Behemoth - Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer

Saturday the 26th of January, Yes I know Im late, but hey it is what it is.

Back on track, that Saturday was a very interesting day, I did a double gig. The main thing was to work with BEHEMOTH at Annexet, but at the same time support my colleague with FIRST AID KIT at the Globe. So I was at both places at the same time, oh well running in between the arenas.

At FIRST AID KIT, we did the famous confetti, this time it was heart shaped paper confetti to be shooted with stadium shots. Pretty cool effect. Then we had a golden waterfall, you know a fall of golden sparkles, really cool. These girls really can sign, amazing. And it's the home field for these Swedish youngsters and it must have been a show of the lifetime to play for a sold-out Globen. They also had some guest artists as Amanda Jenssen, Sarah Klang, Little Jinder and Silvana Imam that joined the evening. Below is some pictures from the day.

Upstairs at BEHEMOTH it was mostly fire, some CO2, rigged as a crucifix and some black confetti to symbolise insects. Pretty cool effect, when the confetti was blown up in the arse on the bass player that did his centre number in the tune "Lucifer", see the live clip from Paris below, no fire here only sparkles because of the regulations at Bataclan.

The main act BEHEMOTH did a hell of a show, can't even remember if I have seen them as good as this. Excellent set list and very good executed, all my favorite tunes was played like "Conquer All", "Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer", "Ov Fire and the Void" and "Chant For Ezkaton 2000 E.V", decent length of the show, cool choreographed with pyro and the video wall, very good lighting, good sound and excellent pyro techs, well-done guys. See all the tunes below.

But hey this was not everything, together on the tour they had magically lurked over WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM and the Swedes in AT THE GATES, what a tour package that is. WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM was the first band to open the evening, half an hour they got in the spotlight and they used their time wisely with an excellent sound quality that really released their dreamy and seductive black metal in a dignified manner. The second act was the Swedish veterans AT THE GATES, with an hour of play time they mixed their tunes with new like "To Drink From the Night Itself", "A Stare Bound in Stone" and "Daggers of Black Haze" with classics like "Slaughter Of The Soul" and "Blinded By Fear" where Seth from BEHEMOTH helps out with some extra guitars.

Alter Bridge - My Champion

The American rock band ALTER BRIDGE is out on tour and make a stop at Annexet, Stockholm, Sweden for a show. With them they have the brand new studio album "The Last Hero". Support on tour is LIVING, see the dates below.

The Last Hero was written during the winter of 2015 while both singer Myles Kennedy and guitarist Mark Tremonti were on tour with their respective projects, Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators and Tremonti, with the recording process being finished during the spring of 2016. Regarding the sound of the album, Tremonti stated it to be similar to Fortress and Blackbird but they were planning on darker sound. The album name comes from the subject of being a hero in society and people's feelings of disillusionment with their current leaders. It also marks a departure from the band's previous visual style, with the grungy aesthetic of previous albums replaced with a more streamlined logo.

Today's tune "My Champion" is taken from Alter Bridge's new album "The Last Hero". "The lyric was actually inspired by thinking back to my situation as a kid," Myles says. "I was this really small, underdeveloped kid who had to work extremely hard to keep up with all of my peers. It was very frustrating. I would hear a lot of words of encouragement from parents, coaches, or teachers though. A lot of those things were stored away, and they manifested themselves in this song. I've been able to apply some of those concepts in my life a thousand times over since then."

Mumford & Sons - Lover Of The Light

Yesterday visited the English folk rock band Mumford & Sons Stockholm for a concert at Annexet.

Mumford & Sons started in the business about five years ago. Mumford & Sons, with a folk rock outfit from West London, has been greater than anyone could ever dream of. And this is good, very good, the bottom line is that they eagerly played acoustic instruments that goes straight into the body and reverses everything so you shiver like that lovingly. It is precisely when the interaction between the band and the audience when it all happens and it usually becomes magical and that's when you fall head over heels and gets sold to the "Club of Mumford & Sons". You go from the show with a comfortable fever chill and a smile that is stuck and you already longing for the next time.

The band consists of Marcus Mumford (lead vocals, guitar, drums, mandolin), Ben Lovett (vocals, keyboards, accordion, drums), Winston Marshall (vocals, banjo, guitar, resonator guitar), and Ted Dwane (vocals, string bass, drums, guitar).

Opening acts for the evening was Half Moon Run and Mystery Jets and as special guest the Swedish First Aid Kit

Todays tune "Lover of the Light" is a song released as the second single from their second studio album Babel (2012). The song was written by Mumford & Sons and produced by Markus Dravs.



