Possibly my third time in a studio and a more relaxed feeling but other ways a chaotic session by many reasons. Mostly because of our manipulative, compulsive and pathological liar SOB drummer at the time. The intro was recorded much later, joined to the song and used live. It sounds satanic in contrast to the lighter song. It never got the mix it needed in the studio.

Saturday Deliverance - Winds Of My Own Sanity

My second time in a real studio with the my band Saturday Deliverance. A song about suddenly discovered love recorded in Calle Kindboms studio. He is mainly known for his work for various artists in the Eurovision song contest.

Saturday Deliverance - Verge Of Pain

My band with the dubious name "Saturday Deliverance" lost its steam and we just pulled the brakes. After that a year of silence followed. The phone begun to ring and a few bands in need for a vocalist made their pledges but I said no. In a recordstore a old drummer I knew sold records and persisted for me to join his band . Garden Of Grief consisted of three quite unexperienced men, the drummer had tried out for us ages ago but didn´t make it. I made sure my old guitarist Magnus Thim joined the band as well and there we went.

The recording day was quite interesting one for me. I was to fetch my, then parent in laws from the airport a few hours away the same day so I was a bit stressed. I laid down the lyrics in about half an hour with the lead vocals, choruses and overdubs and after the ending "YEAH" I hang up the headphones and was on my way to the car...
"STOP WAIT, WHAT EFFECTS DO YOU WANT TO GO WITH YOUR VOCALS MAN?"  the tech shouted.
"JUST SOME REVERB, BYE" I answered and drove off.
Just this one recording was made then this project went to an halt as well. I remember we rehearsed Iron maiden & Queensryche songs but we never played live.

Garden Of Grief - Guardians Of Grief

HUH!? is the second of the Humming Beards sessions from -07.
 
Musik & Lyrics: Stefan "Stisse" Andersson.

Humming Beards - HUH!?

Oh my... My first ever demo!!! This goes back to... 1992 I think? Amongst other local artists we were offered with one song to participate on a cassettetape(yeah!) with an environmental theme (yeah?). The songs were supposed to be about how we basically only have one earth and how we treat it. I took the task very seriously and wrote about half a novels worth of lyrics to the damn thing. Covering almost every possible aspect. It´s over 7 min. long. 

Otherwise it is a "Queensrychesque" adventure and my absolutely first time in a recording studio and you can for sure hear it. 

Bear with me... Please :)
A third generation cassettecopy = even more crappy sound.

Saturday Deliverance - While The Earth Dies Screaming

Again a live-track from a gig in my hometown. Fever and a sore throat took it´s toll but it´s ok anyway I suppose.

OGH!? - I´ve Got The Six

Title track from the Humming beards first project. It´s about... coming home, a sort of home coming? It might be about cumming home... I´m not sure. 

I used more of a growly sort of voice here, hope you like it.

Music/Lyrics: Stefan "Stisse" Andersson.

Humming Beards - Coming Home

Another live song from Valhall. A pantie moistening wibe here. When I had my foot on a monitorbox a couple of girls rubbed my boots. They were nice n´dirty... The boots on the other hand were clean. 

OGH!? - Blue Jean Blues

Yeah. These tracks closed our live sets back in the day. The three ugly we used to call these and the idea was that if we played these fast and hard enough, people would get tired of us... It usually just fired them up more. I was ill and my voice was shot that night but it brings back memories thou.

OGH!? - Sin City, Whole Lotta Rosie, Jumping Jack Flash

Well despite the cover art, what can I say. 

Humming Beards - Black And Blues

My coverband HOGs last night. After this gig there were no more of this "cover-banding". A few years of silence and then the Humming beards project went on it´s way.

A lot of high pitch screaming here, I gave it all, being the last gig and all...

HOG - Are You Ready? & Ive Got The Six, Live at DownLand Music

Another couple of songs from HOGs last night at the DownLand Music Club. Great vibe...

HOG - Downpayment Blues & Overdose Live at the DownLand

Just a sketch, an idea of something. let´s see what happens...

Freefalling

Vocalist, lyric writer and a proud beard bearer from Sweden. Just sharing my old demos and porta-recordings. Ranging from my first band Saturday Deliverance, Guardians Of Grief, Nexus 6 to Dark Of Light, the coverbands HOG and OGH!? and finally Humming Beards. Crappy sound on some of them, second generation cassette copies. All leadvocals sung by me.  Enjoy!
