talk about" among fans and how the upcoming album "A Different Kind of Truth" will sound like. The new tune has a bit of a modern touch but a bit laidback, more pop-rock than hard-rock, have listened to it a few times and have some mixed feelings sofar.

A Different Kind of Truth is the upcoming 12th studio album from American hard rock band veterans Van Halen, it will be releasead on February 7, 2012. It is the band's first album of new material since 1998's Van Halen III, as well as their first album since 1984's "1984" to feature David Lee Roth on lead vocals and the first album to feature Wolfgang Van Halen on bass guitar. It will also be Van Halen's first album on their new label Interscope Records.

The song "She's the Woman" was re-recorded from a 1976 Zero demo. The new version of this song was played in its entirety at the band's intimate press show at the Cafe Wha? on January 5, 2012.

A deluxe version of the album will be released, containing a bonus Acoustic DVD called The Downtown Sessions, which will contain acoustic versions of popular Van Halen songs such as "Panama", "You and Your Blues", "Beautiful Girls", and "You Really Got Me".

Todays tune and the first single of the album, "Tattoo", was released online on January 10, 2012.

Music video by Van Halen performing Tattoo.

A little story off the record.

---------------------------------------

Van Halen had a notable effect on the modern rock music tour with their use of the concert technical contract rider. They were one of the first bands to use contract riders to specify a "wish list", a practice now used throughout the music industry. They pioneered extensive requirements including power availability and stage construction details. The band's demands were not limited to technical issues; their now-infamous rider specified that a bowl of M&M's, with all of the brown M&M's removed, was to be placed in their dressing room. According to David Lee Roth, this was listed in the technical portion of the contract not because the band wanted to make capricious demands of the venue, but rather as a test of whether the venue had actually read and honored the terms of the contract, as it contained other requirements involving legitimate safety concerns.

On earlier tours, inadequate compliance by local organizers to the safety requirements of the rider had placed members of Van Halen's road crew in danger which was occasionally life-threatening. Because of these incidents, the band developed the M&M's demand as a means of checking whether the venue was properly honoring the terms of the contract to their satisfaction. Subsequently, if the bowl was missing, or if there were brown M&M's present, they had reason to suspect that the venue might not have honored legitimate technical and safety concerns within the contract. As a result, the band would be within their rights to inspect the technical side of the performance prior to going on stage, and/or request the venue redo their work properly.

Tony Iommi & Phil Anselmo - Time is Mine

2012-01-09T19:45:00.001+01:00

Today at Tune Of The Day we want to give Tony Iommi all the Power and Love there is, so he can beat his sickness.

Tony, Fight back! Dont it let u down for a second! We are many out there who believe U will make it!! Lotsa Lotsa Love and Positive Vibes towards U <3 <3

The band says that the tour with Black Sabbath is still in progress!!
I am gonna see em!

For you that dont know what im writing here:
Tony is to undergo treatment for cancer after being diagnosed with lymphoma.
A statement released on behalf of the band said: "Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan - the Iron Man of rock & roll remains upbeat and determined to make a full and successful recovery."

This man have ment a lot for me so Im sending him a lot of pure power!

Ive choosen a tune from Tony´s solo album, called "Iommi" from 2000, the album took nearly 5 years to make. All of the songs were written by Iommi, producer Bob Marlette and the respective vocalists of each track (except "Black Oblivion", which was written by only Iommi and Billy Corgan).

According to Tony Iommi, he and Phil Anselmo had recorded three tracks together for the album, but only one was put onto the album.

This is his homesite.

Ladys and Gents, This is Tony Iommi and Phil Anselmo. (just sound)

Love, Thetania

Black Sabbath - Children Of The Grave

2012-01-08T22:16:00.000+01:00

Sunday and Classic time!
I choosen the group that hooked me on Hard/Heavy Rock/Metal.

"Children of the Grave" is a tune by Black Sabbath from their 1971 album Master of Reality.

For the recording of this album, guitarist Tony Iommi, who had injured his fingers in a factory accident years earlier, decided to downtune his guitar down three semi-tones (or one and a half steps to C-sharp). This reduced string tension, thus making the guitar easier for him to play. Geezer Butler also downtuned his bass guitar to match Iommi.

