Live Shows

[Emplate]

I returned yesterday from Oration, held in Reykjavik, Iceland. I'm still quite speechless about the whole experience. I've experienced so many breathtaking things on so many different levels during the last couple of days it's ridiculous. In expense of sleep, we managed to do really a lot during the days. For example, we hiked to the Glymur waterfall and drove over 200 kilometers to the black shore. We also fitted a few art museums to the schedule. And every night we got to hear mind-blowing music performed live by some of the black metal's most vital bands. The Ruins of Beverast with its atmosphere, Zhrine and their elegance, Svartidauði's almost intimidating animalism and Sinmara in their strange catchiness and drum patterns were the most crushing acts, but I saw not even one mediocre performance, really. So, in addition to the new and totally overwhelming emotions of fear and respect towards nature, the artistic aspect of the trip was amazing. I'm still in awe, wouldn't change this to anything. Such an unique place, what a planet we have.
