I started tracking which songs are cut off by I don’t know where I put that text file, so I think I’ll just live with some half broken songs.

Makes the music sound normal and when you leave your ears aren’t bleeding. Especially when listening to metal.

First band, as my friend very appropriately put it, was viking drone metal. Deathmarch was just bleh… Boring. Almost invariable from the shitty Metallica interludes between band changes. From Hamilton. *Hamilton*! Very repetitive, very screamy, exactly what I hate about music.

The second band, 3, was better. MUCH better. 2 drummers, 2 guitarists and a bass. They brought 7 guitars in total out on stage. That’s a lot of guitars. And the music was amazing. I really need to look into these guys some more because they played a very nice show. One drummer stopped his symbols with his mouth. Repeatedly.

And Opeth… Beautiful beautiful Opeth. Mikael started off by saying “You’re all fucking retarded… so it looks like we’re in good company.” Best moment of the night. Seeing Opeth live is even better than listening to it right now. They are certainly a band that does live well. Really fucking well.

And now my calves hurt, from standing for about 9 hours. Totally worth it.
