Ive been playing music for a good 20 years, mainly electric guitar but can also handle the bass and drums to some extent, and sing i bit too.
Right now im in a band called Himlavalvet (roughly translated to Heavens vault or the Vault of heaven). We try at least to play some sort of fusion of Stoner rock/metal, Doom, Heavy Rock and Sludge metal. I play the guitar and do a bit of singing, mainly vocal harmonies.
We sing in swedish and our debut album which we will record this autumn will be a concept album with stories and lyrics about Sami shamanism, cosmology and mysticism. The samis were the native people of Northern Sweden and Finland.
Weve been playing together for about 2 years and did our debut gig this summer to try to the songs before heading into the studio.
The song in the video is called "Nåjdens sång", and is about the Sami myth that the Nåjd (the shaman") could sing a song to protect a cosmic elk/moose that they saw in constellations from the Hunters in the sky.
Watch from 1:50 if you want to skip a long intro
My Gear
I am playing Gibson guitars mainly, although I do come across a good Epiphone once in a while, but I usually trade it away for pedals and such.
My main guitar is a 2011 Gibson SG Standard (which can be seen in the video), but I also have a 2002 Flying V and a 2012 Les Paul Custom.
I play on a Marshall DSL100, with lots of pedals, mainly Reaper and Boss.
Would be great to see other musicians in the unit!
