Tuska milestones (pt 3)

0
Od on English, Nummirock, Reports, Tuska

The festival ended with a range of more than interesting gigs. Yet after another three nights in a row short in sleep and days crowded with information, music and meeting musicians and managers, I was simply too tired to attend everything I had planned. I am quite confident that Mastodon gave an impressive show without my attention. The weather had changed completely. It was warm, still windy and sun shone from a cloudless sky. It felt as if the sun was burning after the last days of rain and dark clouds. Good, old Udo Dirkschneider and his band shred the…

TUSKA milestones (pt 1)

Od on English, Reports, Tuska

Now that was a long festival day! We started roughly at noon and returned home only after sunrise, literally. Blasting gigs, passionate interviewees, meeting lots of cool folks on the venue and all this free of rain. It feels hard to make a cut what to write and what not. Ok, the inteviews. There was a lot of input and some really intense conversations on bridging genres in music, an in-depth introduction of a very tradional instrument, its current rise in the music scene and how it is technically further developed – speaking with Pekko Käppi! There was a relaxed…

Tuska – the freedom of choice is a freedom of noise!

Od on English, Reports, Tuska

When I listened to this line of Omnium Gatherum’s „Rejuvenate!“ it stuck in my memory and popped up again and again from time to time. Just like this morning while taking a sighing look on today’s Tuska schedule. ‚Bull…‘ I thought. ‚There’ll be hardly a break not to think of break long enough to take meal anytime inbetween …‘ So I wondered on which criteria I would decide whom to see and whom not to attend. Whom only to give a short glance taking some photos and sparing some as it is. My particular inner conflict tonight would be -…

Finally: approaching Helsinki the very day the Heatseeker at Tavastia will start the Tuska Open Air marathon and this on a sunny day!!! After all the rain and cold of the Nummirock weekend, you might imagine this add remarkably to my excitement! The line up is amazing and we have spoken of that plenty of times. So let’s focus on what is coming for my dear obscuro readers. And this is very exclusive stuff because I managed to make several appointments with musicians based in or near Helsinki yet not being in the line up. Still there is so much…

We know first: MuSick Attack Productions signed US thrash metal AGGRAVATOR

0
Od on English, News

Do you like furious, rude, dirty and pissed off old school thrash metal with elements of proto-death metal? Four guys called Aggravator from San Antonio (USA) will convince you quickly that this genre is not the past. The band proves its qualitites from the begginings in 2008 by its records (demo, EP and two full-length albums) just as by its live performances across America and Europe. The band signed to MuSick Attack Productions for two albums and if you can´t wait for the upcoming one, you can purchase their recent album „Sterile Existence“ in our e-shop. http://www.musickattack.com/en/aggravator/p-65/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jDIGnDkMXA

Tuska count down!

Only two more days left before the gates to one of the most traditional clubs, the Tavastia, in Helsinki open for the Tuska warm up event, the Pre Party. Here we will see Antony Parviainen and his energetic Band Psychework again. And no doubt they will fuel the Helsinki party people as much as they did just a few days ago at Nummirock. Speaking of those bands we will see once more, I am also happy to get a second chance for a Vorna gig. Perhpas just one week ago I had said, what a pitty they just play at…

Insomnium live at Nummirock

Nummirock 2017 – a first resumee

0
Od on English, Nummirock, Reports

The final gig of Nummirock 2017 was played by the amazing and fantastic Insomnium.  And what a gig they played. I met them at the check in and the first thing they or more precisely Niilo asked: „What the hell are you doing here?“ relating to me being German and thereby being theoretically able to sit at home in the sun enjoying a hot summer day. But would I want to have missed Nummirock 2017? No! Certainly not. And replying to Niilo I said: „Well enjoying the wonderful Finnish summer and of course the most amazing line up here!“ At…

Nummirock beginns

Moikka from the beautiful lake Nummijärvi, from sunny shores and flimmering heat …. Äh – no. Well, the lake is beautiful. And the sun is at least from time to time visible. And the flimmering heat, well … I haven’t found that yet. Also, travelling here was a bit of an adventure. First my luggage got lost and then also my company. While I found the first mentioned short after midnight at the airport, the other one was delivered by taxi around 2:30 am when I was finally asleep – yet not for long, as I had to pick her…

Od on Interview

Hello! The Pilsen metal band Beltaine is coming back after a long hiatus, however, many people may not remember you from the early years. Could you remind us how long have you been on the scene, what music do you play, which records have you made and which songs should people listen to? Hi! Beltaine were formed back in 1996. After two years of playing we did our first demo “First Scream…” and in 2003 we released the debut album “Bohemian Winter”. A year later a DVD “Lone Video” came out. We play doom-death metal intertwined with pagan melodies, combining…

Obscuro goes Tuska preview: Amorphis and Barren Earth

The line up of the Tuska festival is amazing. It is vast. It is huge. It is overwhelming. And even more, the party seems to find no end. Imagine, after a long, long festival day in Suvilahti the festival area will close at 1:00 am. But this is only closing time there! Literally! Because the parties, namely the After Show parties at Virgin Oil downtown Helsinki will have just begun to boil! Even before the festival will actually start, there is going to be a Pre Party at one of the most traditional clubs in Helsinki: the Tavastia! Door opening…
