The never ending Bathory tributes...

My fascination with Bathory never seems to end, so here I go again! Finally finished my 2nd tribute, this time mainly focusing on the "Blood, Fire, Death" record... Like all epic shit, got to have 3 parts... in other words, part 3 is just around the corner! ;)🤘

Bustin`out some tones on the Gibson Explorer...

... before I start modding it! Though it would be cool to make some kind of "review" of the guitar, while its still all stock. Going to get the ol` Het treatment, EMGs, Sperzels, Tonepros, etc, etc.... all blacked out. Probably going to make a video of the transformation too, as well as a new...

In conspiracy with Quorthon... a BATHORY tribute!

A year or so ago, I recorded this Bathory medley which was lots of fun. Thought that would be enough, but here I am wrapping up a whole album full of Bathory covers (with vocals). Probably going to release it on a proper CD too, as well as digital EP a bit later. Anyhoo, thought I`d share...

Retrowave turned into METAL...

So I got this fetish for retrowave/synthwave music, among the music genres I find most exciting these days. This style of music also translates very well into a more traditional heavy instrumented approach, which makes certain songs easy targets for a metal treatment... I was planning to go...

An AXE-FX in the northern sky... BLACK METAL content!

So I`m in full cover mode these days, and bands/artists on the meny are nothing but old school black/death metal bands. Never try to emulate their playing style or tone, just my fave guitar/bass/drum tone and hit record... Latest cover is of my fave norwegian black metal band, Darkthrone! Was...

Riding with the DeadCrusier, Kavinsky goes ME(n)TAL...

Pedal to the metal! Really liked his 2013 album, "Outrun". So much so, I ended up interpreting a bunch of his songs the only way I can... the heavy way! Working on eleborate music videos now, but managed to squeeze out this little "teaser" on Youtube... thought I`d share it with you folks! :cool:

Never a SINday without wicked Burzum...

... and accompanied church burnings! Got this spontaneous idea to do these covers of `ol Burzum tunes, since Varg Vikernes and the early Black Metal bands of Norway kinda were my first guitar inspirations. Say what you want about the man and his views, but fine riffs... he did make! ;)

Tribute to 80s TV series medley...

As I`m wrapping up the covers of my 3 fave 80 series, Airwolf, A-Team and Miami Vice, I thought it`d be cool to make a medley consisting of shorter songs to acknowledge other series as well. The medley will be put together when all the songs are finished, and get a proper music video treatment...

My take on Jan Hammer`s "Crockett`s Theme"...

My tribute To Super Mario Bros... Mario "Matalized" Medley!

My attempt at some "metalized" Pink Floyd...

... or maybe not, it`s pretty similar to the original version (in other words, no blastbeats, double bass, 10 strings, etc, etc...) The solo guitar has basically the same tone as the rhythm guitars, only added reverb and delay, and EQ`d it slightly different (more mids) It`s my trusted Mark...

My humble homage to Devin Townsend...

... ended up like this! Just got into the C-G-C-G-C-E tuning, suddenly HevyDevy`s music didn`t seem that much of a tonal labyrinth after all. One of my all time fave musicians, I felt compelled to jam some of his stuff while exposing my sorry self on Youtube ;)

A short tribute to Bathory...

Been tweaking looooots of tonez lately, thought this one ended up really well. It`s a Mark II/Diezel VH4 combo, really love those combo sounds. Anyways, as I was tweaking and recording, I ended up playing a short instrumental homage to Bathory. ;)
