All Hope Is Gone Tour

Slipknot returned to North America to open up their All Hope Is Gone Headlining Tour, along for the ride were Coheed & Cambria and Trivium.  I shot the show on February 6th in Lowell, MA at Tsongas Arena.  Slipknot is one of my favorite bands to shoot.  Even though there is so much going on at once and it’s pretty much an assault to the senses it’s always fun and the results are usually some great shots – I’ll let you be the judge!  Click on an image to check out the full gallery or check them out here.

Mayhem Festival

Mayhem Festival rolled into the Comcast Center on August 5th unleashing a lethal amount of metal for one day.  With three stages and upwards of ten bands, I wasn’t sure I would survive.

The day stages started out with an assault to the senses.  I was able to capture 36CrazyFists, 5 Finger Death Punch, Walls of Jericho, Suicide Silence and Black Tide before I had to haul ass to the mainstage to catch Mastadon, Dragonforce, Disturbed and the main draw of the night – Slipknot.

In between I managed to run back to the day stage to catch the last song of Airborne and Underoath.  As much as I tried to catch every band that played, I did miss a few.

The full galleries will be up on TheyWillRockYou.com just as soon as I finish going through the edit process with them but I’ve included a few to tease you metalheads.
