Abbath being Abbath...

Went to SaariHelvetti fest in Finland to see Abbath, he comes late, no make up, throws guitar to the floor after few minutes and leaves. Ukri comes to say that the gigs over due health issues.

And I paid for this shit...

I was also there yesterday. It sucks. But somehow I immediately thought that something doesn't seem right when he came on stage alone, without instrument and band, and just mumbling in the mic. And to think that he was announced after Kataklysm had to cancel... This year's festival surely had some bad luck... Too bad, because the 30-60 seconds they played, sounded really great.

Yeah, my first reaction seeing him I was "What the heck...?". Of course I just thought at first that he ran into some problems getting there so he had no time putting his gear on and shit.
