Finding black metal in Norway
Black metal is serious business in Norway. Even though you may not be able to tell the difference between a metalhead wearing corpse paint and a Siberian Husky, it’s obvious that they do mean business.
Way Out West 2024
There’s something beautifully deranged about Way Out West. Equal parts eclectic music, eco manifesto and fashion runway for young people who haven’t seen dirt in years.
Way Out West 2022
Three years is a long time to go without a festival. The last Way Out West was back in 2019, a soggy affair with more rain than memorable bands, at least according to this increasingly grumpy attendee.
Way Out West 2019
Here we go again. Another August, another pilgrimage to Way Out West. By now the routine is almost ceremonial. First walk into Slottsskogen. Then question whether the lineup is getting weaker or I’m just getting older.
Henry Rollins travel show in Copenhagen
Henry Rollins doesn’t simply walk into a room, he detonates into it. His shows are more than just a performance. It’s a one-man blitzkrieg of thought and unfiltered rage wrapped in black cotton and inked skin.
Depeche Mode bar in Riga
There are several bars around the world dedicated to Depeche Mode. The Depeche Mode Baar in Tallinn is probably one of the better known, together with the bars in Saint Petersburg and Moscow.
Way Out West 2018
So here we are again at Way Out West. Every year I feel a little more like Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet Show, watching from the balcony, muttering at the youngsters while wondering when exactly the world stopped asking my opinion.

Way Out West 2017
After last year’s biblical mud bath, I boarded the tram expecting another weekend of damp boots, expensive food and the slow surrender of dignity. Gothenburg weather has a habit of treating Way Out West less like a music festival and more like a survival exercise.
Terminus festival in Calgary
There’s something beautifully perverse about flying halfway across the world to spend some days in a dark room full of black-clad strangers while the summer sun glares outside, confused and ignored. But that’s the magic of Terminus Festival.
