 | While we're focusing on the upcoming EP we thought we'd make a show at Valand in Gothenburg! It's so nice getting out and perform live in a contrast to the life in a studio. So the 4th of May we'll play together with Mind Ghost, Evil's Eve and Myrkvedr! The theme for the night is once again "Mystic Metal Night". But this time we're not alone with the folkish and "medievalish" tunes because Myrkvedr will also bring metal from the medieval ages! Evils Eve 's theatrical appearance, humor and performance of pure Rock surely suits the event! Mind Ghost has recieved glorious reviews of their latest album "The Plastic Generation" and will blow you away! Here's a link to the Facebook event. Here's a link to the Poster (made by Björn our Drummer) An awesome night! We hope to see you there! :) |
 | It has begun! Our new EP is slowly unfolding! We traveled the 16th of mars to a Studio in Malmö/Sweden with 4 (!!) guitars and most of the drum set packed into one small car. After a few hours of dirty talk and a lot of bad stories we ended up in Malmö and started unloading the transport. First up we spend SOME time adjusting and tuning the guitar for the right sound.. that took a while! :) Finally done it was time for the actual recording of the chosen songs. Really awesome work by Daniel our guitar player. Unfortunately we couldn't play all night so we went to bed late and got up early to continue with the last guitars. Meanwhile I started setting up the drum set. I think we finally counted 13 microphones around the drum set hoping to get the most awesome sound we could get! Then we encountered some problems with the double pedal and also some "creaking noises" from the toms. But some duct tape solved that! :) Then it was time to record some drumming! it was warm and tiresome but I think the result's gonna be awesome! Finally we started to record some bass, but unfortunately our studio time ran out. But we'll finish the bass until the upcoming weekend to record the Bagpipe, Hurdy-Gurdy and Fiddle. Upcoming weekend will be 13-15th of april! Until then, STAY METAL! |
 | While preparing and focusing for the upcoming second studio recording we would like to present some of the new songs. On 29th of February, a date that only occurs every forth year, we'll now be playing at Sticky Fingers ground floor together with Amnesia, Neverlast and Striking Distance. It starts at 20:00, no band order is arranged yet! so be there in time :) Tickets: The easiest way to buy a ticket is to buy one here for 70:-. Otherwise its 100:- at the door. We all hope to see you there!!! |
 | We've updated almost everything on the website during this weekend. Design layout, pictures and more! Go ahead and check it out! We hope its for the better :) We have been rehearsing new material and planning for a while now for an upcoming recording. We will not go into too much detail yet, but within a few months we hope to get something really good! More news and updates about the upcoming recording will come soon! /Black Magic Fools |
 | Yesterday we were so nervous about the final outcome of the Sweden Rock Band Competition.. and finally the voting page closed down and we waited anxious over the outcome... Congratulations "Skyforger", "Deals Death" and "The Gloria Story" for having won the three spots to play at the festival! We fought hard all the way to the finals and came in 13th place among the 1500 band from the beginning. And we're of course stoked about even make it to the finals! Thats awesome!! :D We thank you all for the enormous support of the votes in the contest! We had never come this far without you! So thank you so much! |
 | Wow we can't believe it, we made it to the finals! And it's ALL THANKS TO YOU STOOD BY AND VOTED!

Here are all the lucky finalists in the competition: http://www.swedenrock.com/index.cfm?pg=574 So on Wednesday the 11th of January the last and final round of voting starts.

Despite the unsettled weather we manage to recieve good weather in Kungahälla and GREAT weather on Avenyn when we played outside directly under the sky! Unfortunatly we had to cancel the friday show in Brunnsparken, but then again we wouldn't be able to play because of the rain that came that day.. The online swedish metal magazine Swedenmetal.se visited us at Göteborgs Kulturkalas and filmed some songs that you can watch at their YouTube Channel! Also a great thanks to Ingemar for helping us with the show at Kungahälla due to the fact that Pontus had barely recovered from two weeks at the hospital. We've also uploaded some pictures from our show at Brewhouse at Göteborgs Kulturkalas, you can find them at the pictures section! We really enjoyed playing and hope to come back again for more! :) |
