Abbath, a legend in black metal, thrown out of Immortal and now going strong with his solo material, which of course was meant for Immortal but now just bears his name.
I cannot explain how excited I was that Abbath would come to Athens! This is black metal rock 'n roll, this is Norwegian trve shit or something, haha!
When I arrived at Kyttaro, Order of the Ebon Hand were playing. A greek black metal band, also quite old actually, and not getting the attention they deserve. I saw them once more later, but let's go there another time.
Abbath arrived together with the creature on drums, the King ov Hell on bass and the session guitarist Ole Andre Farstad. The show was fantastic, they played Abbath songs, Immortal classics and also an I song.
After the show I stayed to write a text message. How lucky I was that actually then the band came out to be there for pictures and autographs. I rushed over to the King and talked a bit with him. I wanted him to take a pic with me an Ole Andre, but he didn't get it, haha :D Abbath was next to us, but I didn't squeeze in there, so he only appears on the side. I was happy enough in the company I was in, haha :D
Yes, I am quite the fangirl in this case and meeting those guys will forever stay with me.
"to me, black metal is not only the norwegian landscape. there is so much that can influence, create and shape black metal, from the scorching heat on a deserted plain on a windswept greek island, to an anonymous multi-storey building in which people merely exist and live in their own isolation, to the snow-capped trees in a vast Finnish wintry forest or inside an ancient ruined welsh castle, surrounded by seemingly endless green hills, echoing the wind like laments for times past. all this, all this can be black metal." -Daedin