Now they have reunion and here are the tour dates.

Alcest - Autre Temps

2012-01-07T18:58:00.000+01:00

Alcest is a musical project born in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France. It began in 2000 with three members – Neige, Aegnor and Argoth. This band released a demo of black metal songs in 2001. Shortly after, Aegnor and Argoth left the band, leaving Neige as the sole member. This marked a change in style, as Alcest's subsequent releases have more often been described as shoegazing.

As a child, Neige had experiences of being in contact with a "far off country", which he generically refers to as "Fairy Land". Alcest serves as the musical adaptation of the memories from this fantasy world. Neige intends for Alcest to be a journey for the listener to this world through his memories. This change in concept was first introduced on Le Secret. Souvenirs d'un autre monde will serve as a literal summation of the concept behind the band.

Neige - bass, vocals, guitar, synth
Winterhalter - drums
Fursy Teyssier - artwork

Todays tune "Autre Temps" is the first single of the new and third studio album "Les Voyages de l'Âme" (English: The Journeys of the Soul), released on January 6, 2012. Check this video and dream away on this tune, its fantastic.

The single is out now as limited etched vinyl 7" and digital download.

"Autre temps" lyrics:
Une prière lointaine que porte le vent du soir
Anime les feuilles dans leur danse alanguie.
C'est le chant des vieux arbres entonné pour toi,
Pour ces bois obscurs maintenant endormis.
Sans nous attendre tant de saisons ont passé;
Les feuilles dorées s'en allant mourir à terre
Renaîtront un jour sous un ciel radieux,
Mais notre monde érodé restera le même
Et demain toi et moi serons partis.
------------------

English translation:

Another Time
A distant prayer, carried by the evening wind
Enlivens leaves in their languid dance.
Hear the song of the old trees, singing for you
For the dark, resting woods.
So many seasons have passed; they did not wait.
The golden leaves dying on the ground
Will be reborn under bright skies
As this weatherworn world remains the same,
And tomorrow, you and I will be gone.

Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats - I'll Cut You Down

2012-01-06T18:58:00.005+01:00

Yesterday, was the Hard Rock Society's annual meeting, for the fifth year in a row at the Twelfth Night. A really wonderful event where 12 music geeks drinking beer and playing music, talking music and dreaming music. Alot of music will be played under a event like this, eight categories are examined, with each disc incisions around 40 minutes times 12:) Holy moses, but hell this is fun.

Here is my choices under each category that I stood for during this evening.

1. Band, That I Missed Live: Thin Lizzy - Are You Ready
One of the bands that I really wanted to see live when I was younger, but unfortunately never got the chance and now it's too late.

2. Bang Your Head: Motörhead - Overkill
This is a category that it really is plenty to choose from, but this is a song that I could never stand still when it is played.

3. Worst Production: Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - I'll Cut You Down
There are also plenty of bands who are suffering from a bad production but still got something so you can listen to it. This band I have selected seems to have tried a little too much to get to the old classic garage sound, so the sound is a bit too messy, but the song is great.

4. Best Ballad: Great White - Since I've Been Loving You
Ballad, hmm... In this case, quite simply, do not want to play "Wind Of Change" exactly, but choose a really great classics from the world's top band "Led Zeppelin", to spice it up a bit, I picked a really good cover of this performed by Great White .

5. Best Song Title: Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod
Right troublesome category, wanted something clever and good, so it had simply become a Ministry

6. Music For A Darkened Room: Opeth - Coil
A category that can be interpreted in many ways, my interpretation was a bit romantic, candlelight, a bottle of fine wine and a partner to share this with.

7. Honor The Dead: Patti Smith - Smells Like Teen Spirit
One category that you can celebrate their heroes one of, have already paid tribute to John Bonham in the ballad, so I could not take one more Led Zeppelin song, Dio is guaranteed to be choosed by someone else so this becomes too obvious. In the end, I looked at the classic twenty-seven year old deaths and found Kurt Cobain and his Nirvana, a song that does not directly have been a favorite, but when I heard Patti Smith's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit, I got sold, flowersinyourhead as good it is.

