Wanderlust

took the bus around 13.30, took the train to Kortrijk around 14.26, got there around 15.21, my train to Ieper was at 15.51 and I arrived at the venue around 16.40. first band I saw was Crimson falls. I wanted to see them, since I hadn’t seen them in a while but I lost interest and I still had to eat! when I had done eating, I went to get 2 t-shirts from Carpathian. the white Wanderlust one (the one from this tour) and the Euro winter tour MMXI longsleeve. then it was time for Shaped by fate. I listened to 1 of their songs couple years ago and I didn’t expect them to be this good! they really got the crowd going. then it was finally time for Carpathian! the only band I went to Ieper winterfest for. they started off with Ironheart, followed by Wanderlust and Sun heights. they played almost everything from Isolation and Wanderlust. it was really amazing. my hands are wrecked, everything hurts and my throat is soar. after Carpathian was over, there was basically nothing to do for me anymore. I could’ve seen the Set-up but I lost interest after 2 songs. instead I went over to the distro to check their records out. I almost bought Panic - Dying for it on 12” but then I saw the self-titled album by Janez detd. on 12”. nobody will know them but they got me into punkrock and all that, I’ve been listening to them since I was about 10! I also got myself a new book, The face on your plate. having cash is never good for me! then it was time to go. another 3 hours of trains, a bus and waiting. it was worth it though. I had a great time. Carpathian was awesome.

watch me unwind, rejected and depressed. everything I am I hate. confused, directionless. knowing this is all we had. existing on best terms we can until Death takes us from our own fucking hands.

Carpathian will always be relevant to my life. if everything goes as planned, I’ll be heading out tomorrow to get my ticket for Ieper winterfest. I can’t wait to shout all the words along.
