Now let's talk about Tuska festival in Finland, the biggest metal festival of Scandinavia. As far as I remember I have been there the years 2003, 2005 and 2006 for sure, I remember the shows very clearly. I might have been 2004 as well, but looking at the acts I'm not 100% sure and to be honest those were alcohol filled years and I just cannot tell anymore, haha. I would have to check my notes on this, if I made any somewhere, as well as photographic evidence I might have in photo albums.
But for now this is not so important. In 2003, 2005 and 2006 there were some bands I went to see and was very excited for. In 2003 this was Type O Negative. I also of course saw Sentenced, Amorphis, Trio Niskalaukaus. I somehow remember the 69 eyes and Lordi, too. There was also Finntroll, Barathrum, Moonsorrow, Horna.. I cannot say anymore if I saw something of them, haha. At that point I was not keen on seeing black metal. Too bad, dammit! :P
In 2005 I was most excited about Lake of Tears. I also remember Sentenced and Apocalyptica. I guess we also checked Dimmu Borgir a little, but I have no recollection. xD
Now in 2006 the big acts I was going for were Anathema, Sisters of Mercy, Opeth, Amorphis, Swallow the Sun. I see now that I might have seen Venom or Impaled Nazarene. But once again I lack recollection if I did, haha. Would have loved to see all those bands now, actively, remembering it :P
Anyway, why am I telling all of this? Because there is one band that I did see in 2006 and that made a big impression on me and that was Celtic Frost. I remember staying far from the stage, but watching the show, and then this one awesome, doomy song comes on and I'm absolutely hooked. There are a few songs that could be it, but I'm not sure. But yea, that was remarkable and even though I was impressed, I did not check Celtic Frost more, I did not get into black metal. It was not the right time back then, I understand that now. But still, I sometimes want to bite my ass for it, hahaha :D
I am a dying god, coming into human flesh.
