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..

Kingston Wall- Live at Tavastia (Svart Records)
Kingston Wall is my favorite Finnish
band of all time. It was a short lived band but thanks to Jukka (the bass
player) and Svart, we have had a steady stream of cool music released the past
years. This is no exception. This is a 3LP in a strange cardboard sort of box
with a load of cool stuff in Finnish. Concert posters, flyers, post cards with
autographs (not originals as Petri is dead), and other stuff.The concert was the release party on Oct 1st, 1994 for the Trilogy album. What an amazing energy they had at
this show. I was a bit surprised that it was not a soundboard and was sourced
from an audience recording (almost sounds like a video camera with a stereo
microphone). The quality is a bit rough to start but gets better. I know Jukka
said he had DAT recordings of like 50 of their shows when I did an interview
with him. Anyway, this is a great document of the 3rd album tour and
the band are on fire. An awesome selection of tracks from all their albums. If you have the 5LP live box, nearly everything on this show is also in that box but sourced from different shows. Below you can check out a gig from the same tour..
