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.
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.
