KRILLE FEST 2007

Last night I was sitting at trusty ol' Kafé 44 here in Stockholm, waiting for the stench of the opening acts street punk to disappear (fuck you Lars Frederiksen, fuck you Joe Strummer) and give room for the Bay Areas Born/Dead and their anarchy violence, when I realized something. I was on my third cup of coffe and it hit me – there's a shit load of awesome bands that have a name that starts with the letter “W”. I must make a festival. I grabbed a pen, a piece of paper and quickly made a flyer.

Behold: Krille Fest 2007 - In the sign of W
W.A.S.P.
WORLD BURNS TO DEATH
WATAIN
WITCHCRAFT
WOLF
WITCH

The bonus is that all of these acts, with the exceptions of the blazing Wolf and the snaily Witch, have released excellent albums in 2007. And I mean fucking die hard killer on the loose shit. Most of you will probably question the presence of W.A.S.P. Blackie Lawless? 2007? Get out of here, you must be kidding. No, no, no and no – fuck you fools. I had the sheer pleasure of watching Blackie and his cohorts earlier this year on a boat together with 1500 drunk as shit metal heads. And yes, Blackie may have the body and the chins of a very, very, very old woman high on Botox and coke, but he still has the voice of a thousand souls crying in pain and some of the mightiest riffs known to mankind. I kid you not.
