Preview: Akercocke
Another year, and another Damnation festival. Every year it gets bigger and better, and this time around, I had the pleasure of shooting the entire thing. Here’s a quick taster of our old friends Akercocke, doing their thing on the Terrorizer Stage (and seemingly wearing very shiny earrings). There should be a raft of posts from the day up here before you know it. Bam!

Anaal Nathrakh
Last Friday I got the chance to shoot Anaal Nathrakh at The Well (formerly Joseph’s Well) in Leeds. The legends from Birmingham rarely tour, so I was delighted to get a chance to shoot them on one of their scarce gigs. Needless to say, mayhem ensued.
