Tonite is the nite for Mastino, the semi final is on. I have a strong feeling that they will go the finals so they can take this shit home. I mean, they really kick some serious ass. The drummer is raping the skins, the singer is howling for victory while the guitarist and the bassist rip it of with some great licks and riffs.
You can all see them live on youtube, click HERE

I’ll return with the results from the semi final in a couple of days, the vote counting can take a while.

Time for some seriousness, Mastino have been fighting for a spot in the Semi-final of Rockkarusellen. They’ve earned 19 of 20 points and by looking at that, you must agree with me that they are kick ass. The people have voted, yes, but how did it go at the “Dygnsrock”.

The “Dygnsrock” is a small “festival” where the bands of Rockkarusellen perform over 38 hours and this is the last time the jury and the people can vote for the bands. After that, they have 18 bands in the top, who will go to the Semi-final.

I think you understand right? Well, now Mastino must give it all to get to the big final.
I’ll report back about their progress!

As I’ve told you all I will be update you with some news from a local thrash metal band called Mastino:
Mastino have now play’d 3 shows for the Rockkarusellen competition, one of the biggest competitions for un-signed bands. After the first show they came on the 2nd place with 4 points, and on the second show they came at frist place, which means 5 points.
I attended their show yesterday and took some photos of all the bands, but concentrated much on Mastino, click HERE for the photos. They haven’t got the results from yesterday but I guess that they got 4-6 points.

I guess we’ll see them at the semi finals, hope so. They really kick some serious ass. visit their myspace on myspace.com/mastinometal

I’ve seen these guys 3 times now and they always amaze me. First time it was like: “Yeah, ok”, second time: “Better” and the third time (last friday): “Oh my god, the best”. How will it be the next time?
On just a short period of time they’ve gotten much better and they are on the run for it. I mean, they have recorded a rough demo (which you can listen to below) and thats enough to get things started.
They’ve also been announced for Rockkarusellen and hopefully be in the top 10
