Preview: Anaal Nathrakh
Friday night, I got the chance to shoot legendary blackened grind kings Anaal Nathrakh at The Well in Leeds. Here’s a quick preview of what ended up being quite a tough shoot. The full set will be posted later this week.

Head was one of the featured bands at the Exit show at the Thomas & Mack Arena in Las Vegas.
