Behemoth, Azarath, Hermh & Black River @ Stodoła, Warszawa – 25 IX 2009

After seeing the photos from Kala and Fotogrip, I’ve decided to show some of my Behemoth stuff – pics from their new tour.

I’m not really into metal that much – I like some bands, I look forward to some of the gigs but not really a metal fan. Concerts however change my perception of the bands material and, sometimes, want me to dig deeper into their discography. Hermh got me interested into into their work, as I really have a craving for a good black metal once in a while. Behemoth on the other hand pulled out a great show – lots of energy, fire, crazy lights. Felt really good not only watching but listening to their music. I strongly recommend you go and see the guys. In his review, Zbyszek Zegler wrote, that Behemoth reached the world class of musician and could easily compete with the best of the genre. As I said before, I’m not that much into metal, but the gig was one of the best I’ve seen in a while.

Oh, and if any concert promoter is reading this (I know you are!) please take Wolves In The Throne Room out from their forest and explain that concerts are good. Really.

After what I’ve read and heard photographing Behemoth in Stodoła was an easy task – less light and worst conditions were in other clubs. Except from the fact that we had a camera installed in front of us, which was going left-to-right. Annoying, but challenging stuff. What amazed me, I flicked through the pics one more time, after 2 weeks there were made and discovered some shots I thought were boring and not worth using. Some small changes and adjustments made them into one of my favourite pics from this half of the year!

You can see some different photos and a more detailed review by Zbyszek Zegler here.

The photos were done, both, for Wp.pl. And if you are interested in buying any of the photos for a publication, please contact us.
