We are pleased to announce that METHANE will be playing the METALLSVENSKAN Festival 2018.The Festival will be held att Bollspelaren Idrottsplats in Norrköping Sweden, on June15-16. Tickets available here
WASP , EXODUS, SATYRICON , RIVAL SONS are among a feast of amazing metal bands to play this 2 day event. Hope to see you there. See all Methane tour dates here.
METALLSVENSKAN started in 2009 , combining metal and soccor. There you can see your favorite bands fight it out on the soccor field and on stage on the same day. The festival recently moved from Orebro, Sweden to Norrköping, Sweden after taking a 1 year hiatus.
February 21, 2018 we gave us off to Estonia from our rural town in the heart of Sweden. The weather was a typical mid-winter Scandinavian bone chilling cold. We packed up our “Tour Bus” a Renault station wagon and drove off twords Stockholm, where we would catch the ferry to Estonia. See all tourdates here
When we came to the port in Stockholm, we drove the Methane-mobile (which would become our cramped halfway house on wheels) on to the ship and found our room. The Baltic Sea was cold and full of ice that previous ships have broken, and like many times before we found ourselves on the 24 hour party boat on our way to metal clubs in a new country.
After a little celebrating on the boat we arrived in Tallinn around 10 AM, loaded our tired asses in to the car and drove off to meet up with our friends StoneSoul. We had played with StoneSoul before in Finland last year and have kept contact with DC and the guys ever since.

Then off to the first gig : Tartu, Estonia @ Underground. Where we would later meet up with our tour mates in INTACT. Undergound is a small basement club with a real “underground” feeling, setting the stage for a great 3 day tour.
Day 2: Valga, Estonia @ Rockiklubi. We woke up feeling like we deserved for partying with the bands and our new friends we met in Tartu, and made our way to Valga. Valga is a city divided by the borders of Estonia and Latvia. Rockiklubi had a feeling of being a squat, it was BYOB and spray paint on the walls. But an awesome crowd made for an awesome gig.
Day 3: Tallinn, Estonia @ Club Rockstar’s. Our last night was in INTACT’s home town and capitol of Estonia. THe 24th of February, the night we played, was also Estonia’s 100 year celebration. The city was in party mode. Rockstar’s looks and feels like a medievil dungeon which is fitting for the world’s most preserved medievil city Tallinn, built by the Tuetonic Knights and listed on UNESCO World Heritage preservation list.
Tallin was not good by just “see you again soon”. This March Intact will be here in Sweden playing a gig in Ludvika and and a show with METHANE in Mora at Lilla Helfvetet on 24 March. Its been a year since we played in Mora and can’t wait to come up again. We hope to see everyone come out supporting metal music and discover Intact’s heavy grooves, unique sound and great stage show, Presented by KILLAHEAD. INTACT on Facebook

Methane will be adventuring over the Baltic Sea to Estonia for 3 nights of groove metal along with Estonian metal band Intact and Finland’s StoneSoul. This leg of the band’s 2018 ‘Signed In Blood‘ tour will also mark the 1 year anniversay of the release of Methane’s ‘The Devil’s Own‘ album released on Sony’s DARK STAR RECORDS on February 17, 2017.
Confirmed tour dates in February:
The Swedish metal band will continue the tour through Scandinavia and mainland Europe twords the end of winter 2018 and the tour will include some festivals as well.
According to Tim Scott (Bassist/Vocalist) the band is currently writing new material for it’s second album. ” The new stuff is thrashier, heavier and groovier, we are loving it. Olle (Ekman) has brought a new demension to the band and our writing. We haven’t lost that Southern Metal dynamic either. I am really excited to get back in the studio. But first things first, playing live is where it the monsters come to life and where my demons feel at home.”
Methane is a hard hitting, and unapologetic southern groove/thrash band formed in 2012 and based in Sweden. Members Tim Scott and Dylan Campbell moved from America to team with Jim Masterbo and Andreas Strom. Between 2014 and 2015, with the release of two EPs, two music videos, plus soundtrack credit on the Metalhedz mini series, and the first eNovel with music, Methane got noticed and subsequently signed by Dark Star/Sony Records in 2016. Methane’s debut album, “The Devil’s Own“, came out in February 2017 to positive reviews. After a successful tour season, and welcoming new drummer Olle Ekman, they are preparing to assault Europe again starting in Winter 2018. Find their music on iTunes, Google, or your favorite listening app.

METHANE RELEASE SCARS AND BARS LIVE VIDEO
Sweden-based metal outfit METHANE have released a live music video of their song ‘Scars and Bars’. The song comes off of their debut record The Devil’s Own released on Sony’s Dark Star Records in early 2017.
“We love playing live, its onstage where the music comes to life.” said bassist/vocalist Tim Scott about the clip. “This song has a deeper meaning for me and means alot to have recorded this at home and for our home crowd,maybe the person who inspired the anger in the text.”
The video was recorded live with soundboard quality sound at Liljan in Methane’s home town Borlänge Sweden, September 19, 2017 on ’The Devil’s Own European tour’. Scars and Bars is the first in a series of live videos to be released from the tour.
