THE DEAD SOUTH


So far there has been precisely one band with banjo that I was able to handle, 16 Horsepower. Despite not being one of the genres I am into, I love their Low Estate and Sackcloth 'n' Ashes. These sounds bring you to another world due to its charm, quite alien to Scandinavia.

Two acts are in the program today. Henry Wagons. Where to begin? Henry Wagons is an aussie doing vocals and acoustic guitar and this evening he is accompanied by a pal on keyboards who switches to guitar on a few songs and does clean vocals. And this is it - just two people. Like some vegetarian meals that lack substance, the absence of percussion is painfully obvious.. Like you get the garnish, but there is no meat you came for. Generally, it is a good musical combination with keys making it sound substantially better, but the groove is very far from being complete. Henry sounds like any (good) local pub band. The first song is two chords and complimenting keys. Our local Mr Orkester, Sebastian Uul, reaches a better groove while doing several instruments alone.

INFERNO FESTIVAL PRE-SHOW

 


The myths about the early history of Norwegian black metal are many. Countless documentaries, films,
and books have tried to find answers to what happened in Norway in the early ‘90s. Being able to visit the
places where these events took place, with someone who was there, makes it a personal journey.

Through his record store, Helvete, and his band, Mayhem, Øystein Aarseth, aka Euronymous, became a
key figure in the scene. He both inspired and promoted all the early bands in the Norwegian metal scene,
such as Emperor, Darkthrone, Immortal, Burzum, and others. He was later killed by Varg Vikernes, aka
Greven, the notorious leader of Burzum, in his apartment on August 10, 1993, after a year of turmoil in the
growing underground scene in Oslo and Bergen.

This date marked the end of an era. The small scene, which had been unknown to the public until then,
became infamous in the tabloid media and made headlines far beyond Norway.
