Nordic Fest

Another GREAT year at Nordic Fest in Oslo, Norway!!
The 6th year of the festival, and the 3rd time that I'm attending.
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!

Hey man og takk for sist! Kult å lese bloggen din.
Kommer garantert til å sjekke denne ut videre.

Kristian (med det laange håret) er dog ikke bassist i Dalit. Ville bare nevne det.

Vi snakkes, og lykke til videre i US of A! :)
