Photos: A Night of Metal Mayhem @ 4Play
03.24.11 A cut lip, a nice headache & a week of restricted neck movement are just a few things I gained after showing up to last week’s Night of Metal at 4Play. Although I arrived a bit late & left before the final band had a chance to destroy my eardrums any further, I still managed to capture a few images to show what a dandy old time I had thrashing around in front of the stage with camera in-tow. Photos of Before Fire, Upon Golgotha, Nesta and Jesus Wears Armani after this.

Hellraiser
Hellraiser @ Sand Island R&B
01.23.10 One more in the name of metal. Had a hell of a time supporting my friends Before Fire @ Sand Island R&B. One of the few if not “the ONLY quality death metal band” worth seeing in the islands. (more…)
Before Fire: in the beginning
Before Fire @ the Loft
12.26.09 Still pretty pissed off about Warbringer canceling their Hawaii dates, I had quite a bit of angst that needed to be released. Thank the metal gods Before Fire always deliver. (more…)
Auditory Juggernauts Pt. VI
Before Fire @ Pipeline Cafe
11.12.09 “GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE!” commanded Before Fire’s frontman, Lowell Gerry, to the remaining members of the audience who attempted to escape to the back of Pipeline Cafe. “I WILL FIGHT ANYONE HERE WHO WALKS AWAY!”
Brutality, Before Fire embodies it. (more…)
Before Fire Showcase
Here’s a few shots from Before Fire’s showcase at Sand Island R&B. Its nice to know there’s still a place were a guy can go to lose 50% of his hearing and 75% of his neck movement in a single night. Good times. (more…)
Whiplash
Say what you will about the island’s music scene going down the tubes, but every now and then a band will surprise you. There’s always that one band you can latch on that makes you eat your words. Anna Bannana’s held yet another Metalfest a few months back. (more…)
