White Heat, Red Hot!

So, here I am with a big cup of coffee and a brief update on my life since the last post. Sadly there hasn't been any solo recording done at all...

By the way, the picture to the right has nothing to do with this text. It's Thord going wild (of course you can't see it, it's a still picture, but I promise, he's wild here)... ;)

I have started a business, and I'm ready to test it's wings now, and will start at the first of july. It's a graphical design company, and I will mainly work with web pages and such. But will also do other graphical work, like CD-Covers, Posters, well, just about anything that has something to do with graphical design. If you want to know more about this please contact me for further information.

Within the band things are going in the right direction. Thord is still not well, but he's getting better, and I hope that we will be able to complete the studiowork for the upcoming album soon. We have been rehearsing some, and have started to play around with a few covers... We have also written a few new songs, but that's for the future to come.

Well, that's it for now... Will be back later...

Woooohaaa!

I have a few ideas on instrumental songs that I will record when I get the time to do so, after a few arrangements have been done for them. This time it will be more harmonies, and not as heavy as before. It will be somewhat more layed back, but it won't be without punch. I got these ideas when I was out driving around this evening, and it will be a fun hobby project that I can play around with on the side. And I think most of you will appreciate it as well when you hear the result...

Cheers!

Weeeee!!!

Life has been hectic a while now, and I have been very busy with other things, like starting up a business on the side, working at my father's company, and more of that normal day, boring, life crap... Anyway, now things are starting to look good again, at least on the drawing board... So you can expect more posts here again... Yay!

And on a side note, what is it with drummers? I have been thinking back, and tried to figure out if I have played with any drummer that hasn't done anything crazy, stupid or funny at gigs. I don't remember anyone... Well, the worst was probably the drummer we had in Condemned (no he's not stupid, but he didn't exactly have luck on his side). At one gig he even fell of stage... Yep, he fell right off the stage... Behind the drums there was this big drape, and he fell down there, ended up behind the drapes, and couldn't find his way back up on stage, so he had to run all the way around, and get up on stage again from the side... Me and the other members wondered where the heck the drummer was, and when we looked there was no one behind the drums. Then he came running from the side... Eh, oki... Well, the music didn't stop, and I guess the crowd thought that this was part of the show...

Oh well, drummers... :) And why do they always throw their sticks on me? Well, Mikael hasn't yet, but I'm sure he's just waiting for the right moment to hit me in the back with those things! ;)

Until the next time, cheers!

Now the fun start! Speed training. Start slow and speed up. The midi file below is at 180 bpm, and that's pretty fast, but that's the goal, get fat. Eh, fast.

Standard tuning...

Have fun...

Running Man

I have decided to start running, and I don't look like this when I run... But I wish I did... Today I head out two times, first with Berith this afternoon, and later this evening with Jenny.

I thought I'd die several times, but maybe someday I'll be able to loose the extra pounds and be able to run the whole way around that bloody track in the forest...

Tomorrow there will be more work, and later rehearsal with Gallows End. We are in the process of deciding what covers we should choose to play, and it's pretty exciting. I'm thinking of Iron Maiden's "Murders in the Rue Morgue", but I'm open for ideas? So don't be afraid to hand them out... :)

New Video

Oh well, I'll let the video speak for itself...

Work, work, work...

As they say in Warcraft... The season for my normal day job has just started, and I have been working two days now. I'm a bit soar, but not as much as I usually am when the season start... Today I'm free from work, but it's just for a day when they fix the truck. What I do? Well, I'm driving around in a big truck with lots of grave stones, that we're setting up on different cemeteries. I also do some other work with stones, but mostly grave stones.

Last night we had our first rehearsal at the new place... We haven't been rehearsing for some time now, and it showed, but we had fun, and we'll be back up there where we want to be in no time, hopefully... :) Thord managed several hours without coffee, yay... And I was almost going nuts without any coffee, but I don't think anyone noticed, hehe...

Oh, I had tuna sallad for lunch yesterday, and when we rehearsed I farted, it was one of the worst farts I have ever had. It smelled like something had crawled up and died in my arse. I was amazed that the other's managed to continue playing, and they didn't even look sick. I was ready to leave the room, and it was my fart... LOL (I guess you didn't want to read that, but what do you expect of a crazy guy?) Moohhahahahahaha...

Well, back to practice and my coffee... Will be back soon again with a new exercise, and some more babling... Oh, Datis wrote this as a comment to another post here: "Datis here. Why don't you tell us some crazy stories from all the years of playing with different bands, or for that matter with Gallows End?" Well, Datis, I will post such things also, I'm afraid that no one will believe the stories, but there will be more of that soon. I promise... :)
