Sometimes its good too loose a little control, just to see which way the current is actually trying to take you. After all, if the direction isn't one that pleases you, it shouldn't be impossible to regain what you had. Of course, the worst case scenario is that you can't and the the small current escalates into a waterfall and you end up somewhere lost, confused and happy. Or is that so bad... I'm getting confused here...

Melancholy sounds for the joyful mind

The sound of a beginning
I've had all sorts of blogs and on-line diaries over the years. I still write stuff in livejournal, but for the last half a year or so all new posts have been visible only for myself. I recently started Horas Lucidas, where I try to translate into words my interpretations of moments and other deeper thoughts. I am also planning to create another one when I start studying political economics in uni this autumn, where I intend to keep some kind of a learning diary.
The idea for this one came suddenly, when I realized I don't want to spam my Facebook wall with youtube links whenever I want to share a song or a band that's really getting to me at that moment (daily?). I also thought that this would be a good place to post simple daily ideas and thoughts, maybe even discuss gigs or festivals and of course promote my photography whenever I happen to capture something new (too seldom these days...). Naturally some of these I will also be posting in Facebook and Twitter, but here older entries will be more accessible as years pass.
Anyway, let's get straight to business...
Last weekend I attended Tuska open-air metal festival here in Helsinki. I bought the tickets primarily because there were a few bands performing that I really wanted to see, these being Electric Wizard, Church of Misery, Ghost and Jex Thoth. Most likely I will post some of their songs in the future. But now I would like to promote a group that I had never even heard of before and that truly got to me on Sunday, the final day of the festival, when I was tired, hungry and hungover: Kvelertak. This six member team from Norway produced such a grooving blend of punk rock and black metal that I was instantly energized and ready to face the final day of metal madness.
I haven't gotten my hands on any of their releases yet, but some surfing in the tubes of you produced a rather interesting music video of theirs. Hope you enjoy, I'm sure I did.
