NOTES ON A REHEARSAL
This nine track rehearsal has almost all of the new songs of the "Industrislaven" MCD. The final recording had five (six, if you count the hidden second version of "Revolution") re-recordings from "Domedagen", an intro, outro and a short joke song that was all made in the studio and ten new songs. So nine of ten are almost all of them.
Since I don’t have a date for this rehearsal, or should I say rehearsals since they are two, I can’t remember if we knew we were doing "Industrislaven" or just wrote songs. I sort of believe that it was the latter and that we added all those re-recordings to get enough material. Who knows? Many years have passed... That said, I can't say for sure if this was recorded in late 1994 or early 1995. "Industrislaven" was recorded in February 1995 and since these rehearsal songs are pretty much finished they could have been recorded just before we went into the studio. Again: I don't know.
Anyway, what strikes me as a bit funny is that we apparently rehearsed with Mieszko playing the bass. This was when I played the guitar and Rickard was the singing drummer. It certainly gives a “band feeling” to the rehearsal. As I remember things from the years prior to this, we usually rehearsed with two guitars and drums. Perhaps Mieszko chose the bass this time to practise for the recording as he played the bass as well as the guitar in the studio?
I don’t have that many individual comments to the songs. I kept a false start of "Skithus" just for that rehearsal feeling (and to give you a taste of Mieszko’s speaking voice). I also kept Rickard’s exhausted exhale before the blast only "Ingenting att ha!" that ends the rehearsal. Just for the fun of it. Other than that it should be obvious that the sound changes slightly on the last three songs, which indicates that there are two different sessions in this recording.
THE SONGS:
1. Dolt under ytan
2. Löpandebandsprincipen
3. Skithus
4. I helvetet
5. Brinn
6. Fantasibilder
7. Krigets skörd
8. Den mörka tiden
9. Ingenting att ha!

HELP ME FUND THE VAULT AND THE RARE NASUM
I have a lot of Nasum "vaults". There are the digital vaults, harddrives, CD-R's and whatever that contains some stuff. And then there are the analog vaults. Boxes filled with documents and notes and boxes filled with tapes containing rehearsals and rare stuff. I'd be more than happy to share this with the fans, but I need some funds to take time of from work to really do all that boring excavating that's needed to find and document everything.
I have put together a GoFundMe page for this: gofundme.com/the-rare-nasum and any donation is appreciated. You can also support this cause by buying The Rare Nasum stuff at Bandcamp. Or you can make a donation without going through GoFundMe or Bandcamp - just contact me at nasum@nasum.com. Everything that comes in via these channels are ear marked for a future massive excavation.
I really hope you can help me to preserve The Nasum Vault for the world. Thanks!
