ASTERIUM IN FIGUERAS

EDINBURGH

I usually travel with my girlfriend, Monica, at the end of summer since 2 years ago. Last year we went across Europe on an interrail, and we visited Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Prague, Vienna and Venecia.

This year, at the end of summer we went to Edinburgh, Scotland, and we went to the Loch Ness. We choose this country because is a green land, with beautiful landscapes: mountains, lochs, forests, etc.
We went for five days, and we stayed on a floor, at the center of Edinburgh, near the Old Town. Monica and me visited Old and New town of Edinburgh walking for every street. At night we usually went to scotish pubs, to drink some pints and scotish whisky. I love the scotish culture and I bought a traditional kilt of the Mackenzi's family.

On the last day we went to the north, visiting lochs and watching beautiful landscapes, ending at the loch ness.

WACKEN OPEN AIR 2011

Last year I said that I wanted to go to Wacken Open Air.

In Germany, 20 years ago a metal festival began where there were only little bands. Today, it is the best metal festival in the world. Every metalhead wants to go to Germany to see his favorite bands in this festival. You can see diferents kinds of metal, power metal, death metal, vicking metal, thrash metal.... But Wacken is not only music, it's a metal world in 3 days. In the field, you can find a street market, pubs and restaurants.

I have been in Wacken last summer with Valkyria Tour. We started the journey in Gerona, and after a day in a bus, we arrived to Amsterdam. In this city we stayed a day, was a day of party, drink and drugs. Next day we arrived to Wacken, at 6:00 a.m. I was in hangover, but we continued the party at the bars of Wacken, in special a bar called Metal Place.

The three next days I saw a lot of concerts of Extreme Metal bands like Kataklysm, Ensiferum or Kreator and I drank a lot of beer. In my opinion, the best concert of Wacken was of Kreator. They played with power and brutality.

Wacken Open Air is one of my best experience, and this year I will return.

AMON AMARTH'S CONCERT

I've been in a lot of concerts, and the last was a concert of Amon Amarth in Razzmatazz, barcelona, and is the best concert that I have seen. Amon Amarth is a Viking Metal band from Sweden, they are in tour around the world and is the first time that I see them in concert. They are my favorite band.

Septic Flesh played in this concert supporting Amon Amarth. This band is a Symphonic death Metal band from Greece, and they played very well.

They started with a track of their new album Sutur Rising, War Of the Gods, a melodic and brutal song. After that, without stop, they continued with Runes To My Memory, one of my favorite songs. The swedish band played great songs like Twilight of the Thunder God, Death in Fire or Varyags Miklagaard..

PROBLEMS WITH THE SYSTEM!

Majority of people can see that the world is in problems and the system have to change, but anyone knows how, and what is the system that could be good or operate.

In my opinion, for our time, capitalism and democracy is the best kind of system, and a lot of people knows that, and they can't know how to change to a better world. Some of theme think about an anarchist system, but can't operate, because people can't do what they want; another kind of people think about comunism, but we can see that is unjust; ... What's the best system? I think that the great problem has been the human evolution. Humans wants to live in society, and if they live with other people, they need some kind of government, and here start problems. We haven't got the ability to govern, and humans think that we can govern upon the other peoples, and that's one of the great errors.

We are the worse kind of animal, because we don't live with instincts, we live for the ambitions. We are destroying our world and there are too many people, and few resources.

We are preparing our own extermination

LEGIO IX HISPANA

The lose legion, the mistery for all of historians and archeologists of the world.

The ninth was a Legion of the great army of the ancient Rome, created by Pompeyo, at the 1st century BC, and participated in the gallic wars with Julius Cesar. Then, the legion was sended to Britania, to fight and to conquer this land with other legions. We know that in 132 AC, the legion marched to the north, to fight againts the people of Caledonia, but never returned.

After that, the legion is a mistery, and writers used them to write books, like The Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliff . There are some movie too, like Centurion or the The Eagle. Bands used the theme for songs too, like Legio IX Hispana by Asterium, and The 9th Legion by Suidakra.

In a future, if I work in archaelogy, I love the ancient Rome and I wan't to find the lose legion.