8. Best Right Now: Vektor - Cosmic Cortex
An obvious choice right now, an album has been played dozens of times and recommended warmly.

Here are some pictures.

Thin Lizzy - Are You Ready

2012-01-04T20:45:00.000+01:00

Today is the official Thin Lizzy day! It is 25 years since Phil Lynott passed away and of course we pay tribute to this band with a truly Lizzy smoker. This is a band I actually wished that have seen Live!

Thin Lizzy are an Irish hard rock band formed in Dublin in 1969. Two of the founding members, drummer Brian Downey and bass guitarist/vocalist Phil Lynott met while still in school. Lynott assumed the role of frontman and led them throughout their recording career of thirteen studio albums. Thin Lizzy are best known for their songs "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. After Lynott's death in 1986, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years based around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes.

Todays tune "Are You Ready" is taken from the "Live and Dangerous" album, a live double LP, released in 1978. It was recorded in Philadelphia, London and Toronto in 1977, during the tours accompanying the albums Johnny the Fox and Bad Reputation.

Live and Dangerous was originally intended to be a studio album. Working with producer Tony Visconti, Thin Lizzy maintained huge success with their previous album Bad Reputation, and the group wanted to work with him again. However, Visconti had a very tight schedule, so Phil Lynott came up with the idea that they spend two weeks together compiling a live album instead.

It was also the last album to feature Brian Robertson, who went on to form Wild Horses with ex-Rainbow bassist Jimmy Bain.

On this album, the band segues immediately from "Cowboy Song" into "The Boys Are Back in Town", on the line "a cowboy’s life is the life for me". This technique was revisited with the same pair of live tracks in subsequent performances, and showcased more professionally on further live albums - examples being Thin Lizzy's later concert in Sydney with Gary Moore, and also on Thin Lizzy's Greatest Hits.

The tune also features on Life (subtitled Live, and labeled Life:Live on the original vinyl LP editions) is a double live album, released in 1983. This double album was recorded during their farewell tour in 1983, principally at the Hammersmith Odeon in London, UK. Phil Lynott had felt reluctantly that it was time to disband the group after the 1983 tour and to mark the occasion, former Thin Lizzy guitarists Eric Bell (1969-73), Brian Robertson (1974-8) and Gary Moore (1974, 1977 and 1978-9) joined the band on stage at the end of these gigs to do some numbers. This was called "The All-Star Jam".

live performance of the track "are you ready" taken from the live and dangerous album.

live performance of the track "are you ready" taken from the "Life" album, this is live in Dublin, Ireland, 1983

In February 2010 Live and Dangerous was ranked number one in PlanetRock.com's The Greatest Live Album Top 40.

Tune Of The Day wish you a Happy End and Happy New Year! We wish you an amazing and musically 2012, everything could only improve. We end this year with the year's best cover.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a soundtrack by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for David Fincher's film of the same name. It was released on December 9, 2011. This is the second soundtrack that Reznor and Ross have worked on together, the previous being the Oscar-winning The Social Network, also for Fincher. According to Reznor, the album will be released on Mute Records outside North America.

The soundtrack is nearly three hours long, and includes covers of the Led Zeppelin track, "Immigrant Song", featuring Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the Bryan Ferry song, "Is Your Love Strong Enough?", by Reznor and Ross' side-project How to Destroy Angels.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a 2011 English-language drama/thriller film directed by David Fincher, adapted from Stieg Larsson's Swedish-language novel of the same name by Steven Zaillian.

The film stars Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander and tells the story of a man's mission to find out what has happened to a girl who has been missing for 40 years, and who may have been murdered.

Official Trailer from the film - In Theaters 12/21

Graveyard - Buying Truth (Tack Och Förlåt)

2011-12-29T21:15:00.001+01:00

From Gothenburg comes the band Graveyard that with their second release "Hisingen Blues" captured first place on my top 10 list of the best album of 2011 with a classic retro album, an album that really will live long. Really nice beats spiced with a passion for the musical. "Hisingen Blues" has been tossed around in the top layer during most of the year and rooted down really well. A worthy winner in my book.

