Reactivated SARCASTIC To Play First Hometown Show In 12 Years

January 20, 2009

Reactivated Swedish thrash metallers SARCASTIC will play a hometown show on Friday, February 13 — the band's first appearance in Strömstad since 1997! Also scheduled to appear at the Skagerack venue are punk rockers HATHOR (featuring SARCASTIC bassist Patrik "PK" Nilsson) and the next generation of metal coming from the city, WHEN HOPE FALLS.

SARCASTIC returned to the live stage on December 20, 2008 when it supported SABATON as part of the Rockstad festival in Uddevalla, Sweden. This was SARCASTIC's first performance since 2004 and its first concert with returning guitarist Erik "Beast" Halvorsen (ex-SWORDMASTER, DEATHSTARS) in 11 years.

Video footage of the performance can be viewed below. Photos of the concert are available at this location.

SARCASTIC's current lineup is as follows:

* Jörgen Nilsson - vocals
* Mäbe Johansson (ex-session guitar for DISSECTION, OPHTALAMIA, co-songwriter for "Cyanide" by DEATHSTARS) - guitar
* Erik "Beast" Halvorsen (ex-SWORDMASTER, DEATHSTARS) - guitar
* Patrik "PK" Nilsson (HATHOR) - bass
* Kalle Karlsson (GRIEF OF EMERALD, MASTEMA, THE PROTECTORS) - drums

Hailing from Strömstad, Sweden, SARCASTIC was formed in 1992 with the intention of playing thrash metal influenced by bands such as METALLICA, SLAYER, KREATOR, SADUS, TESTAMENT, EXODUS and CORONER etc. The band recorded some demos and was featured on several compilation CDs before being laid to rest in 1997.
