Joining Urgehal to Hellflame fest. next weekend.

About Me


I'm Marcel aka Hub de Gallier. That's probaly all you need to know about me...wanna know more than leave a message. But keep in mind I don't add just any band as a friend, I'm fed up by now with all these bands that just wanna have as many friends as possible. So don't waste your time and definitely don't waste mine. After all, I'm not a friend collector!!
Some keywords about me: I have an own distro/label containing only underground stuff, it's called HDG-Distribution. A new website is being finished in 2006 leaving the old, out of date page behind. The address to go is: www.hdgdistribution.com Check it out!
Besides that I am also merchandiser and/or stagehand for Enslaved, Vreid, Kampfar and now and then Helheim and Urgehal! Some recent tours I've done are the Enslaved RUUN part I tour with Vreid as support, Enslaved RUUN part II tour with Keep of Kalessin and Shining as supports, Enslaved in Russia/Ukraine tour, Northern Brigde Tour with Vreid/Battered/In Vain, Tordenstorm tour with Kampfar and Elite and some smaller tours and (festival) shows with Vreid, Helheim, Trail of Tears, Hades Almighty, Vulture Industries, Taake, Dismember, Urgehal, Kampfar and more.
I also run H & H Agency together with Xander. With this we're organising small tours, festivals and regular concerts. At the moment we don't have a website yet but for the time being updates can be seen here at Myspace. Some bands we worked with are Vreid, Helheim, Taake, Dimension F3H, Dismember, Urgehal, Gjenferdsel, Hades Almighty, Arkona and many more.
Furthermore I've written for Vampire Magazine for many years but I decided to leave since I wasn't feeling at home there anymore. I was planning to start my own magazine again but due to major lack of time I am forced to give up this idea for the time being. We'll see what the future brings.....
I furthermore like travelling and Norway and Russia (Russian Federation) are my favourite destinations! Obviously music is my biggest hobby and by looking through my friendslist you'll see my musical taste.
Finally I want to end by saying: Keep supporting the underground music scene! Stop downloading and start buying!!!!

My Interests

Music, Norway, Russian Federation, mythology, history, travelling....

Music:

Lots of bands I appreciate, no need to mention names here. After all, music is a personal taste and besides I would have to mention too many names and I am just not into that. Though I guess when looking through my friends list you'll see musicians and bands which I all appreciate a lot.

Movies:

The Star Wars movies, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Quentin Tarantino movies (especially Pulp Fiction), Fear and loathing Las Vegas, music DVD's....

Television:

Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, travel-programms, Michael Palin's extraordinary journeys, Bottom, The Young Ones....

Books:

The Edda, books on mythology and history, books on travels and travelguides.....

Heroes:

No heroes for me, just people that I admire for what they're doing or have done. No need to mention names here.