In Flames - Fear Is The Weakness

2011-12-29T08:31:00.001+01:00

Number 1, In Flames, Of Course!!!!

Today there isnt any other album that fully fill my needs in the music world.
Stones and I are going to see them at the club concert they are doing :D
Thats gonna be soo awesome.

This new album "Sounds Of A Playground Fading" is diffrent in many ways, one of em is that Jesper is not there, but they have another great guitarrist there, Niclas Engelin. Niclas is with In Flames now, at the same time he is in Engel, a band thats really great as well. In Flames Album has many highlights, this tune is one of em.

Enjoy!

Thetania´s #2 Is Pagans Mind´s new album "Heavenly Ecstasy".
Its their 5th album.

This Norwegian band came to Stockholm couple of years ago, and Cheezuz

Black Country Communion - The Battle For Hadrians Wall

2011-12-27T20:56:00.001+01:00

I have now reached #3 and its closing in :D
Ive choosed one of my closest god´s in this area,

Black Country Communion or BCC, they released a album this year just called "2"

Ive choosed a tune that eint that rocky as the album in its whole is..its lyrics are written by Joe Bonamassa, and the music is by Hughes, Bonamassa, Shirley.

As I told u in the beginning of this top ten, I was totally astonished when I saw them earlier this year. The day after I worked at Europe´s concert and Joe B, Derek Sherinian and some of their tech´s came, and Joe came up stage and play´d a tune with John Norum that was awesome! and I got a hug and a chat with Derek, whom i really like since Dream Theater.

Ladys and Gents, This is BCC and Joe Bonamassa!

Mastodon - The Ruiner

2011-12-27T12:42:00.002+01:00

Number 3

of the best Albums - 2011

Mastodon leave their progressive concept thinking with the latest release "The Hunter" and does a little more straightforward album. A record that works at any time since the album is easier, more fun and filled with joy.
The artwork for the album is brilliant!

Number 4

of the best Albums - 2011

"Unto The Locust" is a album that contains almost everything and executed in a brilliant way. Their new musical path is a wise choice, the best thing they've done and actually managed to combine a highly effective record.. An impressive sequel to "The Blackening"

Jeremy Irons & the Ratgang Malibus - Golden Hours

2011-12-23T11:06:00.000+01:00

Number 5

of the best Albums - 2011

A record that has really rooted in my ear. A beautiful rainbow-story with a wonderful retro splash. Really nice cover that shows the indications that psych rock is at the center of this work. Is warmly recommended. Imagine if you could get this on vinyl!

Todays tune is the elegant "Golden Hours"!

Fair To Midland - Amarillo Sleeps On My Pillow

2011-12-22T22:15:00.000+01:00

Number 6!

of the best Albums - 2011

"Arrows & Anchors" is indeed a dramatic and somewhat profound works with numerous throws from the one to the second element, that it is impossible to separate them at all, but everything falls so naturally in place in the end without that it will be strange or odd in any way.

Todays tune "" is record at Violitionist Sessions from Denton, Texas, July 2011.

Vektor - Cosmic Cortex

2011-12-21T09:28:00.000+01:00

Arizona's new heroes VECTOR made me fall off the chair with its predecessor "Black Future". A unique blend of Technical Thrash and Speed in which progressive clouds welling up as a liniment for the rough carpet of verbal primal scream, coils of jazz fusion that just strokes the cheek.

David DiSanto's voice is unique, an incredible intensity, can not recall that I have ever heard anything like this before and it is fantastic and fits in perfectly.

This is the most stand-out group the Thrash Metal scene right now!

Today's tune "Cosmic Cortex" is the opening track on the album, fasten your seatbelts, here we go!

Opeth - Folklore

2011-12-20T22:10:00.002+01:00

The year's biggest question mark, with several turns on the recordplayer have the album finally started to sink in. A progressive story that Mr. Åkerfeldt wants to share with listeners, it is a calm and sensible, beautiful and historical album.

