AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: CLUTCH @ Rebel, October 23, 2018
This was the first concert I’ve been to post-legalization, so it was only fitting that Clutch opened their set with “The Mob Goes Wild”
Gruesome Greg
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: MONSTER MAGNET/Electric Citizen @ Lee’s Palace, September 28, 2018
Monster Magnet kicked off their North American tour last night with a long-awaited Toronto date — I’m not sure they’ve been to Hogtown since I moved here in ’05.
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: EYEHATEGOD/The Obsessed @ Spirit Hall, Pittsburgh, September 22, 2018
Quick question: When was the last time Wino played Toronto?
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: Pallbearer/Tribulation @ Lee’s Palace, September 15, 2018
Tribulation is a Swedish dark metal quartet with four albums under its belt…but I hadn’t heard of them until very recently. I guess it shows how allergic to corpse paint I am.
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: MONOLORD/The Death Wheelers/Low Orbit @ The Garrison, September 3, 2018
On a hot September’s night, Swedish doomsters Monolord made their second Toronto appearance to a sizeable, sweaty crowd at The Garrison…
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: BLACK TUSK/Whores/WhiteNails @ Lee’s Palace, August 20, 2018
Black Tusk and Whores brought the energy up from Georgia to put a heavy end to the start of the week–with a solid supporting act straight outta Quebec!
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: WITCH MOUNTAIN, Volur, Smoulder @ The Garrison, August 4, 2018
It’s nice to see a bill where all the bands are complementary, but not identical–three different shades of doom metal were on display last night.
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: SLEEP @ Danforth Music Hall, July 30, 2018
Man, this was the fifth time I’ve seen Sleep since 2010…and the first time they played any new material.
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: YOB/Bell Witch/Vile Creature @ Mod Club, July 4, 2018
Yob’s latest album, Our Raw Heart, is a comparatively lighter, more melodic effort–but that doesn’t make it any less crushing live.
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: BRUJERIA/Dayglo Abortions @ Opera House, June 16, 2018
You probably know me as a doom metal guy, but both of these bands are guilty pleasures for me.
