This short clip is taken from a longer conversation I recorded with @thrainnarnibaldvinsson , guitarist with the Icelandic Viking/folk metal band Skálmöld.
I came across some official promo photos of KISS playing in Iceland in 1988 via the Bruce Kulick Appreciation Facebook page. My dad was the band promoter who brought KISS to Iceland that year (alongside many other bands), and I commented on a post explaining my Bits + Bobs archive project.
Þráinn replied — and this conversation followed.
He attended the concert as a 12-year-old, and it was fascinating hearing that night recalled from a 12-year-old’s perspective — especially knowing the path he would later take in Iceland’s metal scene.
This 5-minute clip is a short teaser from a much longer recorded conversation.
More to come.
