Another @buriedrealm clip, ‘Spectral Light’, this time! I recorded this track some 5 years ago and now decided to revisit it. An interesting time-signature in the intro part, let me know if you can crack it from this drums-only clip! 🙃

I must admit it took me a few hours to nail this after a looong break of doing anything this fast (240bpm), phew!!

Every time you or somebody else diss the extreme drummers for groove or whatever it is you think they’re lacking, remember it requires a hefty amount of time and dedication just to maintain speed as a skill, let alone have progress and be able to do that on tour every night!☝🏻Hats off! I hope I never have to do this live! 😝

15 years of rest on ice did us good, and now it’s time to return to the stages. There were many places we didn’t get to play back then, and now is their time. We’re really excited to see where this road takes us.

We’re back. In 2027, we bring you our classic lineup, new music, and a return to the stage; starting with Wacken Open Air and Brutal Assault.

Stay tuned for more.

Man, even the pizza is way better in Sweden! My only complaint is that it wasn’t here in 30 minutes or less! 😜🤣

Terrible jokes aside, amazing new album from my friends @ciphersystemofficial. If you haven’t checked this out yet, go do so right now! 🇸🇪🤘

And thanks to @johaneskilson and @h.liljesand for the awesome merch! 💪😎

That’s it! If nothing surprisingly exciting happens, last night marks the last show for 2026 for me! Going forward a lot of cool and exciting things are lined up for the rest of the year for all the bands I work with. I also have two album sessions to finish until end of the year! The plans with @wearenorther reunion, @crownshiftofficial album #2 release and @finntroll_official 30 years anniversary celebrations, ensures that 2027 is bound to be one hell of a year! 😎🔥😁 A huge thank you to each and everyone of you for showing up to our shows! 🥳❣️
