  1. Amorphis - Black winter day.

     

    A brilliant mix of keyboards and old death metal.

    Finland had a good collection of death metal bands in the early nineties, though not nearly as big a scene as the American and Swedish, they still offered their very own sound.

    They immediately capture that old, cold nothern atmosphere with their dark, yet colorful melodic tunes.

    Recommended if you're into the scandinavian metal-scene.

     

     

  2. Good old scandinavian porridge! Served with butter, cinnamon and sugar.

    It always takes me back.

     

    But the last time I tried to make one myself, my pot had to undergo two straight weeks of constant washing and scraping.

  3. The scariest movie I've ever seen is IT. I love all of Stephen King's work, it's all beautifully crafted horror.

     

    Yes, Stephen King.

    He's the master of horror, isn't he?

    After watching "The Mangler", I swear my washing machine has been giving me the evil eye.

    Also my fridge gets grumpy when I buy salads.

    I guess I'm doomed to a life of frozen pizza and joy..

    Alas..

  4. The Thing

     

     

    Original black and or white or Carpenter's remake?

     

    My favourite is the 1982 remake by John Carpenter. Love his work.

    Especially if you add Kurt Russel.

     

    The alien in this film is terrifying. Very unearthly and scary.

    It takes the form of every living thing it touches or kills.

    But when it's true identity is revealed, it turn into a twisted hulking biological mass, just doing whatever it can to survive.

    There are some truly groundbreaking visual effects here, so if you like horror, this movie is definately a must see.

    It also proves that a soundtrack does not have to be very monumental and symphonic to set the mood.

    A few bass-lines is very effective here, and believe me, it DOES set the mood!

     

    The movie from 1951 is also brilliant.

    Some very good visuals here.

    The monster, however, has a more human-like form, making it a little less terrifying in my opinion.

    It focuses mainly on the planning and dialoges between the characters in the film, thus creating a suspensful atmosphere throughout the movie.

    I highly recommend this movie also.
