Tell us about the formation of GUTVOID in 2019. What brought you together? Sometime in 2018 Dan and myself (Brendan) were driving on Lake Shore and he was showing me some of the newer music he’d been listening to at the time – which included Krypts, Spectral Voice and Mortiferum. I’d fallen out of death…

Carcass, Municipal Waste, Sacred Reich, Creeping Death – Live in Toronto – April 2023
It was an absolute rager at the Phoenix Concert Theatre, on a Sunday night no less, for the legendary CARCASS with Municipal Waste, Sacred Reich and Creeping Death. Your friendly neighbourhood photographer, Danielle, was there and suitably overcaffeinated to capture some of the action. Here’s highlights of some of the shots I got, starting with…

Opeth, Mastodon and Khemmis – Live Gallery: Toronto, ON – April 22 2022
It was an absolute joy to shoot the legendary Opeth at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on Friday April 25, 2022. That sure feels great to write! Live shows in 2022, and one of the all-time favourites of many a metalhead, good stuff. Hey, but don’t let my nerding out about these prog darlings from Sweden…

Oranssi Pazuzu at Velvet Underground – October 12, 2019
I type faster than I can think sometimes. Getting into that groove where your mind just sets itself and no longer allows any random thoughts in – did I turn off the stove? – we can all get there, but can probably agree it doesn’t always happen when we want it to. Few things can…

Tomb Mold – Planetary Clairvoyance
Introspective, hideous, irresistible filth. It’s really hard to sit and write about how good the new Tomb Mold is, but it’s worth a try. If you tend to enjoy ugly, crunchy, deliciously savage death metal, you may also end up obsessing and exclaiming profanities of all kinds on the first listen of Planetary Clairvoyance and many times…
