Woven hand!

Wovenhand "elk" shirt ( 2009 )

I think most of you people know how big Wovenhand fan i am :) i even have the tattoo of mosaic cover in my arm.

I think everything started with 16hp in 2002 or 2003, first i wasnt that big fan of Folklore album when my friend kimmo borrowed it to me ( actually the cd was one of the majabacka boys property, big hail to them!) But it didnt took long when i got my hands of wovenhand first album ( released 2002 ) i think it was 2003 or early 2004. So after that i have been collecting almost everything i could find from DEE and whole Denver Area bands.

i have been 3 times in wovenhand show, first time was 2007 in Stockholm, second 2009, also in Stockholm, third time in Tampere, Finland. Every time DEE tear the place down!

Very important band for me, musically and spiritually..

Oranssi Pazuzu

Oranssi Pazuzu "logo" ( 2010 )

Great new band from Finland, we are going to play with them soon with Callisto.

Mix of Pink Floyd and Burzum ? Sounds crazy but great band indeed!

Jesus was entombed..

but was risen on the third day

Entombed "The godfather" ( 2008 )

Best Death metal from Sweden ( maybe the best death metal band in the whole world )

I went to see Entombed 2 years ago to Turku and bought the shirt, actually i have liked Entombed quite a long time.. Callisto actually played with Entombed in 2003 in Tampere klubi.. oh boy, we were nervous..

Too much darkness, not enough light..

Anathema "Hindsight" ( 2009 )

I bought this one from the web, along with the cd "Hindsight"

Have been fan of anathema like 10 years or so.. i have to admit, as silly as it sounds, this is perfect music for the self-pity and moody moments..

i like anathema from the alternative4 album to the hindsight, not so big fan of the latest..

Cult Of luna

Cult of Luna "owl" ( 2009 )

I bought this shirt same time when i bought their latest vinyl "Eternal kingdom" nice shirt, but it`s too small for me little bit, or am i too fat ?

Cult of luna has a special place in my life, i think it was 2000 or 2001 when i saw them live in Vaasa, it blow my mind, in that point they had only Switchblade/Col split vinyl out.

in 2005 we played with them little tour in Finland, nice time indeed! I have one older shirt also from 2005..

Mastodon

Mastodon - "Crack the skye" ( 2009 )

Mastodon? What can i say :)

I bought this shirt from San Franscisco last year when i was travelling with my wife there. We were on the "roadtrip" all over the usa.

I saw add in the paper that Mastodon and The mars volta were going to play in a festival and we were "accidently" in a right town :) Festival in San Frisco in the hippie park ? how nice was that ? The shows of the both bands were great!

I bought also Mars volta shirt but friend of mine borrowed it and lost it! Not a nice thing..

Extol "undeceived" ( 2000, 2001 )

I think this shirt is from 2000, but i bought it from their show which i was attending in 2001, actually 2 shows ( Helsinki and next day in Oulu ) Great shows!

I started to listening Extol in 1998 when their debut album came out, been a huge fan since that.. Actually we shared the stage with Extol in 2002 with my band Callisto. Maybe i have seen them live 3 - 5 times ?

Sadly they are not active anymore.

Sabbath bloody Sabbath

Black Sabbath "vol4" ( 1972, 2007 )

Every man have to have Black Sabbath shirt? Right?

I bought this in 2007 or 2008.. better later than never.. yes i bought this also from some crappy internet webshop..

Liha on heikko..

Fleshpress "forest" ( 2004, 2005? )

Not sure which year i bought this one, i think it was 2004. Ordered this one from the band directly.

Nice shirt, i like the design a lot.

one of the first sludge bands coming out from finland? i think this band was formed in 1998 or something..

blog continues..s

Pink Floyd "Dark side of the moon" ( 1971, 2007 )

I bought this shirt from internet in 2007, i had to have Pink Floyd shirt and obviously i couldnt buy that shirt back in 70`s :)

Classic stuff.

I have to say Meddle, Animals, ummagumma and dark side are my favourite albums..
