29,30-12-2007, Helsinki (Finland)
\nBy: Nina Mende<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

The first Helldone festival in 2005 was a total success and only a few weeks into
\nthe New Year Tavastia’s office was besieged by emails and phone enquiries about
\nHelldone 2006. Same story continued during year 2007 too so now the good people
\nof Helldone, that mysterious lot, were proud to present to you Helldone, Vol.
\n3. And tradition continues. This years line-up was:<\/p>\n

Saturday 29.12.2007:<\/strong>
\n\u00a0 – The Black League
\n\u00a0 – Swallow The Sun <\/a>
\n\u00a0 – Mokoma <\/a>
\n\u00a0 – Von Hertzen Brothers <\/a>
\n\u00a0 – Snipe Drive
\n\u00a0 – Mannhai
\n\u00a0 – Barbe-Q-Barbies
\n\u00a0 – Kings Of Fools <\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday 30.12.2007:<\/strong>
\n\u00a0 – Fields Of The Nephilim <\/a>(UK)
\n\u00a0 – Ajattara
\n\u00a0 – Blake <\/a><\/p>\n

Monday 31.12.2007:<\/strong>
\n\u00a0 – Him <\/a>
\n\u00a0 – Skreppers <\/a>
\n\u00a0 – One Eye Shut <\/p>\n

\u00a0 Helldone takes place at Tavastia and Semifinal which are next to each other
\n\u00a0 and actually one building, you just need to go down a little hallway to get
\n\u00a0 from Tavastia to Semifinal. Besides Fields of the Nephilim, every band was from
\n\u00a0 Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nI was only there for the 29th and 30th, but I still had lots of fun even without\u00a0seeing HIM on New Years Eve. Because I was saying hello to some friends on the\u00a0other side of the town before Helldone I did not get there before the first\u00a0band started playing, that meant no queue to wait in for me, and since I\u00a0had\u00a0a photo pass I did not even have to worry for a good spot up front. But I was\u00a0still in time for the first band: Barbe-Q-Barbies. 5 girls from Helsinki, rocking\u00a0the house with their music.Since people don’t come to Helldone in the last minute like they ususally do\u00a0for concerts, it was quite crowded already, yet not really full either. But\u00a0 that was probably because it was only 9 pm and most people would mostly come\u00a0to see Swallow the Sun or the main act which was Von Hertzen Brothers. Anyways,\u00a0the ones who were there to see the band really enjoyed the show. It seems like\u00a0the band has quite a fanbase which was nice to see, because the girls were good\u00a0and I enjoyed their show. The singer has a powerful voice and they seemed very\u00a0happy on stage and enjoy what they are doing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
Since the bands were playing at two stages it was quite a running back and\u00a0forth between Semifinal and Tavastia, but that is just common for festivals.So the next band was on the Tavastia stage, and it was The Black League. They\u00a0looked a little bit like a typical band from Texas\/USA but they were from Helsinki\/Finland,\u00a0too. They play heavy rock’n’roll and it was nice watching them. The audience\u00a0was enjoying it as well, sang along and rocked.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\nAnd back again to Semifinal stage to see Kings of Fools, from guess where…\u00a0Helsinki\/Finland. They decided to do an acoustic rock show. Kings of Fools are\u00a0some funny folks, not only because they look like that but also because of the\u00a0way they are. Really nice to see people enjoying their lives and what they are\u00a0doing like that. That are probably these kind of people that always look on\u00a0the bright side of life. They even had their own “bar” on stage, which\u00a0was a table with beverages and a guy who was “serving” them and also\u00a0singing some backing vocals. Semifinal was totally crowded now and everybody\u00a0really enjoyed their performance, jumping and moving along, laughing and just\u00a0loving the show.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
Next on the Tavastia stage were Swallow the Sun from Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4. A\u00a0death\/doom-metal band, which was really nice to see. The guys are very active\u00a0on stage rocking. Their fans were already waiting for Swallow the Sun the whole\u00a0entire evening, and now they were really excited as the gig started. They were\u00a0banging, jumping, shouting and rocking along. The singer has a nice voice and it was funny to see all guys doing the windmill, especially because the singer\u00a0was wearing a hat and doesn’t have as long hair as the others. A nice show.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\nSemifinal again, on stage: Snipe Drive from Tuusula. Snipe Drive seemed to\u00a0be quite young, but I might be mistaken. They play nice rock music and the audience\u00a0seemed to be getting more and more although no more would be fitting in Semifinal.Everybody enjoyed the show a lot, they were cheering almost the whole entire time. Really nice to see.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\nAnd back to Tavastia stage because Mokoma was up next. Mokoma is a five piece metal band from Lappeenranta, Finland singing in Finnish. Their music derives\u00a0from late 80’s, early 90’s Thrash and Death Metal, but Mokoma also mixes a lot\u00a0of traditional Finnish melancholy in it’s music. Their fans were banging and\u00a0doing the windmill big time, shouting along and sreaming stuff in Finnish.\u00a0A great band and fun to see live.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\nLast time to go back to the Semifinal stage for tonight, this time for Mannhai\u00a0from Helsinki\/Finnland. Mannhai is a great rock band with a very impressive\u00a0singer. Everybody at Semifinal was already waiting for them, so they all were\u00a0rocking big time as the band finally entered stage. They rocked their minds\u00a0out and had a blast, band as well as audience. A really impressive performance,\u00a0not only because of the singers appearance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\nAnd there we went again, over to Tavastia for the last time to see Von Hertzen\u00a0Brothers. A great rock band from Finland. Their music is somewhat slow and melancholic,\u00a0 yet full of positive emotions coming straight from the heart. The audience was\u00a0totally enjoying their performance. Singing and dancing along to the music of\u00a0the brothers. They had a great light on stage and it was a gorgeous atmosphere.\u00a0I really enjoyed the long instrumentals Von Hertzen Brothers have in many songs.After about an hour later and encore the first night of Helldone and the wonderful\u00a0performance of Von Hertzen Brothers was over. Oh what a night.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
The second day would not be as long, only three bands were playing, it started\u00a0later and ended earlier. Eventhough there were only three bands playing it was\u00a0still both stages. The first band of the night, which was Ajattara, were playing\u00a0on the Tavastia stage. Ajattara is a band from Helsinki\/Finland who play metal\u00a0and sing in Finnish. They have a quite big fan base and many people were already\u00a0there to see them live. They were shouting and banging along a lot. The singer\u00a0was also the singer of Mannhai, who played the day before.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\nOver to Semifinal stage to see Blake. Many people were there already as well. It was really crowded. A great band, many people could sing along and cheered\u00a0really loud and really much for them. Nice to see.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
\nLast band of the night and back at the Tavastia stage, my highlight of the\u00a0 festival and maybe even of the year: Fields of the Nephilim. A band from the\u00a0UK. That band is a legend, no, a mystery itself. A band that hardly ever plays\u00a0live anywhere. So it was really amazing to see them live. They play really doomy\u00a0music and there is always so much fog on stage that you can hardly see anything\u00a0at all. So it was hard to take pictures or to see anything of the band at all.Their songs are all very long and dark melancholic, really great. The singer\u00a0is a very impressive appearance himself, and just added the final touch to this\u00a0horror-movie-like atmosphere. Amazing and I am just so glad that I got to see\u00a0it and that they were so great live. And I think everybody in the audience was. Fields of the Nephilim just has this Wow-effect, very amazing and impressive.\u00a0A great closing for the festival day and a perfect closing for my year and my\u00a0Helldone since I wouldn’t be there for the last day<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
