Divine Fits, 10/14/2012, Treasure Island Music Festival, San Francisco

My second festival for the year. I selected this shot for the week out of about 15 bands I shot. During the set of Dinive Fits the sun set directly behind the band and the light was just beautiful. The light was actually so awesome that some of the shots look like they are shot in a studio.
Miland 'Mille' Petrozza and Sami Yli-Sirniö of Kreator, 9/25/2012, The Regency Ballroom, San Francisco

Another impossible week to choose photos from. I shot Serj Tankian, Swallow The Sun, Accept, Kreator, Obituary and few smaller bands. I ended up not selecting the best shot of the week, but the one that has the most meaning to me. Kreator band has a special place in my heart for few reasons. One of the first metal albums I had was Extreme Aggression which I still listen to regularly. Additionally it has Finnish guitarist Sami Yli-Sirniö, who is also known for his work in Waltari.
Tyr, 9/11/2012, DNA Lounge, San Francisco

It's not every week you get photos of half naked rockers from Faroe Islands. Tyr is one of very few bands that have more fans on Facebook than the whole population of their home country. This folk-metal band takes old Norse tales and turns them into metal songs. They have been getting more and more popular around the world and signed record deal with Metal Blade Records right after the tour where I had the privilege to photograph them.
