    i think steve (flame_still_burns) has said he knows those guys.

    i had dinner with the drummer... he has bands play at his house. one of my friends is part of the record label that put thier stuff out.

    they are pretty good...definitely sound like they could have been from boston in 1982.
    all there is- is in the knowing, that this never has to end.

    you could tell them that they were real good, eventhough we (the audience) didn´t really show it, and that i think it sucked that almost everybody had left before they played. their record (the cd) was also real nice, it´s really fun to hear some old-school live music that doesn´t sound anything like metal, as most other bands do.
    (the show was in trollhättan)

    i think the right translation is something like "trolls hat", "hättan" is an old word for hat or something you wear on your head. simply something like this.

    we also belive that the trolls and the polarbears, that run around in the streets, secretly are trying to firstly take over sweden and then try to take over the whole world bit by bit.

    no, but seriously i think that they really did when trollhättan was founded, just like there was stories about "tomtar" (gnomes i think) that lived in the barns and if something bad happened to you it was because you had upset the "tomte". there are accually a few stories about trolls that live in the forests all around i sweden, that probaly where thought to be true sometime around 1700.
