Sweden Rock Cruise -- Stockholm, Sweden -- October 9-10th, 2008

[Unholy Emperor]

Once again about 2800 people
got out on The Baltic Sea.

This time the cruiseship
Silja Galaxy was to be
devastated.
As far as I can remember:

Dismember:
Missed most of it according to early start and we needed
to eat. But they did play stuff like The Hills have eyes
Pieces and Under a Blood Red Sky
in the end when I showed up...
Anyone can fill this up?

Pretty Maids:
Not my band maybe anyone else can
fill in. Singer was not the best I´ve heard
I can tell. I´ve seen them once before at
Valle Hovin in Oslo 1987 supporting
Deep Purple.

Candlemass:
Mirror Mirror
Dark Are The Veils of Death
Samarithan
Emperor of The Void
Devil seed
At the Gallows End
A Sorcerers Pledge
//
Lucifer Rising
Solitude

(I might mixed up order or miss out on 1 song, tons of alcohol had been consumpted before Candlemass went on around midnight).

Day 2:

F.K.Ü.:
First time I heard them.
Horrorfilm moshmetal.
Quite decent actually.
Only title I got was:
Mosh Under Pressure

Demon:
Missed parts of their set
as toilet has to be visited
several times according to
suspicious foodpoisoning.
Some songs played (in no order):
Night of the Demon
The Unexpected Guest
The Plague
One Helluva night
Don´t break the circle
Sign of the madman
Have we been here before?
Hold on to the dream

Maybe someone can sort out songs.

The boat was also filled with djs from Swedish Rock Clubs and karaokemachines with metal songs, guitarherogames etc

These cruises are a few every year and are often arranged by Sweden Rock, Close-Up Magazine, Bandit Radio etc

24 hours of heavy rock, boozing and heavy fucking metal!

[EchoesOfDecimation]

I can't even imagine how awesome it must be to see a metal show on a cruise.

I was tempted to try and go to this, but couldn't pull it off in the end. Gutted as I really wanted to see Demon again.

I hope people do the decent thing and keep piling the votes on to get them at SRF09.

[hot_turkey_ed]

A metal cruise! Nice!

[Unholy Emperor]

Poor poor Ravenheart.

But you should try to get over here

Had a slight uploading pics at momment

a new tryout tonight.