Here is a live clip "Live At Red Rocks"



Setlist:

Babel
I Will Wait
Whispers in the Dark
White Blank Page
Holland Road
Timshel
Little Lion Man
Lover of the Light
Thistle & Weeds
Ghosts That We Knew
The Lion's Roar (First Aid Kit cover) (with First Aid Kit)
Awake My Soul
Roll Away Your Stone
Dust Bowl Dance

Encore:
Reminder
The Cave
The Weight (The Band cover) (with First Aid Kit) (with Half Moon Run and Mystery Jets)

Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans

Saying hello from the hotel Angelica Alley. Guests comes, goes and new comes, the hotel has been fully encumbered the past week. One of the guests thought I would do something with Lana Del Rey who visited Stockholm yesterday, I said ... who is that?

In the first phase, I'd should have work on it, but there has been so much else, so it ran quite simply out in the sand, Thetania was on the move to Malmo in order to make ESC (she left this morning) and I will stay at home and hold the fort with little bits and pieces, however, was a quick turn at the Globe for a different case and looked inside, saw four trucks along the annexet, a big production for such a small venue, nice I thought.

We meet the "Guest's" desire...

Todays tune "Blue Jeans" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, taken from her second studio album Born to Die (2012). Serving as the third single on April 8, 2012 through Interscope Records, it also appeared on the EP, Lana Del Rey (2011), the re-release of her second album, Born to Die - The Paradise Edition (2012), and the second disc of the compilation album, Now That's What I Call Chill!. Produced by Emile Haynie, the song was written by Del Rey, Haynie, and Dan Heath. As a downtempo pop ballad with alternative hip hop influences, it was featured in the television series Ringer, along with "Video Games", propelling Del Rey into the mainstream. A controversial performance of the song on SNL placed Del Rey under scrutiny and polarized opinion. Charting across Europe and Asia, "Blue Jeans" reached the top ten in Belgium, Poland, and Israel. Two music videos were created for the song. The first was self-produced. The second was shot and directed by Yoann Lemoine, featuring film noir elements and a crocodile. In the video, Del Rey's fictional boyfriend is played by Bradley Soileau, husband of pop singer, Porcelain Black.



Del Rey's music has been noted for its cinematic sound and its references to various aspects of pop culture, particularly that of the 1950s and '60s Americana. The singer has described herself as a "self-styled gangsta Nancy Sinatra." Before signing to a major record label, Del Rey provided sole production of her music videos. Musically, she draws influence from what she deems to be the masters of each genre, including Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Eminem, and Britney Spears, as well as from poetry and film noir. Del Rey has endorsed clothing line H&M, serving as the model for their Fall and Winter 2012 collection. In 2012, Del Rey became the face of the Jaguar F-Type luxury automobile.

Dropkick Murphys - State of Massachusetts

American Dropkick Murphys from Boston, USA is out on a world tour. Support during this tour was Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls. However, I missed his gig, was stuck with other things during their show.

Dropkick Murphys starts with their combine punkrock and Celtic folk music. A band that can completely knock one out with their energy, joy and seriousness and it sure was almost verging on it for a smack full evening at the annext witch was crammed with lots of happy people and it smells beer everywhere you turn, almost like a festival :)

They played many sweet tunes during the evening, see the setlist below, but it was well a bit divided on their alternative Christmas song "The season's upon us." From the new album, we hear a few songs, where "Rose Tattoo" stands out best, and it works clear as a bell, a future classic I guess. The band end the evening with a medly of hits and a really crazy interpretation of AC/DC "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" and fans of feminine gender allowed to do entrance on stage, wild dancing among the nearly 50 girls on stage until the evening ends, lots of happy fans leaving the annexet to drift back home during the super cold Swedish winter night which was waiting with open arms.

Here are some pictures that i was able to shoot with my pocket camera.

 

Setlist:

The Boys Are Back
Burn
Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya
Going Out In Style
Surrender
A Few Good Men
Your Spirit's Alive
Prisoner's Song
The Irish Rover
The Season's Upon Us
Blood and Whiskey

Fields of Athenry
The Battle Rages On
Out of Our Heads
Never Alone
The Gang's All Here

I'm Shipping Up to Boston
Worker's Song (with Frank Turner)

Encore:

End of the Night

Todays tune "The State of Massachusetts" is a song about the effects of drugs on individuals and their families by the Dropkick Murphys and was released as the first single from the album The Meanest of Times. This tune was not played during the evening, which was a shame.
