Finnish Metal Expo 2009

Last friday we played at the Finnish Metal Expo. As a first band of the day we were a bit nervous. Gig went fine however, and there was already quite a crowd of audience even though it was early.

Preparing for the gig:


Our technical crew:


Thanks to everybody at FME!

Red Neck, Jyväskylä

Last Friday we warmed up the stage for Dark the Suns at Red Neck. As usual, we started our journey early at Friday afternoon. Kari started early too:



As we went north, it started to get colder and colder and when we arrived to Jyväskylä, it was -20 degrees Celsius:





Here's our survival kit. There's some muumilimu, jallu, tape, snacks etc ... and a coloring book, which we got as a christmas present (along with jallu and other things) from Maria (thanks!):



Jussi took artistic liberty and enchanced the pictures in the coloring book:



For some reason (probably the beer), Kari wanted to be a baker:



However, Jussi had other plans for Kari:



We'll be playing with Dark the Suns again this Friday at Club Liberte, Helsinki. Be there! (Or Mikko will haunt you)

Recording new material...

On holidays Jussi and I recorded new Grendel songs. First one has kind of epic vibe in it so we decided to keep that name as a working title for the song. Second song has a working title named "Carcass". That should tell everything. We are also recording our own version from a old traditional song and checking where it takes us.
