As I lay Dying - The Sound of Truth

Back to Taste Of Caos.

I went up to the other stage a quickie to see a bit of
the metalcore band As I Lay Dying.
(this stage had a lot better sound than main stage)
A hard core Growl band. How can i describe em, hm.
A band who kept a hard pace with
growling vocals of a hard tattooed singer,
yeap that's what it was :)
Took some pics, but hm..it was kinda hard cos both audience
and the band was moving or jumping..hehe :p

They come from San Diego, CA in the US.
Lambesis formed As I Lay Dying in 2000 with drummer Jordan Mancino, debuting with Beneath the Encasing of Ashes the following year. At the time, San Diego’s music scene was enjoying the last wave of the mid-90s pop-punk explosion.

It is a christian band and in an interview with Tim Lambesis, he says:
“As Christians we believe in the bible and we believe very strongly and our faith is very important to us, Behemoth describe Christians as very judgmental and I can relate to why they would be so hated because judging other people is not something we’re supposed to be doing. If you really follow the teachings of Jesus it’s all about love and forgiveness.”
Feels somehow very odd in the world of Metal but its kinda cool.

They did 5 studio albums and one compilation.
The video i picked for today´s tune eint new but from 2007
from the album "An Ocean Between Us".
Their new album is somehow harder than that pretty good indeed.
Thats named "The Powerless Rise" and was released in maj 2010.



Here is a video from their new album,
The first tune on this album: Beyond Our Suffering

As I was a bit late I saw Papa Roach, As I Lay Dying and Disturbed.

Took some pics of these 3 band that I will share with u all.

Bullet For My Valentine - Your Betrayal

Bullet for My Valentine is out on tour and visited Stockholm and Annexet yesterday. Was actually a pretty good gig, looked very hungry on stage and gave everything they had, the stage was built to the standard one for a hard rock gig with running ramps and drums high in the middle. The sound was really good where I stood and light show was well done, the only thing I can point was that I felt really old when the audience was covered by 90% kids who shouted themselves hoarse.

Here is a small photo special from yesterday, enjoy!

Todays tune "Your Betrayal" is a song by Welsh metal band Bullet for My Valentine and was released as the first single from their third album, Fever.

The song is featured on the soundtrack for NHL 11. The song was also used in the TV spot for the Angelina Jolie film, Salt.

The video features the band playing while fire is in the background. Scenes behind the flames show a girl committing each of the Seven Deadly Sins. The video ends with the screen fully engulfed in flames.

Owe Thörnqvist - Gun Från Dragarbrunn

Owe Thörnqvist (born 12 March 1929 in Uppsala) is a Swedish troubadour, revue artist and songwriter. Since the 1960s he has lived in Spain and Florida in the winter for health reasons, and in Sweden in the summers. He has also made regular concert tours in Sweden.
In 1953, Thörnqvist produced his first revue in Uppsala, and in 1955 his first record was released. His musical style spans over both rock, rumba and calypso, and he has also written pastiches of American popular music; his texts are characterised by word play and humour.
Thörnqvist was one of the first people to do stand-up comedy in Sweden, in venues such as Hamburger Börs and Berns in Stockholm in the 1950s. He has worked together with artists such as Povel Ramel (in the revue I hatt och strumpa in 1961-62), Anita Lindblom, Lill Lindfors and Eva Rydberg. In 2004, Thörnqvist received H. M. The King's Medal in the 8th size for his many contributions to Swedish culture as a songwriter, singer and composer. He has also received the Evert Taube prize (Evert Taube-stipendiet) and the Cornelis Vreeswijk prize (Cornelis Vreeswijk-stipendiet). Owe is also know as the first Swedish Rockking! Owe Thörnqvist recorded and released his first rock song - "Diverse Julboogie" he called it - in 1955!

This Sunday appeared Owe at a sold-out Rival here in Stockholm, that this so-resilient 82-year-old, still can walk and also manages to tear off its entire catalog and also be on stage and show off the entire 3 hours is fucking incredible. The fact that this man knows his business, is absolutely no doubt it, he has a unique contact with the audience, an audience where almost everybody knows all the lyrics and it shows sometimes in spontaneous singing, also he likes to play with his audience with both singing, arm in arm and charades are a joy to watch.

It is a tortuous and checkered journey with a very interesting story that is mixed with a lot of humor. Like when he says that Sven Ingvar made a megahit by a "Ett litet rött paket"(small red packet). "I stayed home and counted Stim-money."

Owe did illustrations for some of their songs before his 70th birthday party in 1999.

Todays tune is Gun från Dragarbrunn, a single that was recorded 10th of april 1959.



Here is a clip from 2009