A record that really required a lot of playing time, before I understood what they wanted to convey.

Todays tune "Folklore" is a beautiful thing, sit back and enjoy.

Joe Bonamassa - The Meaning of The Blues

2011-12-20T09:36:00.000+01:00

My # 8 is My Guitar God, Joe Bonamassa.

He is a productive man, at the same year he released one album, with his band Black country Communion and one solo album that ive choosen for my #8 wanted it higher but..aaarghh its so much good albums this year. The album is named Dust Bowl and its of course a blues album, he is playing like no other livin person, even BB King thinks he rocks.

Unfortunally this tune doesnt have a video, not even a bad live one,
so close ure eyes, listen and enjoy.

Mastodon - Stargasm

2011-12-19T22:28:00.000+01:00

My #9 album is Mastodon with their album "The Hunter".

I didnt think they would or could make even better album, but this is a giant!
The riffs, the heavy groove that I just love! A taste of psycadelic doesnt make it worse :)

The album is their fifth studio album and was released in September 2011, in an interview with MTV Germany, it was revealed that the new album will be called The Hunter in honor of Brent Hinds's brother who unexpectedly passed away while hunting during the making of the album. Speaking to AOL's Noisecreep, drummer Brann Dailor described the new material as not so much proggy as riff-oriented and "a little more stripped down," akin to that of Leviathan (2004) and "like a really super-heavy Led Zeppelin or something." Asked if Brent Hinds is again responsible for most of the initial songwriting", Dailor replied, "I think it's a little more collaborative, with everyone chipping in."

Folks, This is #9 Mastodon!

Saxon - Surviving Against the Odds

2011-12-18T20:07:00.001+01:00

Number 10!

of the best Albums - 2011

One of this year's surprise, that these old men could get a record that swings as good as this was almost non-existence. Call To Arms is very familiar with their roots but created with an incredible desire. Clearly Saxons best album of this century. They keep the balance of the classic 80 metal and the 90's, freshening it up with a modern sound, the band is tight as undersized glove. Call To Arms hits you in the face like a sledgehammer.

Vektor - Dying World

2011-12-18T11:59:00.002+01:00

Hey folks!

Its the time of the year that we look back..NOT that far ☺
Just this year, 2011.
What we thought was best in the album releases world for 2011.
As Stones said we don't think the same … So we will present 2 Tune of the day per day for some days now, with start of today!
To summarize this year for me, yea its been a hard working year, with lotsa band and less hrs. to sleep. I've been multi working and…pwew Im tired, but wtf the show must go on, as Queen said.

If I compare it with last year, regarding to good gigs…hm dunno who won, every gig has its specials… My best gig this year in music and experience, was Foo Fighters at Stadium, Stockholm and I don't even have em as my favo´s but what ever it was a great gig.

The second place goes to Black Country Communion, this gig I didn't work on, just stood there and listening……the whole gig. This is very rare when it comes to me, Im a mingler :p I loved their tunes and Joe´s guitar and Derek´s keyboard, John´s drumms, Glen´s bass… although He took some space there on the stage ☺
Hope ure following our top ten list.

Number 10 is the band Vektor 3rd studio album "Outer Isolations"

For me, this is a album that's full of energy and progressive metal, they say its trash metal force. This album is even better than their last album "Black Future" that they released 2009. Love this album much!

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year from Me, Thetania, Cheers!

Amebix - Knights of the Black Sun

2011-12-17T16:24:00.003+01:00

Since we can not quite agree on a common list for this year's top 10 albums, it will be a list from each one of us on the same day, one list position in the morning and same in the evening, it will generate a lot of music here at the Tune Of The Day during these days. This year's list has been really difficult to tie together, started with a Top 50 and was sift hard, ended up that I had to go on the most listening records and many that in the beginning was obvious was removed. Right or wrong, judge youreselfs, hard as hell, I must say.

We start by presenting the positions outside the Top 10 that I, Stones have, that is 11-20 just like last year.

