Yesterday, Ch’ahom and Morsch stopped in Feldkirch, AT, to dust off the bookshelves of the Antiquariat Chybulski.

I’ve posted all the photos and a few words there: www.lucinogen.com/events/chahom-morsch-20250307-feldkirch-at

The singer of the German black metal band Morsch mid-performance, raising his fist with intensity. His long, wild dreadlocks partially obscure his face as he grips the microphone, channeling raw emotion. The venue exudes a warm, intimate atmosphere, with wooden bookshelves filled with aged books lining the background. The dim, golden lighting casts dramatic shadows, enhancing the contrasting energy between the performer’s intensity and the venue’s cozy, old-world charm. The German black metal band Morsch mid-performance. The dim, golden lighting casts dramatic shadows, enhancing the contrasting energy between the raw metal genre and the venue’s cozy, old-world charm. The image captures the guitarists of the pre-Hispanic war metal band Ch’ahom in the midst of an intense live performance. The foreground musician, with long flowing hair and intricate tattoos, wields a black, angular electric guitar adorned with tribal and skull motifs, reflecting the band’s aesthetic. His face is marked with warpaint, amplifying the ritualistic energy of the scene. In the background, another guitarist, partially obscured by shadows and warm lighting, contributes to the sonic assault, his expression fierce and engaged. The venue’s cozy, wooden interior lined with old bookshelves contrasts sharply with the band’s aggressive presence, creating a visually striking juxtaposition between the raw power of the performance and the intimate, almost mystical setting. The image showcases the full lineup of Ch’ahom, the pre-Hispanic war metal band, mid-performance, exuding raw energy and defiance. With fists raised high, the musicians channel an intense, warrior-like presence, reinforcing the band’s ritualistic and war aesthetic.

#Opeth visited Munich for a sold out Muffathalle and I’m grateful I got to shoot them for The Progspace.
Full gallery via the link below.

Asides from the jokes, we were even treated to a 2-second Napalm Death cover 🥲

The (much) expected (imho) Decline of the I record is out today.

Quite a busy release day with new records from Délirant, Hangman’s Chair, Pothamus, Novarupta and Black Narcissus.

Also listening to Membaris, which came out a few days ago.

Anything I missed?

@jozefvanwissem.bsky.social yesterday in Munich - a mesmerizing atmospheric performance haunting the industrial Zirka venue.

#jozefvanwissem #acoustic #concert #livephotography #concertphotography #photography #nikon #musicsky #gothicsky
In this dramatic black and white concert photograph, Jozef Van Wissem is captured in an intense moment of performance, head tilted back with long hair while playing the lute. The atmospheric scene is enhanced by swirling smoke or stage fog that creates a mystical, ethereal quality around the performer, who is dressed in dark clothing against a black background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This black and white concert photograph shows a minimalist concert setup, with the solitary lutist Jozef Van Wissem seated on stage performing amidst vintage-style oriental rugs and simple stage lighting from above. The stark composition emphasizes the intimate nature of the performance, with the musician positioned in the center of the frame, surrounded by darkness. In this dramatic black and white concert photograph, Jozef Van Wissem is singing while playing the lute. The atmospheric scene is enhanced by swirling smoke or stage fog that creates a mystical, ethereal quality around the performer, who is dressed in dark clothing against a black background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This atmospheric black and white concert photo captures the lutist Jozef Van Wissem performing on a stage bathed in smoke and dramatic vertical lighting, while silhouettes of audience members in the foreground create a sense of depth and intimacy. The industrial venue setting, with its visible ceiling beams and stark lighting, creates a striking contrast between the medieval instrument and the modern performance space, while the smoke adds a dreamlike quality to the scene.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

As #ImperialTriumphant announced their forthcoming tour with #Igorrr & #MasterBootRecord yesterday, I thought about sharing a few shots of the band at #Roadburn 2023, playing their record ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ in full.

#blackmetalsky #concert #livephotography #concertphotography #nikon #photography
The black and white photograph shows drummer Kenny Grohowski performing on stage at Roadburn 2023, captured in a dramatic high-contrast style. He is seated at a drum kit and wearing the distinctive masked attire associated with the avant-garde metal band Imperial Triumphant, which features elaborate, art deco-inspired costumes. The mask obscures his face completely, creating a striking silhouette against what appears to be stage lighting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A black and white photograph shows Imperial Triumphant guitarist Zachary Ezrin performing at Roadburn 2023, captured in dramatic high-contrast. He is wearing the band's signature art deco-inspired mask, which in this case features a crown of metal spikes radiating outward. The mask has distinct facial features and designs etched into it, dramatically lit to emphasize its contours. The image is tightly cropped on the mask and upper body, with the rest fading to black, creating a striking and ominous portrait that aligns with the band's avant-garde black metal aesthetic.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A black and white photograph shows Imperial Triumphant bassist Steve Blanco performing at Roadburn 2023, captured in dramatic contrast. The image shows him in the band's signature formal attire while playing both trombone (shown in a striking diagonal line across the frame) and electric bass guitar (visible in the lower portion of the frame). His art deco-inspired mask is partially visible, with its distinctive horned design. The composition creates an interesting geometric interplay between the two instruments, with the electric bass guitar positioned below the trombone, all set against a dark background that emphasizes the dramatic stage lighting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A black and white photograph captures a dramatic moment at the finale of an Imperial Triumphant performance where bassist Steve Blanco, in the foreground wearing their signature hooded formal attire and art deco-inspired mask, is spraying champagne at the end of their performance at Roadburn 2023. The image dramatically captures the champagne spray creating an explosive pattern of droplets against the dark background, illuminated by stage lighting.

First gig and shots of the year for me yesterday. Attended #DefeatedSanity in Basel, sick atmosphere in a sold out venue.

They’re currently touring Europe with a package that you don’t wanna miss if you’re into brutal death metal!

#Dødheimsgard announced today at the Avantgarde Music festival, along with #Mesarthim .. in Milano, IT on September 20th.

Can’t. Frigging. Wait.

To celebrate, some pictures of #DHG at the #DebemurMorti Servants of Chaos fest last year!

#metalsky #livephotography #concertphotography #shotoftheday
A dramatic concert photo shows Vicotnik of Dødheimsgard performing on stage, captured in a moment of intense expression with his tongue out. His posture is dynamic and playful, leaning forward in a stance typical of DHG performances. A dynamic concert shot shows Vicotnik of Dødheimsgard licking the cheek of his bass player. In a playful moment, Vicotnik of Dødheimsgard has stepped down into the photo pit to interact with fans, their hands reaching eagerly toward him as he leans in with a spirited attitude. In a close-up shot, Vicotnik of Dødheimsgard is captured in an intense moment, gripping his microphone while performing, his expression animated and engaging with the camera.

Another Bluesky #tip: if you’re coming from X or Instagram you can use the tool @sky-follower-bridge.dev to find on Bluesky the accounts you follow on the other platforms. If available, it matches account names or handles.

I’ve found dozens of accounts like this and saved me some time. Very handy!

Going back to some shots I took of Fange supporting #Ulcerate on their 2024 European tour. Both bands announced yesterday that the Scandinavian/Finland leg will take place in May 2025. Yay!

Bands and artists: what primary role do you expect a platform like Ampwall or Bandcamp fulfill?

Do you expect it to generate new traffic and sales?
Is it most about having a place for YOUR audience to find things?
Is it more about having a presence and a place that’s yours, sales be damned?
