This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..

Death Hawks- BETA, Copenhagen, DK 1/23/14
Sue had arrived from London this
afternoon and I really wanted to go see this new Finnish band that my friend
Santtu had recommended. I had not yet received their new record but had seen a
couple of videos (Black Acid) on you tube and liked what I saw. Anyway, we
arrived about 10 and completely missed the opening band, which my friend Ole,
said was very average and nothing special at all. Met up with Anders, Nanna,
Rhona, and Jens. The band hit the stage like 22:10 and played about 45mins or
so. I don’t know how to describe them, a bit like Wolf People maybe. It is a
bit bluesy, but with a lot of space rock like synths giving it a special
psychedelic flavour. The keyboard player also played short saxophone pieces in a few tracks. The singer and guitar player (also in the band Seremonia)
has a great voice but plays very little lead guitar, which I really missed on
the longer tracks. They played a really killer long slide guitar track (Holy
Water). They ended the set with Black Acid. The audience really wanted more so
finally after like 5mins, the singer came out and played the old blues song,
Death don’t have no Mercy by himself and that was it. I spoke to the band to
get the set list and they were really cool guys. I filmed the last three songs of the show so check them out and enjoy!
Set List: Night Children, Death
has not Reprieve, Cain go Home, Shinning, Quiet Sun, Holy Water, Black Acid,
Death don’t have no Mercy
