IBANEZ GUITAR FESTIVAL (May 25) What a wonderful time celebrating guitar culture at the Ibanez Guitar Festival the week-end before! 🔥 The highlight was definitely the headline show, with none other than the legendary guitarist @paulgilbert_official (Mr Big, Racer X), accompanied by @linusklausenitzer (Alkaloid, Obsidious, ex-Obscura) on bass and @paulseideldrums (Nightmarer, ex The Ocean) on drums, which I had the honour to shoot. Thanks to @linusklausenitzer and @ibanez_germany for having me! 🙏 📸 @thelensofakasha #ibanezguitarfestival #igf2025 #paulgilbert #linusklausenitzer #paulseidel #ibanez #ibanezgermany #guitarfestival #guitarcommunity #concertphotography #rockconcert

DEFEATED SANITY yesterday at Augsburg (Aug 25) 🔥 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 📸 P.S. Who's going to Brutal Assault, make sure to catch them on the Saturday at 9.50 p.m. (Obscure stage) ✨ 📸 @thelensofakasha / @akasharojee #defeatedsanity #deathmetal #technicaldeathmetal #brutaldeathmetal #brutaltechnicaldeathmetal #chroniclesoflunacy #seasonofmist #metalconcertphotography #metalconcert #techdeath

PANZERBALLETT at their open rehearsal in Munich (May 25) ✨ Last Thursday evening @panzerballett_official welcomed around 45 people at @_mastermixstudio_ in Unterföhring while they performed a final run through the set of the "Übercode Œuvre" tour. It was an intimate atmosphere with excellent music and passionate listeners. The new album truly takes Panzerballett's mind-bending fusion of Progressive Metal, Classical, and Jazz, to new heights, featuring amazing drummers such as Virgil Donati, @marcominnemann , @anika.nilles , and @sebastian_lanser , among others, and mixed by @vsantura (Woodshed Studios). Tour line-up: @jan.zehrfeld (guitar), @thevirgildonati (drums), @antondavidyants (bass), @rafaeltrujillo_official (guitar) and @florianfennes (saxophone) Enjoy a set of photos of the exclusive event! Thanks to the band and Rafael Trujillo for having me behind the lens 🙏 📸 P.S. Panzerballett plays in Berlin tonight and Vienna this Saturday. Definitely worth catching if you like Progressive Metal and Jazz fusion! #panzerballett #ubercodeoeuvre #progressivemetal #jazzfusion #prog #jazz #janzehrfeld #virgildonati #antondavidyants #rafaeltrujillo #florianfennes #musicphotography #metalconcertphotography

Spring's been buzzing! 📸🤘🏻 TLDR; MetalCon, Machine Head, Rock Me Vienna, Triptykon, Kreator, Metal Business Club, Mostly Metal Events / Prog Metal Mania 😁 Follow @thelensofakasha for more ✨ 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 🙏🏻 #metalheads #metalmusic #metalphotography #metalcommunity #metalscene ------------------------------------------------------------ *Tell me you're a software engineer without telling me you're a software engineer in this age of "technological advancements" 🤪 Okay back to more engineering work now bye 🧑🏻‍💻

Last to post, but still smiling when I am thinking about these specialdays earlier this month! It was truly a magical atmosphere at @rockmevienna_guitarcamp - no egos, just a room full of people hungry to learn from each other. A massive thank you to the Ghezzo family for having me, and to Ibanez Germany for the support. 📸 Shoutout to the photographer @thelensofakasha !

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 📸 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) ✨ 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 🤘 📸 @thelensofakasha / @akasharojee #rockmevienna #guitarcamp #guitarist #musicphotography #rockmusic

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, Zürich and Landshut, earlier this year - starting photography seriously in 2025 served well 🙂 March was also the 11th anniversary of their debut album, The Malkuth Grimoire, which was actually my introduction to them with Cthulhu in 2021 🐙 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! 🤘

2026 concert year started right 📸🐙 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 Metal’s maddest scientists 🤘 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 😂
