Back home

We’re back home now from seeing Opeth and Arch Enemy in Bergara. We had a chat with Mikael Akerfeldt on Thursday and with Michael Amott on Friday.
Both interviews will be broadcast during the show on Friday (Dec 16th). The gigs reviews and photos will be up on the site soon.

Both bands were excellent and it was great to see all the members after such a long time. We thank them all for looking after us so well.
