Beautiful time at the House of the Holy π€
The mountains in Austria is always a lovely place to be π€

Check out my new photography page @thelensofakasha ! πΈ
Over the past year and the ~50 Metal shows that I've been to, I've been trying my hand at some photography (as hobby and with phone), and I figured it was high time to have a page dedicated to that π
I shared a first selection of some photos from @alkaloid_metal , @lampr3a
and @exodusbandofficial . More coming!

What a Summer!
The highlight has definitely got to be all the Alkaloid shows π₯ Always an absolute pleasure to see them π
1 show left in fall (with orchestra) and 3 in winter (together with @obsidious_band , @asphagorofficial and @abstractyssofficial ). The upcoming cold season is looking wondrous!
I know I always talk about Alkaloid but damn do they play some top-class cosmological goodness π€

Spring's been buzzing! πΈπ€π»
TLDR; MetalCon, Machine Head, Rock Me Vienna, Triptykon, Kreator, Metal Business Club, Mostly Metal Events / Prog Metal Mania π Follow @thelensofakasha for more β¨
In between crazy busy work*, April had some space with particular photo shootings - beyond grateful to get to capture such and delighted to get to collaborate with amazing fellows.
Main highlights:
- @metalcon.music
- @machine_head
- @rockmevienna_guitar_experience
I also had the chance to make some clicks of @triptykonofficial at @darkeastermetalmeetingmunich and of @kreatorofficial during their Krushers of the World tour.
Another interesting event was the launch of the @metalbusinessclub chapter in Munich - a network of entrepreneurs who happen to share the passion of heavy music.
Last but not least, a very special mention for @mostly_metal events (the head behind @progmetalmania ) with Prog gems almost every month!
Thanks to the great crews/organisers/artists for making this possible - @ingo_producer_network , @2kcmusic , @martinkames / @martinkamescom , @alexander_ghezzo , @gudrun_ghezzo , @linusklausenitzer , @melodiesofahauntedheart , @hannesgrossmann , @vsantura , @visual_evidence , @ronniescarnato , Felix Heintz, @davidbrinks , @sym246 ππ»

ROCK ME VIENNA (APR 26)
A set of portraits I did during the final concert of the 4-day guitar camp at Hilton Vienna Waterfront πΈ
It was a special one, with a nice combination of guitarists (+ bassists & drummer) on stage in an intimate setting, and meeting familiar faces from the @ibanez_germany Guitar Festival (from last year when I shot the Paul Gilbert show) β¨
I was only attending this time but couldn't help to bring my camera for some casual clicks of this great lineup!
Hats off to @gudrun_ghezzo and @alexander_ghezzo for bringing @rockmevienna_guitarcamp together. Looking forward to the next edition π€

It's been 3 good months since this small tour with @alkaloid_metal - and busy quarters with work! It was a very interesting week-end getting to shoot my absolute favourite band around Karlsruhe, ZΓΌrich and Landshut, earlier this year - starting photography seriously in 2025 served well π
March was also the 11th anniversary of their debut album, The Malkuth Grimoire, which was actually my introduction to them with Cthulhu in 2021 π
Altogether this was a full-circle moment - grateful for their music, camaraderie, and the chance to finally put my camera on them. Here's to more! π€
2026 concert year started right πΈπ
Thanks to @alkaloid_metal for having me behind the lens throughout the week-end! Photos on @thelensofakasha .
Btw, if you like excellent Progressive Death Metal, go check them out - their new live album, Bach Out Of Bounds, is coming out this Friday. Imagine Bach, but in Prog Death, and with orchestra - they definitely live up to being Metalβs maddest scientists π€
Also go check their individual work - Florian Magnus Maier (Morean), @linusklausenitzer , @hannesgrossmann / @hannesgrossmannmordorsounds , @ontheblok and @justin.hombach . A mention for @christian_muenzner who wrote material on the previous albums.
P.S. It was such a busy week-end that the closest of having a photo together was the BTS of me taking a group photo π
@alkaloid_metal at @mehsuff last night π€π»
Final stop in Landshut today π₯

2025 summarised πΈ
Back from the time-space continuum of the new year switch - 2026 announcing right up with the @alkaloid_metal mini-tour this week-end. Come say hi! ππ»π
Big thanks to everyone for supporting and encouraging my concert photography β¨
Special thanks to those who provide the opportunity - musicians, crew, event organisers, artist managers, photographers, and magazines! I look forward to continue supporting the scene with the art that I am able to make thanks to the art that you make possible ππ»
A mention for @behindthelenscltv for providing a platform for womxn of colour in the field!
Last but not least, thanks to the special person who supported me hugely with my gear and the passion altogether.

DEFEATED SANITY yesterday at Augsburg (Aug 25) π₯
The Chronicles of Lunacy tour p.2 is reaching towards an end and this Brutal Tech Death quartet has been tearing through EU this Summer!
I had the pleasure to shoot them for the second time, now with my new camera. Thanks @defeated_sanity_official for having me behind the lens once more πΈ
P.S. Who's going to Brutal Assault, make sure to catch them on the Saturday at 9.50 p.m. (Obscure stage) β¨
