Svartsot on film
25-08-2010
This friday just gone, Svartsot was visited in the rehearsal room by a film crew from German television. The band was filmed whilst performing the track På Odden af hans hedenske Sværd. This footage is intended to be used in a documentary on the conversion of the Vikings to Christianity, but it is unsure at this point if it will be included in the final cut. We will post more news as and when we have it.

Wacken 2010
09-08-2010
We are now returned from Wacken, and what a fest it has been. This was only Svartsot’s second outdoor performance ever at a festival. It was, without a doubt, the best concert we have ever played! It was definitely the largest audience we have ever had – the backstage crew estimated 5000 people at the start – and certainly one of the most enthusiastic crowds. To all those who attended, fought the crush, head-banged, cheered, tried to sing along in Danish, crowd surfed and braved the wall-of-death – Svartsot give our sincerest thanks, loudest hails, and violently slaughter our own drummer in praise of your mightiness! It was such a good gig, our drummer even suggested this course of action himself! I don’t think we’ve ever seen such a good crowd from a stage before, for any of us. To witness a wall-of-death from above was an honour and a pleasure and totally fucking brutal! You gave it everything, and so did we!
There a few minor hitches here and there. Some drunkenness did result in Thor announcing the wrong song at one point – apparently we played Drekar “twice”, and after the show Cliff destroyed himself so effectively that he missed entirely the numerous requests from the crew to pack his stuff in the van, and kept taking it out of the van again, every time James tried to put it in for him. Many thanks go out to the backstage crew, who ensured everything went smoothly, and that our beers were cold and plentiful!
We’ll be back! And we’ll be extra fucking brutal!
