Klink
Dillon
back at the arse end of the 20th century,
before even malignant rumours of the
band’s creation started to slither out
from the rancid bowels of hell, icelandic
mothers would set their offspring afright
with tales presaged by the oracle of
how, with each chord struck by the
almighty klink, an angel would lose its
wings.
upon erupting from those blazing
bowels klink immediately set fire to
every obstacle and all doubts in their
way as they ripped stages apart only
half as fast as they would.
klink, who in previous incarnations
have scored both killer reviews
from kerrang and a European tour
with legendary Floridian death metal
stalwarts Deicide, will resurface at
Dillon from their second, and hopefully
last, hiatus on Sat. oct. 10. at 10:30.
their era of dominance will be
ushered in by the mighty rEtrÖn
and celestine!, who by doing so will
pledge their allegiance to these legends
of icelandic fuck-core in their own
distorted way. be there, but be sure to
pack an umbrella to ward off the angelic
downpour from above. bb
She’s Cold as Ice…
Kaffi Zimsen 21:00
the queen of halloween puts it bluntly:
where else in iceland can you rock out
with your cock out to the likes of rob
Zombie on all hallows’ eve? the answer
is nowhere, except for kaffi Zimsen with
the royal goth herself.
halloween iceland has been
coming into its own in the last 11 years.
what started out as an intimate party
has ballooned into a full-fledged ruckus.
wait, did we mention rob Zombie? her
majesty is Djing this year’s party herself.
“we used to have Djs, but they get too
shit-faced.” we think this is a good sign.
Don’t bother showing up without
a costume—halloween iceland doesn’t
party with posers. mZ

guð blessi ísland, or ‘god bless
iceland’ is a documentary by director
helgi Felixson. the documentary is the
first (of hopefully many) forthcoming
docs that cover the icelandic economic
collapse last fall and its aftermath. the
film, features excellent footage of the
protests leading up the the resignation
of geir h. haarde's government last
February, and follows around a few of
the protestors; truck driver Sturla, and
his family, local witch (yeah, witch)
Eva hauksdóttir, and on the other side
police officer Þórir rúnar geirsson.
the movie also features
controversial interviews with former
bank owners and business tycoons jón
Ásgeir jóhannesson and björgólfur
thor, along with former head of glitnir
bank, bjarni Ármannsson. part of the
interview footage was shot without
the knowledge of the interviewees,
causing the abovementioned
controversy. the film mostly focuses
on the human factor of the collapse,
and although somewhat limited in it's
effort to do so, is a must see. jtS
icelanders are intimate with water: the
sea brought them here, fed them and
has kept them safe. but these days
those very same waters are in, forgive
us, ‘deep’ trouble, and it’s time to repay
the debt.
the Lost horse gallery’s recently
unveiled initiative, ASEA, aims to
organize a collection of artist who work
for, on, in, with, around, about, and on
top of the environment. Set to debut
during copenhagen’s klima Forum this
December, ASEA is busy establishing
its reputation and raising some dough.
to that effect, ASEA is screening
A Sea change, the first documentary
to address ocean acidification. Award-
winning director barbara Ettinger’s
beautifully shot feature-length film
follows a norwegian-American family
whose life is intertwined with the sea,
asking viewers to imagine a word
without fish. we tried. then we tried
harder. then we started crying. A day
without harðfiskur is a day we don’t get
out of bed. mZ
