Corroded - House of Hate

Friday, what do you do on a day like this, for those of you who do not want to spend the evening on the couch at home with a little "Fredagsmys (Cosy Friday)" (Swedish Friday tradition), you could always get out for some adventure. One tip is that you make a visit to the "Globe Arenas" and Annexet here in Stockholm and visit "Rocktoberfest"

Here they are mixing rock (Corroded, Sherlock Brothers and Self Deception) with five star street food and some real quality beer! Stureplansgruppen Arena Catering and Stockholm Globe Arenas welcomes you to a brand new variant of the German classic Oktoberfest. Together with the Chef of the Year (1999), Karl Ljung and master brewer John Spendrup from Gotland Brewery, they create a tasteful feast with great live entertainment.

One of the bands that is playing there is Corroded, who are mixing a tour start with a release party for their brand new record "X Years of Anger".

Corroded officially took shape in 2004 after a couple of jam sessions. It was soon clear that the path of the band would be in the heritage of the heavy rock acts of the 70 ́s with additional layers of a more modern sound.

Three Cd ́s were recorded in the first struggling years as an unsigned act:
2005 - Heart of the Machine
2007 - Sessions ward-22
2007 - III

Numerous great reviews were published in magazines and webzines like German legendary banger magazine Metal Hammer. Due to the attention the band was soon booked for a Sweden Rock Festival apperance. and after their first UK tour - 2008 they were signed to Ninetone Records Corroded, went quickly from unknown to household in Sweden, when national TV station TV4 handpicked their de- but-single “Time and Again” to accompany the promotion of their blockbuster show “Expedition Robinson” internationally known as “Survivor”.

The band has been touring immensely in their homeland , hitting all important clubs and festivals in Sweden Such as Debaser ,Sticky Fingers , KB , Sweden Rock Festival, Metaltown, Getaway Rock Festival , Rockstad Falun and Sonisphere Pre Party. Corroded also supported Avenged Sevenfold on their tour through the Nordic Countries in the fall of 2010 and Stone Sour in Sthlm 2012.

The band is deep within the same influences as before with the heavy rock acts of the 70:s,80 ́s and 90 ́s with addition- al layers of a more modern sound shining through. 

Todays tune "House of Hate" is taken from the latest compilation album "X Years of Anger", released Oct - 8, 2014.



Corroded Consists of:

Jens Westin: Vocals, Guitar
Tomas Andersson: Guitar,Backing vocals
Peter Sjödin: Guitar
Bjarne Elvsgård: Bass

Tune Of The Day wish you all a Happy New Year!! Today's tune will be released a bit later on today!

Odyssey - Pyramids

For a little while ago I became one day older, not that i really celebrates birthdays any longer. But it's always nice to be remembered. Especially with a congratulations and then i never say no to a little gift :) Actually got some gifts, a few drawings from my daughters, a little bag for my ipod that my daughter had made, a new mouse to the computer of my wife. So I was really happy, it was a fantastic day. A few days ago a good friend "Chief Rebel Angel" came over for a coffee, he actually had a small bag with some great beer and a record as a gift. Wow, shit, how cool is that.

So today we serve you guys with some beer and naturally we pick out a track from the album I got.

Swedish hard rockers Graveyard Together by Three Towns Independent Brewers created beer. Graveyard Hisingen Brew - a tasty, healthy light layers with malt subtle and distinct aromatic notes from American Cascade aroma hops. Fruity, aromatic hop aroma and flavor, with hints of honey, herbs and citrus. This beer is pretty good for an rock'n roll beer!!

The second beer was also a real surprise, first time I tried this and it actually tasted really good, a future favorite perhaps? What I understood of "Chief Rebel" this was his house beer! Malt and hops are beautifully married in this full-bodied, copper-red Pale Ale. Red Seal is generously hopped for a long, spicy finish.

The album was Swedish Odyssey's "Abysmal Despair" that is a much anticipated debut album on Transubstans Records. Heavy & harsh stonerrock deluxe with a great feeling for riffs, the band hits it hard, and hits it good! Think stonerrock, add some noise and sludge - and you get a vague idea what this trio is all about, you will get some "Sleep", "Converge" and "Pink Floyd". Over time, it has in several occasions been called garage-stoner. The record came out as black vinyl but also in a limited release with the grand difference of colour; this gatefold is embracing a beautifully made green vinyl!

Odyssey is a trio consisting of Jonas Pedersen on vocals, Jesper Karlsson on drums and Marcus Östensson on guitar. The band came about after many discussions between the guys about creating a band that possesed a heavy sound and a driving energy. In spring 2010, it took shape. Already on day one Odyssey knew what to do, after only two rehearsals the first demo was recorded and the first gig booked.

And that pace has continued ...

After recording numerous demo tapes and an EP in true DIY spirit Odyssey will release their first full-length album on Transubstans earlier this spring.

Todays tune "" is taken from the full-length album "Abysmal Despair"O
