To finish off the last of the Devil over London photos captured last night was the headliners themselves, the almighty @devastatoruk who held their first ever headline show in the heart of the UK at the Cart and Horses in London, the birthplace of @ironmaiden
Seeing these guys perform across the country on their UK tour has been an absolute delight for me, i feel incredibly lucky and honoured to be entrusted to capture them on all of their dates so far.
Their mastery, professionalism, stage performance and everything else is absolutely top notch, they had the crowd eating out of the palm of their hands all night long.
Their legacy so far and to come will put them on the shoulders of giants very soon i have no doubt as they absolutely deserve for their hard work.

Next up on the list was the almighty @struckanerveuk always absolutely stellar, with some of the catchiest thrash riffs you will ever hear.
The crowd came forward thick and fast and i was lucky to even get close enough to the side of the stage for a few snaps.
If you ever get chance to see these on tour, i promise you they will absolutely tear your face off.

LONDON ABLAZE 🔥⚔️⛓️
Our first headline show in the capital was one to remember as die hards gathered in the birthplace of the beast for an evening of Heavy Metal Mania.
Hails to Arnö, Danny and the crew at the Cart & Horses for taking care of us, to Struck a Nerve, Rattlesnakes and Velozza for joining us on the bill and providing superb performances and finally to the London faithful for showing their unyielding dedication. We will return! 🗡️🗡️🗡️

A real treat seeing these guys live, after travelling miles from the Netherlands to get over to the UK for this opener on the Devastator headline tour, it was amazing to see a band open the night with absolute furosity!
A pleasure to shoot, check them out!

TALES FROM THE CRYPT ⚔️⛓️
Night one of the YELLOWGÖATS & SLIT THRÖATS UK run saw us perform in a more unconventional venue, underground in a thirteenth century crypt below the Norwich city streets that was once used to house the overspill of corpses struck down by the black plague.
That night those traditions were reignited in the form of Black Thrashing death worship! 🗡️🗡️🗡️
