YK invades EU and India

Here's the review of my trip so far.

Berlin: People there are sketchy looking like they all want to rob you. They hate the Turks. The city itself is pretty cool with nice museums and old architecture. The east side of the city is totally run down like you see in old WWII movies. I guess communism didn't work so well for them. The weather was nice the entire time we were there despite everyone's warnings about cold and rain. It was a good trip.

Nuclear Gathering gig: Proclamation had the best set for sure followed closely by Blasphemophagher, Necros Christos and Grave Miasma. Grave Miasma changed their style a lot since their 7" under the name Goat Molestor. These days they sound more like Necros Christos mixed with old Demoncy and Incantation, hence death metal and not bestial black death. I met most of the people/labels I trade with like Luca from Iron Tyrant, Patrick from Iron Bonehead, the guy from Dead Congregation, R. Forster, Craig from Dissident Records, Daniel from Death Strike Records, Rainer from Metaleros, etc. It was a good gig.

Prague: The best part of the trip for me and you will know why in a second. We left Berlin on Wednesday afternoon around 3pm and got to Prague in the evening. We walked for like 45 minutes to our hotel because we were too lazy to figure out the train system. It wouldn't have taken so long except we kept on getting lost. I had a prearranged visit to GZ so I got picked up from the hotel by their taxi while Susana took the tour bus to the city. After about 30 minutes in the GZ mobile, I arrived in a shitty looking town with a big factory in the middle of it. I was escorted to main GZ compound and got to see the entire factory. The place looked like a factory from the 20s. I imagined little kids working there in the communist days. Most people working there were in the 50's or 60's and looked completely out of place and bored. The guy mastering guy was at least in his 70's (pictures coming soon). Ok here's the best part... They let me press a Blasphemy blood upon the altar LP on pink vinyl!! Pink vinyl limited to one copy bitches!! We later met up with Pavel Tusel from View Beyond Records and he took us around the city. It was a good trip.

Bangalore: Week and a half more. I feel like I'm coming down with a cold. I hope not.

Well, we didn't meet unfortunately. But I have seen you several times, but did not want to disturbe you (and me!) while watching the bands (I hate small talk during gigs). Afterwards I didn't see you at all.

I wanted to meet with Anastanis as well, but missed him in the mass. But I met Darragh from Invictus Prod. which was cool too ! And lot´s of old friends which is always a pleasure !

My fave bands that night where BLASPHEMOPHAGER and PROCLAMATION. Missed BESTIAL RAIDS, but I´m not that much into their recordings so....
SADOMATOR did nothing for me that night, those vocal effects where not my taste too. GRAVE MIASMA where good, but nothing special either. But they had one song with a memorable great riff ! NECROS CHRISTOS where OK too, but I prefered the faster bands that night !

Yeah I bought a bunch of Indian made metal tapes of classic albums last time I was there. There's actually a decent sized death metal scene here.

When I first read the headline "YK invades EU and India" I started thinking what the hell as YK is in Finnish language abbreviation for UN (=United Nations) Embarassed
