So this time John Mortimer changed the ending of The Nightcomers because of a conversation we had a while ago about their 1989 EP 'The Sound of Souls' and dedicated it to me. Yep.
The festival in general was awesome - Scottish metal really tends to get the short end of the stick, I don't know why. I enjoyed nearly all of the bands thoroughly, though because I was invited back to Holocaust's dressing room by the drummer's brother (before we realised that they'd already overrun curfew and wouldn't have time to hang out) the merch tables had already gone when I came back down. I wanted to buy quite a few things as well, so hopefully I'll get the chance again in the future.
I also met a load of really excellent Glaswegian metalheads and one of the organisers was kind enough to let me stay at his place when getting to my hostel was problematic. I feel that I have a link to the Glasgow metal scene now, which is great because I can't even find one anywhere else in Scotland.
My favourite bands of the festival were Headless Kross (extremely creative stonery doom; I loved them despite disliking stoner metal in general), Norderobring (catchy folk metal), Farseer (power metal) and Diementia (death metal). Check them out!

Awesome setlist, I really hope they play Smokin' Valves at Keep It True next week

Cheers! They probably will, their UK gigs up to now were 'warm-ups' for their oldschool Keep It True set.
Have fun there! Wish I could go, the lineup looks really great.
