One of my absolute favorite bands from Denmark (if not my MOST favorite).
I've know them for about 4 years now and it's been great seeing them grow more and more in the danish underground scene.
Check their music out at their myspace.

By Matthew Brettingham (1699-1769), James Paine (1717-1789) & Robert Adam (1728-1792).
Interiors complete by the 1780s.
For Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Baron Scarsdale (1726-1804).
Grade l listed.
The Dining Room.
This was a room designed around the theme of eating and drinking including that of the mantelpiece which features the figures of Ceres and Bacchus (goddess of the harvest and god of wine).
Kedleston Hall is an extravagant temple to the arts. Commissioned in the 1750s by Nathaniel Curzon whose ancestors had resided at Kedleston since the 12th century. The house is framed by historic parkland and boasts opulent interiors intended to impress.
Designed for lavish entertaining, Kedleston Hall displays an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings, reflecting both the tastes of its creators and their fascination with the classical world of the Roman Empire.
Inherited by George Nathaniel Curzon, Viceroy of India between 1899 and 1905, the hall also houses the many objects he amassed during his travels in South Asia and the Middle East, and in his role leading British rule in India.
Space created
A quiet journey
A soul to speak
And souls speak to
A created movement
A bond unknown
Vines untied
A call within
A silent pause
In silence seeing
Courage my friend
In trust I hold

RAF Bawdsey Radar Station Transmitter Block Museum.
RAF Bawdsey continued to operate as a Radar Station throughout World War Two and into the Cold War, finally closing in 1991, at that time many of the key buildings on the estate were listed by English Heritage, with the Transmitter Block given Grade II Status, although sadly it also soon occupied a place on the ‘Buildings At Risk’ register. 'Bawdsey Radar Group' was formed by a group of local people in the autumn of 2003. Its formation came about following the opening to the public of the Transmitter Block by a small group of Radar enthusiasts one weekend in July of that year. Although they expected only a few visitors to turn up nearly a thousand arrived. Following this response, a public meeting was held at Bawdsey Manor and it was decided to set up a larger group to take on the challenge of restoring and opening up the Transmitter Block to the wider public. In 2004 the block was included in the BBC2 series Restoration which featured endangered historic buildings. It won fourth place which gave the site widespread recognition of its significance in Britain’s War Time History.
The Group became a Trust in 2008 and commissioned an initial options appraisal by The Morton Partnership, funded by the Architectural Heritage Fund, by 2012 the state of the Transmitter Block was so poor it was now or never in terms of applying for funds to save the building and to create a new exhibition to tell the site’s remarkable history. In 2013 Bawdsey Radar was awarded a National Lottery Heritage Fund development grant and in 2015 a grant of £1.4m towards a total project cost of £1.8m. Historic England gave a grant of £196,000 towards the repair of the Concrete Blast Walls with a view to removing the Transmitter Block from the ‘At Risk’ register.
They were fortunate to build an enthusiastic and skilled team for this unique project, lead Consultant and Architect was Jerry Lander of Freeland Rees Roberts, The Morton Partnership continued as structural engineers, Concrete Renovations Ltd were appointed for the concrete works and PLB Exhibition Designers Ltd worked on the exhibition.
The restoration work at Bawdsey
The concrete repairs were the most pressing, and the restoration plan was to create a long lasting repair to the Concrete Blast Walls without changing their appearance. Specifically, concrete repairs were modified using coloured mortars and washed aggregates to simulate the colour of the original concrete. Day joints and shuttering board marks were incorporated into the concrete surface to reproduce the original construction techniques. The 80 year ageing process was simulated by flashing the repair surfaces with a fine grit-blasting media. Finally, a migrating corrosion inhibitor and an impregnation cream were installed as part of the 25 year maintenance plan. For their work on the project Concrete Renovations have recently been granted an award of merit by the International Concrete Repair Institute.
The other main area of concern was the roof, this was constructed with a brick parapet that held approximately 4ft of shingle (taken from the nearby beach) to stop potential Direct Bomb Hits that would have destroyed the Transmitter Block. Over the years water had penetrated the shingle and the roof causing damage to the interior. The solution was to remove one third of the shingle, carry our repairs, create a retaining wall, move the next third of shingle into the completed section and so on until finally the first third of shingle was returned and the roof sealed with tarmac. This work was carried out by our main contractor Elliston Steady & Hawes Ltd, the building has now been removed from the ‘At Risk’ Register
Bawdsey Radar ''A World First''
Interior works were designed to retain the character of the building whilst providing a showcase for the beautifully designed exhibition that has incorporated both traditional and digital forms of interpretation to tell this fascinating story. The construction project began in late September 2016 and they were able to reopen with a soft launch, to test the building and themselves, in October 2017. Both 2018 and 2019 had been both exciting and rewarding, building an incredible team of volunteers, welcoming more than 5000 visitors each season and winning both 'Shop of the Year' and 'Suffolk Small Museum of the Year' awards. In July 2018, the Duke of Gloucester cut an official looking ribbon and the sun shone, events, activities, talks and social media have been important for maintaining and attracting new audiences. Behind the scenes work includes collections management, training, conservation, an application for museum accreditation and developing our social media and digital presence.
