Boris + Sunn

#48

Sunn + Boris "Altar" ( 2006 )

Bought this at the same time as the vinyl ( as usual in southern lord )

Havent seen Sunn live but Boris twice.

This album ( altar ) where this shirt design has been taken from is a great album. Check it out!

Boris

#47

Boris "smile" ( 2008 )

I bought this shirt 3 years ago, again from the southern lord webshop, maybe along the vinyl.

I saw this band live for the first time in 2007 in Texas, Austin. Amazing show! and again in turku 2008 0r 2009. We also played in Austin with Callisto.

I have to say that their records are not that solid, i mean, there are always some songs that are not that good as the others and i certainly dont like all their albums. But all in all really good band!

Hidria spacefolk

#46

Hidria spacefolk "logo" ( 2009 )

Went to "ilmiö" festival 2 years ago to Uittamo, Turku, Hidria was playing there, the show was ok, maybe the guys werent in their best.. but i bought the shirt from there.

Really good band, maybe little bit too under-rated ?

Goatsnake

#45

Goatsnake "lady" ( 2010 )

Bought this at the same time with the vinyl. ( southern lord package deal )

Really HEAVY doom band from states, the guys that are in this band play also in various other bands ( Sunno))), The obsessed, etc etc )

Neurosis part 2..

#44

Neurosis "Given to the rising" ( 2007 )

Bought this shirt when Neurosis played in Stockholm, the year might be also 2008, but i would say it was 2007. Awesome show!

Fu Manchu

#43

Fu Manchu "We must obey" ( 2008, 2009 )

I cant remember was it 2008 or 2009 when friend of mine bought this shirt for me when they played in Helsinki. I was supposed to go to this gig, but maybe i was lazy or something and didnt go.

I have to admit, i am not that big Fu Manchu fan, altought i like the band and the fuzzy guitar sound. If we are talking about "stoner/rock" or something, i`m more into Down, COC, Clutch etc.. Yawning man, Qotsa

Cult of luna part 2

#42

Cult of luna "beyond" ( 2004 )

I bought this shirt when we were touring with Cult of luna in 2004. Played 3 - 4 shows in Finland and one in Sweden?

I dont remember did i tell you this already but i saw Cult of luna first time live in Vaasa, Finland and the year was 2000. Their first show in Finland. The place was legendary Keltsu. I remember the show like yesterday, Johannes ears couldnt handle the volume level and he had to skip the show.. COL had only this split with switchblade out ( which i bought of course), i think they were recording the first album at the moment, because they mainly played songs from that album. I think Myopic was also playing there that night! What a great band also!

i was complitely blown away by that show, because i really didnt know what to expect! :)

i think we traveled to keltsu quite a many times over the years ( 1998 - 2001 ) i think, if i remember right, my old band played there one time..

It`s me god..

#41

Breach "its me god" ( 1997, 2000 )

I think this hoodie is printed in 1997 or 1998 because it is from the "its me god" album that came out in 1997. But not sure about the printing year..

i ordered it from Sweden in 2000 or 2001, sent money in an envelope, old school! :)

i saw Breach live in 2007, what an evening!

Breach is the reason why Callisto exist.

Saviour machine

#40

Saviour machine "Babylon" ( 2008 )

We ordered the same shirts with my friend, kipe. I i like to provoke little bit with the shirts.. this is one of those.. :)

I dont know.. you decide, i am not going to explain anything.

Nice band, have been listening this one since 90`s.

Brings comfort in my darkest hours..

Ulver.. again..

#39

For the sake of the "Turun kulttuuripääkaupungin avajaiset" which is happening today, i put another shirt for you. ( true reason is that there is piling up dirty shirts around our living room, so i have to catch up little )

Ulver "crying boy" ( 2010 )

I bought this one last year from their first show in Finland. ( plus loads of vinyl to me and my friends ) Nice show it was!

Witchcraft - Burn the witch!

#38

Witchcraft "Sinking lady" ( 2007 )

I think i bought this when Witchcraft played in Turku, i am quite sure that it was in 2007, might be 2008.

Maybe of the best new "retrorock/doom" bands out there. These kind of bands started to spread like cancer in the beginning of 2000, still are.. i dont know is it good or bad thing? most of the them are good ones, but 99% of them are making the same thing like the old classic bands, but i dont care, good music.

i think the "firewood" album is the best one from this band.

Reverend Bizarre

#37

Reverend bizarre "2006 tour shirt" ( 2006 )

I wasnt in that tour, but i intented their last show in Turku, was it 2007 or 2008 ?

Great Finnish doom band, we had the opportunity to share stage with them couple of times.

Nowdays we also share the same record label : Svart Records.

Trouble

#36

Trouble "Logo" ( 2006 )

I bought this shirt from Trouble`s own webshop in 2006.

Been fan of trouble long, long time.. Actually i found Trouble in the 90`s when i heard Tourniquet "live series" cd where they covered Trouble song "The tempter"

My wife bought me almost all Trouble vinyls from ebay ( with little help of Kim ) as a christmas present in 2005. Can you imagine how happy i was? :)

I dont know what makes Trouble so special, maybe the lyrics and music mainly ( what else there is in music! ) Great band!

Opeth

#35

Opeth "Logo" ( 2006 or 2007 )

I bought this shirt from some internet-shop, maybe 3 - 4 years ago. When i washed it, it got really small ( i use M -sizes ) and the silver colour faded as you see in the picture. Shame..

Been a big Opeth fan now like almost 10 years, my first album that i heard from Opeth was "Your arms..." i liked it immediately! i think it was in 2001, or early 2002. We found this band together with one of my best friends "opethsetä, holo,skepahessu,progetero" actually it might be tero who gave me a hint "kuunteleppa markus hyvvee mussiikkia" i`m not sure which way it was, but anyway.

I think i have been in Opeth shows maybe like 3 - 4 times ? first time was in 2005 at my "polttarit" but wont go to the details..

my top3 opeth albums

1. Blackwater Park

2. Damnation

3. Still Life

Deliverance, Ghost Reveries, Watershed, My Arms, your hearse albums are all good ones, but not as strong as my top3, but after all, this only my opinion!

i have to say that i really dont like the 2 first albums at all ( sorry, all the true fans )

Yob

Yob "Catharsis" ( 2007 )

I have the vinyl also from this album ( Catharsis ) it might be that i bought this shirt in 2006.. not sure.

Great Doom/Psychedelic band from Eugene, Oregon. The singer/guitarplayer had also another band called Middian for a while, but he return to make music under the of Yob again.

Great band, check it out!

Isis

Happy new year to all you!

Isis "Panopticon" ( 2006 )

We went to see Isis to Helsinki, Nosturi, i think it was 2006, it might be 2005. That shirt that i bought there was their panoptikon design ( it came out in 2004 )

Isis has been a big influence for Callisto, at least Oceanic ( 2002 ) Great band, but if you ask my opinion their downfall started in 2006 when they released the 2006 album "in the absence of truth" i like "Celestial", "Panoptikon" albums, but my favourite one is "Oceanic" obviously.

This is number #33 let`s see if we reach to 100! :)
