Saint Vitus - Blessed Night

Sunday, a day that you really should only be relaxed, in other words, do not do more than is needed. But I've certainly been busy, but not jobs, but here at home, also gave me the chance to fix some images, the backcatalogue began to get really big and realized that this will take a whole day to fix, well, I took some time and fixed the two previous gigs that I shot, will be here eventually, also I took my way through the half of the Sweden Rock pictures, which is well done.

Sunday means the classics here at Tune Of The Day, so then we pick one Classic Act that played at Sweden Rock.

L.A. Doom giants Saint Vitus played a very good performance at the Sweden Rock Festival, well played and really heavy. The band formed in 1978. They consist of founding members Dave Chandler (guitarist) and Mark Adams (bass), alongside sporadic singer Scott Weinrich and recently added drummer Henry Vasquez. The band has been regarded and credited as one of the first bands of the genre, starting out as early as the late 1970s, along with Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Trouble and Candlemass. As of 2012, they have released eight studio albums.

Here are some pictures from Sweden Rock!

Dave Chandler & Messiah Marcolin who i bumped into at the Festival and had to take a photo!

Todays tune "Blessed Night" is taken from the eighth studio album "Lillie: F-65", which was released on April 27, 2012. This is the first Saint Vitus studio album since 1995's Die Healing and the first to feature Scott "Wino" Weinrich on vocals in 22 years, since 1990's V. It also marks their first album with Henry Vasquez on drums.

In an interview, Wino explained the album title name was in reference to a powerful downer back in the day and that Dave Chandler really had a thing for his downers.

Todays clip is Live in Denver, CO - March 29th, 2011 - Metalliance Tour.

Jex Thoth - Separated At Birth

 

Jessica "Jex" Thoth is an American vocalist. She is well-known for being the singer of Jex Thoth and the psychedelic rock band Sabbath Assembly.

Earlier this week, organized club Pussy a Go Go, a concert with Jex Thoth + Saturnalia Temple + Anguish. Pussy a Go Go has certainly managed to bring in lots of great bands, so a great tribute to the girls behind the club. Together with Fritz Corner do they entertains Stockholm awesome bands all year. My two completely clear favourites in the music scene right now here in Stockholm. I follow the club releases of up coming shows with an Iron fist ... hehe

Jex Thoth is one of those bands who impressed most on me in recent years. Ever since I first heard the self-titled debut from 2008, I nearly knelt before their altars. Jex Thoth is one of the fastest growing and right now most renowned bands in their genre. Nearly a year ago, they was over and redeemed Stockholm with their music.

The show at Debaser was simply magic live, psychedelic heavy rock with bewitching vocals, light candles and incense to achieve the perfect feeling. You could watch Jessica's trance-like dance, which spread like a disease on the audience. She has a voice with virtually unmatched awe-depth, charisma and a maximum teeming set of vocal chords. What atmosphere it was. There I was, swaying with the music, almost that fell into a trance, enjoying to the full so that I almost forgot to take pictures.

After the show, I just had to go up to the band and thank them for a great evening. And it was not just me who thought the same thing, even Messiah Marcolin (Candlemass) arrived quickly and praised for Jex Thoth a great show, when Jessica realized it was the Messiah, then came the tears, it may have been the case that Candlemass belonged to one of the influences of Jex Thoth.

Today, Pussy a Go Go presents Obnoxious Youth + Danava @ Debaser Slussen

Here is some pictures from the show!
