TOTAL METAL exhibition in Stockholm

TOTAL METAL artwork by Erik Danielsson

To all our Swedish readers and anyone visiting Stockholm in the next months: a very interesting exhibition has opened in February at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern: TOTAL METAL, curated by music journalist Ika Johannesson (co-author of the 2011 book "Blod, Eld, Död: en svensk metalhistoria" - "Blood Fire Death: The Swedish Metal Story", English version released in 2018).

The exhibition, similarly to the aforementioned book, explores and traces back the origins and the history of the fierce Swedish metal music, which is very rich specifically in extreme metal, as anyone reading this website surely knows very well.

Blood Fire Death: A Tribute To Quorthon And The Music Of Bathory - full show available

On August 3rd, 2024 Beyond the Gates festival hosted a special concert titled Blood Fire Death - A Tribute To Quorthon And The Music Of Bathory, where members of several bands, including WATAIN among others (members and ex members from Aura Noir, Bathory, Darvaza, Emperor, Enslaved, Gorgoroth, The True Mayhem, Primordial, Satyricon and Whoredom Rife) contributed in making a grandiose and spectacular celebration in memory of legendary Qorthon and his music.


A video of the full show has appeared on YouTube, which can be seen here below: a properly adorned stage, with a killer line-up of musicians, for a glorious tribute to certainly one of the greatest metal musicians ever!

Setlist appears to be as follows:

Erik Danielsson offers some hints about WATAIN's next plans and upcoming documentary

In a recent interview on The Art And Span Show Podcast published earlier today, among other topics more commonly discussed in several WATAIN interviews, Erik Danielsson also talked a bit more about  the band's -few but relevant- plans during next year, including announcing three last shows as part of the "Trident.Wolf.Eclipse" era, one of which is going to be the U.S. , in August; and also offered a few more hints at how their upcoming documentary movie is coming along. "It's looking pretty grim right now, in a good way", commented Erik about the movie. "It's kind of like 'A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica', but with a morbid touch to it."
"I want to do it because I want something to refer to when people want to have just an overall idea about what this band actually is. [...] And since WATAIN is also a very visual band, I like to take the visual element into it."
Erik also talked about the Watain Disciples Worldwide club, and how it manages to bring in its own context the similar, solemnly dedicated approach the band has towards its art and music; furthermore he discussed about touring different countries and playing to different audiences, and how the diversities and peculiarities of each WATAIN's album actually reflect the constant and dynamic progress throughout WATAIN's discography, as a result of creating music genuinely from the heart.

Gottfrid Åhman directs spellbinding video for "Aurora"

Musician Shaam Larein has shared a new, haunting video for her recently released song "Aurora", superbly directed, shot and edited by Gottfrid Åhman.
The video, finely crafted and reminiscent of early silent movies' oneiric atmospheres, has premiered earlier today on MetalForces Magazine, which also reports Shaam's comment about it. "[...]Gottfrid Åhman, friend and musician, and absolutely a beautiful artist, with his incredible vision created this video. Needless to say, everything fell into place, Gottfrid took me and Aurora to the bottom of the ultimate chaos that is my home”, says the singer about the spellbinding visuals.
