Ved Buens Ende

Holy crap!! So this is a band that has been around since the 90s and managed to only release one full album. They broke up, having played live only a couple of times. They reunited just to disperse again. Their recent reunion was accompanied by a handful of festival appearances. And then Greece!! How blessed are we!



I'm saying that because this band consists of the quite legendary Norwegian musicians vicotnik and Carl-Michael eide. So of course I had to go see them! Arriving at fuzz club I still caught a bit of the opener insect ark. Heavy, droning, repetitive sounds, something quite extraordinary!



Ved Buens Ende Hit the stage with a small delay and from the beginning it was a very intense experience. The clean singing of eide with the rough singing of vicotnik complemented each other perfectly. Musically it is avantgarde black metal, very creative and still dark. Brilliant!!



Vicotnik ended the night with informing us that there are no other encores because they actually have no more songs, haha!! Well, let's hope they think about creating new music for next time then!!

Listen, hear my demons dance,
after a view and a fallen star, they gather

edit: how even more lucky are we, that this concert was scheduled right before the corona virus ended all concerts and festivals. now let's hope for some summer festivals at least to take place..
