Henric de la Cour & Bluesky

Exactly three weeks ago, on 31st January 2025, Henric de la Cour released his fourth studio album "My Bones, Your Ashes", and I wrote an album review of it. 

 

And in honour of the occasion, here is an older video from my YouTube channel, showing Henric de la Cour performing at "Dalhalla" in Rättvik / Sweden on 24th July 2019...

 

 

Furthermore, I joined Bluesky at the beginning of January 2025, so feel free to follow me on Bluesky. I am still active on X / twitter, currently sharing all the links to my work on both platforms. Time will tell how these two platforms develop, and especially whether Bluesky will establish itself as a social media platform in the long run.

 

 

Happy New Year 2025!

Happy New Year 2025, everyone! ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Unlike in previous years, there was a bit more going on here on the blog, although not nearly as much as on my account on X (formerly known as twitter) where I share all the links to my work. In other words: If you want to know what I'm up to (or simply want to stay up to date in the world of rock, metal, goth and punk), feel free to follow me on X / twitter. 

Like last year, there was a concert a few days before Christmas, the sixth and last one for 2024, and it was again a concert with Priest, so we were basically celebrating the first anniversary since we discovered the band. Further parallels: The concert took place in Sweden's capital Stockholm, there were three bands performing that night, and Priest were the second act on stage (aux animaux was the first act of the evening, and Combichrist were the headliner).

You can read everything about the show at "Kollektivet Livet" on 19th December 2024 in the corresponding live review and also check out the photo gallery. And here are some audiovisual impressions of Combichrist, Priest and aux animaux... 

The wish is, as always, that there will be more concerts in the new year, and I think that 2024 was a good start. At the same time, there would have been more opportunities to attend live events in 2024, but even before the year 2024 had reached its end, I realised that, in most cases, it was a good thing that most of those opportunities were not used / could not be used. For very different reasons. On that note: May the choice of live events in 2025 be as wise as it was in 2024. ;o)
