Nyt Liv - Hårde Tider

Continue from yesterdays 10th Years Celebration of the festival "Copenhell".

The second tune is "Hårde Tider" (Hard Times) that was written by NYT LIV (New Life) bassist Søren Hvidt, which is also played by NYT LIV with the help of musicians from RISING and HATESPHERE. Søren Hvidt says the following about the song: "We were given some framework for the project, and we have not tried that before. Among other things, there should be room for a guitar chase, a solo and some recognizability. Our songwriting is usually very dynamic and focuses on how we make room for the various instruments. After all, we are not a decidedly guitar solo band, so how should we find space for them? There should also be a chorus so that our musical concept was stretched a great deal. It is also one of the longest numbers we have ever been involved in making", says Hvidt.

Ti År I Helvede ep was released digitally on Friday, April 5 and on vinyl on April 19, 2019. The vinyl edition is severely limited and is available in 333 neon green and 333 black copies respectively - a total of 666 copies. And yes, the publishers, the record label Indisciplinarian, insist on calling it an ep, even though it only contains two songs, but that is to emphasize that these are two equal songs.

This years festival was takes place on days 19-22. June with major names like TOOL; SLIPKNOT and SCORPIONS.

Omvendt Korstog - Ulvens Ed

Did you know that this year, was the 10th anniversary for the Copenhell festival. Shit what times flys, remmeber the first years, been there and all I can say it's a cozy rock festival, just enough peoples that visist it and a good bunch of bands that plays there every year.

Anyway, I bumped into an EP with that celebrates its 10th anniversary, been in the flow of music for a some time, never really got to play it. But now I did, found out that a number of Danish rock and metal musicians have teamed up to make a tribute ep for the festival. It has become the all-star band Reverse Crusade and the ep Ten Years in Hell with the two songs "Ulvens Ed" (Wolf's Oath) and "Hårde tider" (Hard Times), which pay tribute to the festival's dedicated audience. Two songs on two day, why not, so tomorrow we play "Hårde tider" with NYT LIV

The music for "Ulvens Ed" (The Wolf’s Oath) is written by the two Danish rock veterans Tim Christensen (DIZZY MIZZ LIZZY) and Jacob "Cobber" Binzer (D-A-D), who play guitar and bass respectively on the song, with Casper Popp (BERSÆRK on vocals, Allan Tschicaja (PRETTY MAIDS) on drums and Niklas Sonne (DEFECTO) on lead guitar. Together they call themselves OMVENDT KORSTOG (Reverse Crusade). Lars Evers (BERSÆRK) has written the lyrics.

"Ulvens Ed" is both a musical and a lyrical attempt in capturing the spirit of COPENHELL. It is a special feeling of togetherness and sympathy for each other mixed with some beer and adventure. It is a very special world. After all, it is the most peaceful festival everl, so the song is in some way a singalong or love letter to COPENHELL about the fellowship that people experience at both the festival and in the whole environment. It is a battle cry for a peaceful community”, tells Jacob Binzer (D-A-D).

Copenhel festival was on June 19-22 2019, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Vocals: Casper Popp

Guitar: Tim Christensen

Bass: Jacob “Cobber” Binzer

Black Sabbath - After Forever

Sunday, time for a classic!

"After Forever" is a song by English rock band BLACK SABBATH. The song was released on their third studio album Master of Reality in 1971, and later the same year it had been released as the first single from the album, but failed to chart anywhere. The lyrics were written by Geezer Butler while the music was written by Tony Iommi.

The lyrics of the song "After Forever", written by Geezer Butler, a proclaimed Catholic, focus entirely on Christian themes. Although the album jacket credits Iommi alone as the composer of this song (including lyrics), the BLACK SABBATH Black Box Set refutes the album jacket credit and gives credit to this song (along with "Orchid" and "Embryo") to all four band members in keeping with their wishes to remain a democratic band. At the time, some viewed BLACK SABBATH as Satanists (which the band had consistently denied) due to their dark sound, image and lyrics. "After Forever" was released as a single along with "Fairies Wear Boots" in 1971. Rolling Stone reviewer Lester Bangs criticized the Christian theme of "After Forever" as too obvious, but welcomed the arrangement, while Wilson & Alroy's called the guitar sound "crude but effective".

I have been pretty lucky these last few weeks, as during my work I get the chance to see many good artist playing live all around the world and during these last weeks I have been given time to watch BLACK SABBATH play twice, almost 3 times during a two weeks period.

I saw SABBATH at Graspop, almost at Hellfest and yesterday at Copenhell, kinda cool.

Here is a few pictures from a magic night with BLACK SABBATH.