Top 11 - 20 on Tune Of The Day

11. Ghost Brigade - Until Fear No Longer Defines Us
12. Wooden Shjips - West
13. Hong Faux - The Crown That Wears The Head
14. In Flames - Sounds Of A Playground Fading
15. PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
16. Pyramido - Salt
17. In Solitude - The World, The Flesh, The Devil
18. Black Country Communion - 2
19. Amebix - Sonic Mass
20. Blood Ceremony - Living With The Ancients

Today I pick a song from an album that has grown a lot recently, but unfortunately it has got too little playing time in order to stretch higher and pinch a position in the Top 10. This band is actually quite new to me (Thanks Tom for the tip), Ive heard the name mentioned a lot over the years, but I have to admit, didnt really find out more about them, it has just passed me. This record is actually really good and I recommended this highly.

Amebix are an English crust punk/heavy metal band. Formed as "The Band with No Name," Amebix's original run was from 1978 to 1987, during which time they released three EPs and two full-length LPs. The group has reunited as of 2008.

By being one of the first bands to blend anarcho-punk and heavy metal music, Amebix are often cited as one of the key bands that helped to create the crust punk style. Such notable bands as Sepultura, Neurosis and Deviated Instinct have paid homage to the band.

Todays tune "Knights of the Black Sun " is the first single from the latest release "Sonic Mass", released in 2011

Motörhead - Rock Out

2011-12-15T22:05:00.000+01:00

The past weekend did the music stand in the "middle" as usual. This time, we got a pleasant visit from Motörhead. The band that once again did stop here on their tour, they regularly visit Sweden during their almost constant touring. Have actually lost count how many times I've seen them live. This time, was they accompanied with the Norwegian guy called Jorn, who was the support act on this run.

Same day as this, it were an release party of the new Motörhead Vodka.

Demonia did visit the party, you can read about it here!

Motörhead delivered as expected and it had actually been great to have to have the opportunity to photograph the gig, but there was no time on this occasion so I have just a little stray images. But a good friend had actually had time, so I offer some really awesome pictures from Micke Sandström, Enjoy.

Todays tune "Rock Out" is taken from the nineteenth studio album Motörizer. It was released on 26 August 2008.

Here are some crappy pictures!

Enter the Hunt - Fighters

2011-12-14T17:26:00.001+01:00

Katatonia is celebrating an 20th year anniversary, this evening they will play at the Göta Källare here in Stockholm, tonights show is going to be a little extravagant in the celebrations as Katatonia have the pleasure to feature exclusive appearances by all their ex-bandmembers and a couple of guests at this show only.

Katatonia will again perform two sets at each show; the first set will they play the front to back of ‘Last Fair Deal Gone Down’ – the album that put Katatonia firmly on the musical map and coincidentally also celebrates 10 years since its release. The second set will consist of a mixed set of carefully picked songs from their extensive catalogue. In its entirety this evening with Katatonia will be well over two and a half hours of live music.

Among the special guests: Long time former band mates and brothers Fredrik and Mattias Norrman will take on their old bass and guitar duties on selected songs. Also confirmed is the one and only Mr Guillaume Le Huche (a.k.a. Israphel Wing), known for being the band’s bass guitarist on their very first studio album ‘Dance of December Souls’ back in 1993. And the last special guest to be announced is Krister Linder who’s flying over from New York City and taking on vocals duties next to Jonas Renkse to depart the night’s performance.

Enter The Hunt makes a special gig as support act for Katatonia so I thought that we offer a track by them.

Enter The Hunt (ETH) is a Swedish metal band from Stockholm, which was formed in 2002 by Bjorn Flodkvist, Stefan Kälfors and Mats Ståhl. The debut album "For Life. 'Til Death. To Hell. With Love" released by Sony BMG in August 2006. The band's second full length album planned "Empires Fall" has had its release postponed. A first single, "Fighters", released in May 2009. This single is today's Tune Of The Day.

Blog and WeRock colleague Kim Kahn writes about this in her blog and she also got the chance to do an interview with the band that you can read about here! Additionally, there is a contest on WeRock, where the price is a delicious ETH t-shirt, check it out here!

