Electric Wizard - Loppen, 31/08/09

Monday night at Loppen isn’t usually the best day for neither bands nor bookers. Anyway, Nils of Doomed Denmark had taken the chance and booked mighty Electric Wizard – and the fanatics came for the dark sabbath. I guess there was a decent crowd of maybe 300 people ready to be slayed by the riffs.

First band this evening was Rise Above label mates Blood Ceremony. The band is most well described as a mix of 70s hard rock and heavy prog-rock with references to Pentagram as well as Jethro Tull and with a distinct female singer. The bands self titled LP has had lots of critical acclaim.

This night the band showed their muscles as a live band – and they did well. The interplay between guitar and flute was excellent and also Alia O'Brien’s singing and keyboard play lifted the band high up. What was maybe even more impressive was the massive sound on stage. The rhythm group gave the band a rock hard bottom feel and the complex rhythm shifts really came to their rights. All the songs from the record were more heavy and doomier and a lot of people in the crowd seemed pleasantly surprised. The band even played a couple of new songs that sounded very promising for a future release of a new record.

And then after maybe half an hour it was time for The Wizard! The front of the stage was packed and everybody seemed exited. Electric Wizard is the band when it comes to doom. They were not the first doom band and they may not have put out a superb record in quite some years – but they are without doubt the greatest and the most essential band of the genre. Maybe it’s simply because Electric Wizard’s main man Jus Oborn has the ability to combine simple riffing with almost genius choice of melody.

The band started out with “Witchcult Today” and to me the sound was a bit shitty at first!? Maybe the vocal was a bit too high in the mix and the guitars too low. Anyway, it all changed dramatically when the band continued and everything started to peak in a magnificent evil version of “Satanic Rites of Drugula”. The sound had reached the perfect the perfect mix of sludgy heaviness and hypnotic monotony dragging people into trance. The dark ceremony ended with a long epic version of the evergreen “Funeralopolis” hailed by the disciples. One hour of the most intriguing doom ever on an unholy monday night …

I made this flyer for Bongz and his Doomed Denmark show at Loppen. He posted it at the Forever Doomed forum where other posters are presented. Maybe it's gonna be the place to see them all ...

3 new flyers for Doomed Denmark



Here's three new flyers for Doomed Denmark and how shitty Paint works. Had to clip them together in Paint cause I haven't got PS installed on this new PC yet. Anyway, this is some cool bookings once again from the heavy hands of Bongz.

Causa Sui at the Movies



Denmarks - without doubt - best psyche/kraut-rock band will be featured on film by Beofilm. The hour long movie will be a collage and story about the band and glimts of live performance, studio recordings and just the usual, usual "being in a band" stuff. Gonna be interesting, especially if theres some cool footage from the Duna Jam concerts.

And just to stay with these guys ... They played a great opening set for Witchcraft this last saturday at Loppen arranged by Doomed Denmark (who else?!). Really groovy psyched free jazz. Off course Witchcraft were the main act, and that concert was indeed mindblowing. Yes, I was stoned because of Don K's pot from Jutland, but the riffing was excellent and the pretty-boy vocal melted my soul.

There's a lot of cool pictures at Jacob Dinesens website - right here >> and here >>

Eric C. Harrison - Artist of Grief



I'm making a flyer for the Grief concert at Loppen later this year booked by mighty Nils of Doomed Denmark. But it's rather difficult because Eric C. Harrison is such a great artist and Nils want's me to use some of his drawings. I have just finished one - and its pure cut and paste with some letters. Anyway, therefore I wanna make you aware of this great artist - and also the band!

BOHREN and der Club of Gore

Yet another gig by Doomed Denmark. It went down november 2nd at Loppen and turned into another great night. Opener was Danish drone/noise band Chasing Eudaimonia and that was quite all right but not fantastic. Then all lights went out and Bohren entered the stage with only four 25 watt lightbulbs - one in front of each musician - and almost complete darkness! Completely contrary to the concert with Life on Earth. Anyway, the music was great and after a short while almost everybody in front of the stage sat down and just enjoyed the jazzy doom. Hard to describe the music but it was nice to chill out to. I bought the Black Earth album but haven't had time to give it a close listen, but I know it's gonna be very nice.

DOOMED DENMARK strikes again

My good friend Nils aka Bongz is running his own little booking business. Not that he in any way tries to make a living or even profit from this, he just do it for fun and to get some cool bands to play in Copenhagen. I on the other hand likes to make grafics in Photoshop and therefore I make his flyers and posters for the gigs. I'm really not very good at this, but I try to do my best and hopefully some of the stuff looks okay - even for a professional grafic artist. On friday Bongz' next arrangement is gonna be Asteroid (S), Graveyard (S) and Sedated Angel (DK). This is a really cool lineup and especially Sedated Angel is gonna be interesting. It's their fist time to do Copenhagen. The venue is called Dragens Hule (Dragons Cave) and is a very small place but with the most psychedelic atmosphere you can imagine. You can drink, smoke cigarettes and marihuanna and do as you like as long as you don't act like a fucker. No need to say, that this is not an official venue - it's actually not official in any way!
