what a line up!
hope this is being recorded for posterity, release
the map alone looks like it is pointing to somewhere at the dead end of a long road at the end of some railway sidings, where you know nothing wholesome is going on.
Today! Gig starts at 20.15!
No johan oli kekkerit taas! Highlights for me were XE and Pogrom...Reptile Womb and Hal Hutchinson on Friday.
Manic and great Kontti action!
What a way to start the night with Sick Seed hailing recently dead culture obscurist Jouko Turkka. Rough and brooding noise with aggressive vocals soon changed to prog rock / kraut, first time ever I've seen people actually dance in Kontti. Also, a very strong show by PGRM with lights off and only a small flashlight & very oppressive jurnutus. XE was ultra Finnish, with lights on, samples of immigrants complaining about everything, and top notch F&V high pitch soundscape.
Zyklon SS invoked the Klan! Johnny Rebel intro with background videos of racially insensitive cartoons & Klan and skinhead rallies. Best vocal sound of the night, and a grueling rhythmic industrial set.
A very welcome festival in two venues! Hails to the organizers & artists!