Deportees - Islands and Shores

2011-12-12T21:45:00.000+01:00

A week ago did Deportees visited Stockholm at Berns, a sold out house generated one more day at the Berns, which also became sold out, great fun for the band, I must say. Working at Berns feels sometimes a little luxury In some way. This was a fairly soft event with a bunch of musicians who was typically Swedish, you know, like that little reclusive and wary. But the band made a good impression on me, even that this kinda music not immediately turns me on.

Support act for this event was a kinda interesting constellation named "Winhill/Losehill" which was kinda cool, nice and well played live, check them out if you like indie music.

"Winhill/Losehill" also took the opportunity to record a video at the Berns, too their first single, listen to Spotify.

Deportees are a Swedish band from Vindeln and Umeå, formed in 2003, consisting of brothers Peder Stenberg (vocals) and Anders Stenberg (guitar), in addition to Thomas Hedlund (drummer) and Mattias Lidström (keyboard).

The debut single "Arrest Me 'til it Hurts", a peculiar song with influences of pop, funk, country music and Prince. The single generated considerable interest among the public and the critics, it was followed by the first full length CD All Prayed Up in 2004. The album was nominated for two Swedish Grammies, for "Best new artist" and "Best pop group".

The band toured Sweden, United States, the UK and Ireland. In 2006, for their second album Damaged Goods, they cooperated with producers Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Björn Yttling. Their third album Under the Pavement - The Beach in 2009 was produced by Måns Lundberg. They won the P3 Gold award for Best Pop in January 2010. Their 4th album released in October 2011 is titled Islands & Shore.

November - Sekunder (förvandlas till år)

2011-12-10T16:47:00.000+01:00

During the show of Abramis Brama at Debaser Slussen last Saturday, did they invited up one guest on the stage, it was none other than Björn "Binge" Inge, who according to Abramis Brama´s statement, that he was the one who were behind the band,inspired them, pushing them forward to continue recording new materials and keep the flag flying. This was a very pleasant surprise . Ran in to "Binge" after the show, who told me about his new band "Mårran" that soon will be releaseing their debut album. This will be very interesting to listen to. So today we serve you guys a tune from a classic "Binge" band.

November is a Swedish rock band formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1969 by Christer Stålbrandt,
Richard Rolf and Björn Inge. Their music was partly inspired by American acid rock, but heavy and blues based like a mixture of Cream, Mountain and Led Zeppelin. November started in 1968 at Tegelhögen, a youth club in Vällingby (a Stockholm suburb). At this club Christer Stålbrandt and Björn Inge played together with two friends as The Imps. After a few months Stålbrandt left the group to form a new group called Train. Björn Inge joined shortly after. Train also included Snowy White on guitar. In the early autumn of 1969 Snowy decided to return to his native homeland, England, and Richard Rolf joined as their new guitarist.

On November 1st, 1969 they supported Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac at the Que-Club in Gothenburg, and therefore they decided to call themselves November.

November was one of the first Swedish rock bands with Swedish lyrics. Most of the lyrics were written by Stålbrandt, influenced by the 60's flower power movement. Despite the Swedish lyrics, November was quite popular in England. While touring in England the lyrics was often translated to English, the crowd, however, insisted on the band performing with Swedish lyrics.

November recorded three albums which all reached high places on the Swedish charts. After their last concert at club Domino on New Year's Eve 1972 the band split up and had up until 2007, only performed once, namely during the release party for the CD November-Live 1993 (recorded on tour in 1971) on 30 Nov 1993.

Christer Stålbrandt moved on starting the group Saga, Björn Inge joined jazz rockers Energy, and Richard Rolf was one of the forming members of Bash and later on joined Nature.

Here is some pictures of "Binge" in action at Debaser Slussen, with Abramis Brama.

Today's tune "Sekunder" is taken from November's first album, "En ny tid är här..." ("A new era is here)". The album was released in summer 1970 at the record company Sonet and became a sales success, with 8 weeks on "Kvällstoppen". The song "Mount Everest" was released as a single and was two weeks on the Top Ten list. To sing hard rock in Swedish, it was basically just Pugh Rogefeldt that done that before November.

