T-shirt #67 - EVERGREY

 Evergrey has a special place in my heart as Tom lived at the same appartment building as us 20 years ago ... in a lovely Gothenburg "Landshödingehus"..

his daughter and my eldest son played in the sandbox and we talked about metal... 

Funny story: I found a big stack of Metal magizines thrown in the garbage and wondered who was that metal guy living here.... then I saw Tom with his log black hair and immediately started to talk music ...

every time I have the opportunity I go to ther gigs 
and the latest record is just AMAZING!

and The Beholder feat. James LaBrie is a gem!

T-shirt #63 - MIROIST

 

Miroist is a one-man metal project since 2011.

Miroist matches the intense grooves of instrumental djent and progressive metal
with the deep ambient washes of post-rock, post-metal and electronica.

His albums are self-recorded, produced and released, and proceeds go directly to the artist.

I have supported his project by buying the music and T-shirts
