Necrophobic - Blinded by Light, Enlightened by Darkness

Today we present last one, Category Seven: 

(Hefty) 

 taken from the annual hard rock evening.

Well this was a tricky one, should the tune go with the bombastic theme, atmospheric, horns, symphony, orchestra or what? Well if more straight forward style goes hefty then you dont have to much to choose from. "Hrimthursum" is a pretty hefty album by the Swedish blackened death metal band NECROPHOBIC. So why not pick a tune with them and stick out a little bit. So my choice ended with the single from the album "Blinded By Light, Enlightened By Darkness", check out the video below.

Other tunes that was played during this category was.

DIMMU BORGIR "The Serpentine Offering Live" - Chief Rebel (Really Powerful That Have It All)

Skogen - I Döden

Category Six: 

 (Death) 

 taken from the annual hard rock evening.

Death, sensitive category for me. Specially as my sister passed away just before Christmas. Try to focus on tunes that have the death meaning wasn't easy even it should be pretty easy to set as most of the rock bands have a tune about death of some kind. So I decided to go deep into the bleak and dark area of music and try to keep it patriotic. The band that crawled on my doorstep was the Swedish SKOGEN (Forest) and "I Döden"(In Death) is a gloomy journey through hollow stone lands that places it's listener on a pedal of northern darkness and death!

Other tunes that was played during this category was.

ZOMBIEKRIG "Evigt Liv" - Cheif Rebel 

(Great Choice from a Swedish Act) 

LIK "Le Morte Homme" - Holm

PARASITE INC "The Pulse of the Dead
" - Jens 

(Jens Suprice with a New Discovery, Cool tune) SKOGEN "I Döden" - Stones

Helloween - I'm Alive

Category Four: 

(Nostalgia) is up for today, taken from the annual hard rock evening.

This was a pretty tricky category, hey Nostalgia, could be actually anything good from the history bank of your own life cycle. So I needed to think through this for a while, it took some time to set it. After a spin thru the record collection I found "Renegade" with THIN LIZZY witch struck me that this was actually the first record I bought with the band, I think it was around 84' or 85 when I found it in a sales bin at the Domus up in northern Sweden. Somehow the cover hooked me, the red flag and the band name THIN LIZZY with the album title "Renegade", cool cover and when I played the album I got in love with the band totally. "Renegade" is perhaps their most underrated and misunderstood album. Just listen to my choice of tune "Angel Of Death" and you will understand.

This category had a pretty mixed up line up as you can see below what the other had picked for this.

CANDLEMASS "Dark Reflections" - Cheif Rebel (Great Choice)

(Missing songs from two participants).