Abramis Brama- Kylan Kommer Inifrån

2011-12-09T20:29:00.001+01:00

Continues at this Püssy a Go Go night.

We mentioned earlier that Püssy a Go Go arranges magic music nights.
Their Motto is "Will make you cream in your jeans"
The club with the vinyl crates full of 77'punk, 60's garage, psychedelia, prog rock, the most lethal heavy metal and other generated between 40-70s. With live bands, release parties, obscure drop by´s & the best people behind the music machines take the club around wherever it feels to be. This autumn it is found mainly at Nalen, Debaser, The small hotel bar & cafe Louie Louie in Stockholm Sweden.
It was so funny, cos one of them said Oh thats so cool that u gonna come and I didnt recognized her name first, then I realized she was my oldest friend doughter.

Anyway we had a ball on this concert/club, mayby to many beers :D
The band we came their for was Abramis Brama, a band that comes from up north in Sweden. I encountered them some years ago and fell in love! The sound is Black Sabbath but not...haha Its very 70´s like but new anwyay. Hard to describe. The band lost a guitar guy but still they sound very good. They said on their homesite:
"Robert, after six and a half years decided to leave Abramis. We think of course that it is really sad. We have not yet been decided whether or not to replace Robert (with another guitarist)."

They sing in Swedish , I cought the singer afterwards and got a hug and a picture :)
Here are the pics that were taken.

You will find their homesite here!

I do have 2 Videos for you today.
The tune comes from the latest album that they gave out 2009

Dudes and Dudettes, Here is Abramis Brama!

Peace, Thetania

The Graviators - Druid's Ritual

2011-12-08T21:34:00.001+01:00

The Club "Püssy a Go Go" stood for last weekend's club night at Debaser, Slussen here in Stockholm. Offered a delicious cream cake of three bands, as Asteroid (which you could read here on the blog earlier this week), The Graviators (today's tune) and Abramis Brama (Tomorrow).

Asteroid, a band that I thought sounded pretty okay, a real old school jam band with the 70´s century characters. However, I was a little surprised by The Graviators performance, a band that I actually had looked forward to see and they behaved really well live. Was a little disappointed when my favorite tune "Roller" from the album was not played live. But at large it was really, really good, great classic hard rock with a little stoner feeling. I have their debut album on the shelves which I like alot, a record which has one of the year's most beautiful cover design. I purchased their latest 12' split single that they have done with Brutus, a long and intimate tune.

The Graviators was formed deep in the woods of southern Sweden in 2009, with a vision to write and record music inspired by the sounds of the great rock ‘n’ roll groups of the 70's. With a mix of heavy, yet melodic riffs, that will take you on a trip back in time, when bands like Black Sabbath and Pentagram took heavy rock to new heights, The Graviators caught the ear of Swedish label Transubstans who signed them in early 2009. On December 11th, The Graviators self titled debut hit the stores. Their first music video, for the song Back to the Sabbath, was shot by renowned music video director Thomas Tjäder who have made videos for In Flames and At The Gates. The band was featured with the track The Magician, which also appeared on the vinyl release, on the Planet Fuzz compilation Cowbells & Cobwebs.

In 2010 Dutch label Clear Spot/ Headspin records released the album as an exclusive double splatter vinyl. The artwork for this vinyl release (and the 2nd press of the album on CD) was made by the incredible artist Vance Kelly.

In December 2010 they had the great honor of supporting the American doom legends Saint Vitus on their European tour, which took the bands through eight countries.
2011 will see the release of a vinyl split with label mates Brutus, a 14-minute epic called Druid’s Ritual. On the 16th september 2011 The Graviators enterd the studio in Malmö. And record like in the good old days (Analog recording) And hopefully mixing and mastering we'll be finished November/December. Music video we'll be out to. The album we'll be out February next year.

Here is some pictures from the gig:

Todays tune "Druid's Ritual" is taken from the 12' split featuring Norwegian/Swedish 70's hard rockers Brutus and the Swedish cornerstone of doom; The Graviators.
