At the moment my biggest project is the Intense Extreme Radio..!
"Jeg skal være storebror" = "I'm going to be a big brother"
I didn't think it would be that hard on me not playing in a band and doing gigs, but it really is. When I think about it, I've been playing in bands and doing concerts since I was 15.
Spend the day together with some cool friends outside of Nashville.
Bryndan is taking very good care of me => he's a great entertainer!
I've moved back in with the little family (Jamie, Tricia and Bryndan) and they are just the best. My little American family!
Aaaand we went to have Chinese food! My favorite restaurant in Nashville :)
I met tons of cool people at Nordic Fest as usually. It's so cool with all the fellowship at these festivals, and I believe we can have even more intense fellowship at the Christian metal fest's. That's one of the things that's on my heart these festivals. This fellowship is very special. I whole lot of these people is traveling around on the underground Christian metal festivals in Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, England, USA and so on. ...Like I do :)
Above: Upper left corner is Adam from England, some great Danes and Daniel from BobFest, Sweden.
...And Jokull/Ravn/Raven from Frosthardr playing with a new member of the nordic metal family.
An awesome weekend at Nordic Fest. Hanging out, enjoying the good spirit and fellowship, working as crew and making 20 interviews for the Intense Extreme Radio, which will be up at the 1st of January 2008! Positive, Extreme and Brutal Metal 24/7!!
Merchandise and hangout was at the SubCafé in one of the other underground atmospheric rooms at SubChurch.
Accommodation is at the Holy Riders Cave. A huge metal gate into a stone mountain outside of Oslo City. The MC Club, Holy Riders, is now using the cave. But if a war breaks out the cave will be used as shelter for the citizens of Oslo. This is an awesome place.

Pastor Bob's seminars are always great and extremely useful for a daily relationship with God. Make sure to meet him at one of the festivals if you haven't or listen to his Broadcast at sanctuaryinternational.com
Again there was a lot of awesome bands playing. One of them was Mortification from Australia. Steve Rowe (on the picture below) is a living legend and miracle. Doctors has proclaimed his death a couple of times (cancer + more) and he's still doing concerts! Steve Rowe has done an amazing job for extreme metal for more than 30 years. He did some cool testimonies from the stage and proclaimed that he wouldn't stop doing concerts before he fell dead on stage. Though he didn't move around and had a cup of tea beside him on a table all the time, it was awesome to meet him. I welcomed Mortification when they arrived and they are such cool guys.
My American friends from Once Dead played as well. I saw them at Cornerstone California two month ago, but here at Nordic Fest they really had the right crowd. Once Dead has got members from Vengeance/Vengeance Rising, The Crucified and Fasedown. Ooool sKuuuul thrash!
The bass player from Dalit => longest hair + longest beard at the festival! Very cool doom metal:
Pål Dæhlen (Frosthardr drummer) is the Nordic Fest main organizer and the man behind Nordic Mission. Nordic Mission metal distribution had its 10 years anniversary at Nordic Fest this year!
On the picture above I'm standing with Cameal and Melany, whom I had a great time with. I've met Cameal several times before at BobFest, NordicFest, DestructionFest and EndtimeFest. He's a cool guy and his parents opened their house for me to stay. They've got a very comfortable couch. Pastor Bob married Cameal and Melany about half a year ago and it's cool to see them together! Great finally to meet and hang out with Melany who's actually from the States. Her brother Jason is living in Nashville and I know him very well. Melany and Jason played in the American metalcore band LoPhat.
Some very cool people from the Glorious Undead Church .
A cool couple from Czech.
Great metalhead from Brazil.
I was honored to get the guest room where John PROUDLY showed me his train landscape that he's working on, which was half of the room :) . Very cool. This picture shows 1/4 of the landscape.
Margery and I had a good talk about death metal, black metal, doom metal and goth metal. I couldn't think of a better place to stay!
Jasmines parents were on the Meltdown crew.
Jeff did a cool "little" gimmick about six month ago, where he broke the Guinness Record of "Most guitar players playing together". He gathered almost 1900 guitar players and lead them in "Smoke on the water" :P
Everything is within this cool castle. Lots of small corridors to get to the rooms. One room for eating together, one room for café and on room for rock worship and seminars by Pastor Bob and Jeff Scheetz.
Every time I've been to a festival or just meeting great people, I always wonder why I nearly didn't take any pictures of the folks I got to know. I met a whole lot of cool people at Meltdown. One of them is Doogle from Scotland: 
The concert"hall" before we build the stage:
And in action:
My top 3 concerts of the weekend:
Decon and Becki Ryan travel around doing worship concerts with a deep vision of bringing the Church back to love. Here you can listen to their music: www.myspace.com/beckiryan
David, Jonas, Levi, Simone
We're having the Metal Festival same place as last time, but in a different way. One change is, that we're moving the stage to this room, that you see above. It will change into a CRAZY scenery with a thick underground metal environment. It's gonna be an AWESOME festival with lots of fellowship, metal music and seminars by Pastor Bob!
Early morning..?
Recording the last ideas before going to the studio a last time.
The building was a ware house before we bought it. When it was just purchased I helped putting up an underground music/art event called Silverspeak Ground. It was VERY underground, dark, cold and dusty. Metal music, electronica, post rock, spoken words and all kinds of art as paintings, photos, poems cartoons + more. This church really understands how to help people walking in the specific vision that God has giving them.
Morten/Mrtn (x-classmate from Social worker/deacon education) 
Brian/Bimmern (from Barricades)
Lars/Gammellars (from Barricades)
Jonas/High Tower (my cool nephew)
Mathias is working with Christian metal ministry in Germany, so we've got a few things in common. His main event is the "Hard Rock Halleluja" metal concerts in North Germany.
My parents moved here to Fjellerup when I was just born. I lived here the first 10 years of my life. Then my family and I moved to Nepal in Asia for 3 years, which was the very best years of my childhood. Now my parents are living in the same house and it's always a blessing to come home and relax :)
I haven't had any homesickness but I especially longed to hang out with my nephew Jonas! We're buddies!
