Styggelse
Second time I saw these guys. Black Metal, kind of Venomish at times. They had pretty bad sound actually, so was a bit hard to get in to this time around. It was all right, dirty Black Metal. Didn't really stand out that much for me, all though some songs had a really nice groove to them.

Third time I see these guys. I was actually very curious this time around, because the first time I saw them they played a very atmospheric set and they pretended to be emotionless corpses on stage barely moving any more than necesarry to play their instruments... and the second time they did a completely opposite set, going all rock'n'roll playing Venom-covers and what not. So I had no idea what to expect this time really.
Turns out they went somewhere in the middle, with the set being atmospheric but still having more emotion than the first time - doing the headbanging and interacting with the crowd a bit more. I liked it! Especially as the venue made it hard to get the "right" atmosphere to go all out on that anyway (green spotlights isn't very Black Metal, is it?).
I think these guys actually has less than 10 gigs made all together so far, but they've really gathered quite a bit of a following all ready - which is nice to see! Because they really deserve it as well, as they do their thing really well.
Oh, and talking about crowd interaction... for the last song they wanted to insopire people to go meet Charon himself I guess, because they started handing out nooses to people so they could go hang themselves... Cute.
All in all, not a bad start for this year's concerts for me!
