DARKANE – Interview with Klas Ideberg (guitarist) at The Tivoli, Helsingborg, Sweden.

I had a nice chat with an old acquaintance of mine the other day (well… night) and he happens to be Klas Ideberg, one of the riff-machines in the well-known Swedish band DARKANE. The guys have been around since the beginning of '98 when the band arose from the ashes of AGRETATOR – another great metal band from Helsingborg. It seems that Helsingborg, that also happens to be my hometown, is one of Sweden's leading metal cities.

FUTURISTIC THRASH-METAL AND THE 6TH SENSE

45 minutes left to the gig. DARKANE will perform 22:30 and it's a little hectic. I catch up with Klas backstage and he greets me wearing a black KILL SWITCH ENGAGE t-shirt and his characteristic smile. Klas says that it'll be a good idea to go to another room, namely ”Vinylbaren” – a cozy bar in the same complex. He is very calm and relaxed and the interview starts off right away. Klas puts in a ”snus” (tobacco) under his lip in a true Swedish fashion and sips on his beer. ”Expanding Senses” is DARKANE's 3rd album, released not that long ago, and we talk a little about the whole concept behind it.
