Press coverage was very deep for this show with almost every photographer I know joining me in the pit for sweaty documentation of the event. The first two bands were just great, with Idles Hands sounding like early raw ‪Alice In Chains‬ on a dimly lit stage. After Idles Hands, the English bandRead More →

KAMELOT w/ Battle Beast and Sonata Arctica The Palladium Worcester, Massachusetts September 13, 2019 Photos & Review by Michael LaFleche Worcester was thoroughly rocked on a full moon Friday the 13th night at the vaunted Palladium with KAMELOT with special guest Lauren Hart headlining a killer power metal lineup including Battle Beast and Sonata Arctica. First up was Noora Louhimo and Battle Beast of Finland. I am beginning to think all the good music lately comes from Scandinavia… Battle Beast’s brand of viking infused power metal is upbeat and full of good energy. The music is extremely contagious and the live production was great. EveryRead More →
