10 meaningful albums-challenge

I got this challenge ages ago from lovely Horros and finally I have the time and inspiration to do this. Here we go. 10 meaningful albums of my life.

1. Queen - A night at the opera

I can't describe how much I love Queen's music. It's full of expression, So powerful and yet so vulnerable. What kind of musician the whole world lost when Freddie died, R.I.P dear fella.


2. Nightwish - Wishmaster

This music was actually my first touch into the metal music. I remember when I got this album on my birthday and since that I played it over and over again. At the age of 10 :3 My teacher started to cry when I took this album to school, she was... well, a fanatic Christian.


3. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes

I remember listening this album when I was on 3rd class of high school. Not good time for me, I was really sick and so tired. This album gave me some strenght back then.


4. Diablo - Eternium

Diablo was actually my first step into the darker, harder metal. I was...16 years old when I first started to listen this kind of music. So it was not anymore hc-teenage angst, thank God :D It was mostly because of my boyfriend I got into the metal music but I am happy for it. This music has given me so much, friends, life, strength to be my own self.

 I could not find the full album, but here's one track from it!

5. Gorgoroth - Antichrist

This band was propably my first touch to black metal. I heard it and it had me. Still on that (left hand) path theehee! :D


6. Satyricon - Volcano

This band was with Gorgoroth first bm-bands I started to listen regularly. Satyricon is not so my thing anymore, but I remember my first bm-gig, it was Satyricon's and I loved it with my every cell!


7. Archgoat - Whore of Betlehem

Once I got known to bm, that was it. I knew it was SO my thing. It escalated with this album, even after all these years this album gets me excited! (not in THAT way you filthy-minded darklings)




8. God Seed - I begin

Gaahl.I am a hopeless fan girl, do I need to say anything more?


9. Burzum - Filosofem

I think that this album does not need any excuses. It's just brilliant in every possible way.


10. Spice Girls- Spiceworld.

I rest my case.


+BONUS:

 This takes me to the fantasy world in which I wish to live in.

Galactic wolf

I was all astonishment when I paid a visit to a local K-Mart (well, a Finnish version of it) and found a nicest shirt ever! You should never underestimate your chances to find lovely clothes from very unusual places.



My love for nature themed articles just grows stronger. I'd love to fill my life with trees, crows, wolves and just about everything that has something to do with nature. I guess it's because I used to live midst of it.

Hammer Open Air 2013

Hi fellas, long time no see! I've been and I sure as hell will be quite busy for next three weeks, since we are going to move to Oulu. Past 2 weeks I've travelled and spent some time at Turku, working and also having fun at my favourite festival.

Hammer Open Air was now arranged for the fourth time. Why is it my favourite? Well, it's nice and cozy, not too big (just about 1000 persons per day) and prices are very reasonable. And of course all the people make the occasion very special, I never meet all my friends and make new ones as often.

In this picture I am hanging with my dear friends Daemiana and Elzy. I already miss those lovely ladies <3

I had some melon-scented cleaning wipes with me, and they were a huge hit amongst all the metalheads :D


 Here's my outfit from Friday. The hoodie is bought from Etsy (surprise...) and it's crafted by the seller. I like it!

Second outfit and the top is seen on an older post (Lip Service). Combat boots are my the most trustworthy partner on festivals, I practically live in them for the whole summer!

What I actually listen part 1.

I thought that besides for you it would be nice to have some kind of diary about the music I listen. My taste of music varies and is almost circular, it depends really on my overall moods and also seasons. Summertime is just perfect for old Finnish rock classics and then again in winter I like to listen more depressing black metal and so on. But for now, here are some of my favourites ATM:




Depeche Mode - Nothing's impossible


God Seed - Alt liv

What can I say, Ghaal's new project took my heart <3


Behexen - Shining Death

I've sadly never been able to see Behexen on stage, but hopefully it's going to change. Anyhow, this is my favourite from their new album.


Happy Days - Take me away

One of my new findings


Slayer - Disciple

Can't wait to see them again at Jalometalli!


Sandra - In the heat of the night

Something shocking for the grande finale, I LOVE these sounds! 80's rock/pop <3

I'm not sure when I will post again, I'm off since Thursday since I am going to have some good time with my lovely friends. The event is of course Hammer Open Air, and if someone of you will be there also I would be more than happy if you honored me with a "hey" or something like that. But, until next time!

I'm with the band

Or at least wiht one of the members :D So, on Thursday we packed the car and headed to Lakselv, on the shore of Arctic Ocean. The event was the northernmost rock festival, Midnattsrocken. It was freezing, although I am from north too it was so windy and that's something I am not used to. Well, my part was easy but poor guys had to go on the stage and suffer from the cold :D

I took some pictures while guys were doing soundcheck. The gig is on the video, although it's not very good since I had nothing to place camera on and insted try to keep it steady by just hands.. hard work, have to tell you.


 The view was not bad at all, fell in Finland look like just piles of rock compared to the mountains in Norway.
 The main stage was causing some serious worry for the crew, because it was so windy that they thought Nightwish could not perform at all. I went to see the gig and they plaeyed some songs from Wishmaster, which is my number one from them! Embarressing part was that I had had WAY too many beers when I went to meet and greet them on backstage but as they play on several metal festivals maybe they just are used to wasted drunk fans :D

View from back of the stage. The size was just perfect, if you ask me. The band could easily fill the space and they had chance to move if the wanted to.

Umm, this is the reason we were quite tired the on the following morning. We asked hell lot of beverages to the backstage (which was a very cool tiipii!) and they actually provided everything...and a bit more. :D But we managed to get back home and all in all, it was a very good trip and the gig itself was really good, thanks for the wonderful audience that were nothing like the people in Finland, they actually dared to enjoy!

And the band? It's called Ravage Machinery and they are now recording their upcoming debute album. If you fancy death metal, you just might like what's coming up! But for now, here is their latest music video.
