Tuska Open Air Metal Festival 12.-14.7 2002
Day 2

Well the second day is behind, being the most succesful Tuska day ever with 5000 visitors (being the maximum allowed). There has been talks of enlargening the festival nex year, which is good (of course the choice of bands influences a lot). Hopefully the festival will stay true to it's nature and not include anything but heavy (in all it's variations).

Medium Large	First band of the second day, Sunride, neverheard, but played a decent set, although I myself am not into their stuff.
Medium Large	Bassist.
Medium Large	First band on the main stage, Impaled Nazarene and Mika Luttinen.
Medium Large	The angry again bassist.
Medium Large	Impaled Nasarene played a no-nonsense up-your-nose-with-a-megaton-nuclear-device sparing neither the audience nor the whole universe in general with their aggressive music.
Medium Large	I believe in firepower, I believe in death I pray for nuclear war, the death of the inferior Death, death, death to all! No light in the end of the tunnel, the slaves must die When will you whores understand that WE ARE GODS?
Medium Large	And the bassist greets the audience.

Medium Large	Verenpisara. Another Finnish band, plays somewhat like HIM, but without V. Valo (thank god). Their singer did a good work.

Medium Large	Our friends from the province speculates whether Matti has a second accesspoint for rapid-alcohol-deployment in the navel.
Medium Large	The Crown (SWE), played decent örr-örr-metal.

Medium Large	The bassist.
Medium Large
Medium Large	Mosh-mosh, all day long.
Medium Large	Sara, a new band to me, played melodic metal, a bit harder than HIM. For some reason the lens caught a lot of dust particles making the pictures blurred.

Medium Large
Medium Large	The tent was quite hot and crowded, so most people settled to sit outside and enjoy the afternoon sun.
Medium Large	The Metal Club Mökä cornered a pair of beautiful girls and tried to impress them with their war faces.
Medium Large	A lot of Sentenced pics. They played a decent set, although my favourite 'Keep my grave open' was not performed.

Medium Large	A lot of people turned up for Nightwish...
Medium Large	Although my personal estimate was that there were less than at the Sentenced gig.

Medium Large	Henkka seemed to have some doubts about the existence of his surrounding, that's material physics for you.
Medium Large	Oh yeah, greetings to the seven foot blond asshole wearing a worn black jacket with a ripped Morbid Angel emblem on the back throwing fireworks in the audience, Hopefully you will experience a slow and painful death real soon.
Medium Large	As the evening turned to night, the flag still high...
Medium Large	Nightwish ended the second day of the festival.
Medium Large	And so we face the third day with a big smile.
