Meshuggah across America

It’s always a luxury when you can work away from home and still feel at home. It doesn’t happen often but when it does you kind of feel like you’re inte the right wrong place at the right time.
While in Chicago, IL in 2009 to attend a wedding my old buddy Dick Lövgren was passing through town with math metal legends Meshuggah. Dick and I grew up together playing music, listening to heavy metal and rioting in school. These days he plays the bass in one of the coolest bands there are and I am still a schmuck (but that doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends, right?).
I decided to document our bumping into each other on the other side of the planet for our home town newspaper on the west coast of Sweden and they jumped at the idea straight on.
I think the article was an honest and personal one and the photos all came out great. The wide-angle lens warped Dick’s allready warped bass in a cool way. I think Warwick Basses ended up using one the pictures for the NAMM promotion or something like that and just now I saw one of my pictures on the Warwick site and one the official Meshuggah site.
