increase_jt_1Half an hour before the opening act on the second day of Saaripop it seemed that the day was going to be even rainier than Monday. Luckily otherwise happened. First to climb on stage was Joensuu based Increase with its metal and rock sounds. Opening act is not always the most thrived place on the act and Increase had to play for a relatively small audience before people started to show after the rain.

Serpenthia had acquired third place on the Rok it!-band contest and played next. Guitarist Erno Hulkkonen was really pleased after the gig. He told us that the 2001 formed band has been on a steady rise this year and the band’s future seems bright. Serpenthia has done a couple of demo tapes and more will be heard. He believes that Serpenthia fits well to metal scene in Joensuu as there are no other dark metal bands.

Just moment before the third act, Depressure had some exciting moments as Jarno Väänänen had not arrived from the army barracks. Furlough was granted and Väänänen arrived just in time for the gig although he did not have time to change. The gig started a little bit late but after the hassle in the beginning went really well.
