new thread
Hey!
Time for a new update. My last one was a long time ago!
The hair keeps growing, although it almost feels like it´s growing faster in the back. I´m gona go for another trim to get rid of the mullet soon. Hopefully, that will make it look a bit better.
I´m only fingercombing nowadays bacause of breakage. And I think it´s working. Though it takes some time for the broken hairs to grow out so I guess I wont find out for a few more months.
Anyways, on to the pictures. These were taken a few days ago during my promoshoot for my new demo. I´m currently working on it and will hit the studio in february 11th. So all of you who enjoy metal, keep your eyes open in the following months, because this one will be a treat!
Hi Erik,
Always good to hear from you mate and the hair is coming along great and grown alot since the last avatar. The first picture is very "metal" and a great location and I'm sure the photographer certainly knows a good location.
Keep up in touch with you music projects.
Cheers,
John.B
Hey John!
How are you doing mate?
Yeah that location is excellent! Actually, I searched the city for good spots and this one was the best by far!
I will!

Hi Erik,
Your hair keeps looking better and better, and is growing very quickly as well. You are really beginning to look like a longhair now. Also, I assume you still live in Scandinavia. It looks a LOT milder where you are than thae cold and snowy weather we are getting in Nova Scotia. (I don't see any snow in these photos, and you are not that heavily dressed)
Keep it growing,
David
Thanks mate!
Hows your hair going David?
Yeah I still live in sweden, close to stockholm. We have had a very mild winter, the temparature was about +5 degrees C on these pictures. Though we had a storm crossing sweden too so the wind was very strong! (One third of the pictures had to be discarded because of wind) Actually I was freezing my ass off with that little clothing but hey, got to have nice pics for the demo! :D
It´s crazy. This winter and the one before was very very mild. Though when I was younger, we always had winters with temperatures between -10, -15 and -20 degrees C.

Hi Erik,
Thanks for asking about my hair! In fact, I posted an update just over a week ago, on the 13th, and it is about 2/3 down the page by now, if you care to look.
About the winters, that is amazingly mild for your part of the world. The last 2 or 3 winters have been very mild in Nova Scotia, but this one has been totally different. We have had lots of cold and snow, with more forecast for tomorrow. We did have a one week break in early January, where the temperature soared to around 10 C for a couple of days.
Take care,
David
I´ll check it out!
Okay. Well, mild winters are actually kinda nice. Though that extreme cold is fun too, it makes you feel alive! :) Where exactly is Nova Scotia by the way?
Hi again, Erik,
Nova Scotia is on the east coast of Canada. Ironically, it is actually closer to the equator than the north pole, which is much farther south than Sweden. However, the climate of Sweden is modified by the gulf stream, whereas Nova Scotia is not. Our average January temperatures in Nova Scotia are about -5 C, and about 18 C in the summer.
David
Ah okay. I think climate-wise, I´d enjoy living in Canada. It seems to be a good country in many different ways. :)
Mullet? I see no mullet. D<
It looks awesome, and yay for people who can actually create metal. XD I sure as hell can't, sadly.
It´s lurking in the back of my head. Waiting and watching... *enter theme music from Jaws here*
Anyways, the new demo will be awesome! Keep your eyes open, I will post a link here once it´s finished.
Erik,
Congrats! The hair looks great. In my eyes, having the back hair a bit longer than the front doesn't look bad by any measure, especially at your current length. But, if you want to even it up a bit, by all means do what you feel suits you.
Good luck with the musical projects. Stay metal, man \m/ !
Peace,
Ryan
Thanks mate! :)
Wow, your hair has really grown and looks fabulous!
I've been meaning to check out your music as I'm a metal fan. Could you post the link to it again please?
Thanks mate!

The first one is my soloproject. These are the old songs, I will have my new demo ready in a few months. :)
Big changes there Erik, the length has really increased since your band photos. Hope all is cool with you and your music. Keep it 'ard, keep it 'eavy.
\m/ Dave
Thanks! :)
Really? I think it grows really slow. I guess you are right, it´s hard to notice the extra length when you see yourself in the mirror every day!
Yeah of course I can send you a cd. Depending on the shipping costs I´d say 9 or 10 US dollars. It has 7 songs on it though so it´s affordable. ;)
Yeah we can stay in touch mate! It´s still a while until it´s ready. :)
You have come a long way, fast. Looking great !
Thanks for Sharing
WWT
Thanks!
It's always good to see your updates Erik and your hair is coming along nicely! Looking forward to hearing some more of your great music. I'm drawing a blank in finding your myspace page, maybe you can have Chris link it so that we can check out you music from time to time.
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Thanks!

I will make the adress easier once I update the site with the new demo. Yeah, maybe he can. :)
Wow, have you ever gained length and I give you every credit in the world for hanging in there to achieve great long hair.
Thanks justin!
Thanks! :)
Hey Erik
The hairs looking great man. I'm glad things are working out perfectly for you. I'm really looking forward to that demo, make sure to hook us up with a copy first chance you get!
Thanks!
I will mate! MLHH will be the first site I post the link on. :)
Looking really great, Erik. You've come a long way from your starting length. Best of luck on your continuing journey. =)

Thanks James!
Hej Erik!
These pictures are totally badass. I can't wait till your demo comes out. I will surely try to download it.
The longer your hair gets, the more "metal" you look :-)
Har det sa bra!
Matt B.
Hey man!
Thanks! Yeah, I think you will succeed in downloading it too! (Though you can only download six of seven songs, so if you want the last one, you got to buy the demo ;)).
You look really awesome with the ever=lengthening hair, Erik. Good choice to grow it out!
Mouse
Thanks!
That's a killer update Erik I like the pics. It's unusual your hair is growing faster in the back but it happens and as long as they don't take much off. I'm also glad to hear your headed into the studio and look forward to your Demo and more pics.
Kevin
Thanks Kevin!
Well, actually, it probably doesn´t. Though the bangs are not as full as the hair in the back, so they feel shorter I guess. Hopefully, the bangs will get a bit more full once it gets longer.
Erik, Awesome hair! Great sweatshirt!
peace, jonalbear
Thanks jonalbear!
Dude...
GREAT LOOK!!!! Love the hair and I think what you call "the mullet" looks awesome.
Keep it growing man... goal length???
Jules
Hey!
Thanks Jules!
My goallength is mid back. :)
Erik,
Seriously, I thought the back of your hair in the pics looked awesome...mid back length would look great on you.
From Boston... keep it growing! Great job!
I would love to see more pics.. email is jlavoie@hiboxborough.com
