Day 41 Stockholm

Final show of the tour and a hometown show for me (and the Katatonia guys).  Nice venue, never been here before.  Not the best catering, kind of bland and uninteresting. But there was coffee, so I’m happy.  At soundcheck we…

Day 40 Karlstad

Nöjesfabriken is definitely one of the best venues on this tour. Big, spacious, clean. Lovely people working there. I missed breakfast, so my breakfast was lunch. Traditional Swedish Christmas food. Not my favorite, but it was very well-made.  Did some…

Day 39 Copenhagen

Good breakfast. Coffee and sandwiches (what else?!)  Tried using my Darkglass pedal as an audio interface today. I didn’t know I could do that. Worked like a charm. That means I don’t have to bring a separate audio interface on…

Day 38 Day Off

Day-off on the outskirts of Copenhagen. Nothing much to do – just the way I like it.  Had a coffee on the bus. Received some more songs to record, so I sorted those files and prepared the sessions so I…

Day 37 Antwerp

Ah, Trix. This venue used to be called Hof Ter Loo, which an old guitar tech, Kevin, said was an anagram for ”middle-of-fucking-nowhere”.  Good venue, though. Good breakfast. Had a couple of sandwiches and some coffee.  Recorded some more bass…

Day 35 Amsterdam

Had some time to record today, so that was nice. Then another listening session with a big Dutch magazine. He seemed to like the new album.  Buy-out today. Boring. Burger King. Boring.  Packed place today, almost sold-out. Tons of people at…

Day 34 Cologne

Another great venue. Breakfast was very nice. Had some coffee and watched ”På Spåret”.  We then had a listening session with a big German metal magazine.  One of our super-fans came by with gifts, which was amazing. Lussebullar. And I…

Day 33 Frankfurt

Couldn’t sleep this night either.  Batchkapp today, but this is a different venue than the one I remember. Turns out they moved to this location three years ago.  Fantastic breakfast. They had sausages, eggs, beans, the whole nine yards.  Did…

Day 32 Luxembourg

A certain tiredness has started to creep up on me, which isn’t very surprising. It’s the kind of tiredness that you can’t fix by just sleeping. You need deeper rest. Considering the amount of visual and aural impressions over the…
