The Lens of Akasha

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 🧑🏻‍💻

Looking after guitars again for @aaronintervals & the guys on this rip supporting @karnivool_official

At MetalCon you can actually experience gear in action like in the fabulous „Re-Amping World“ where you dial in your custom guitar tone with different amps and microphones. All connected by Klotz cables and an MOTU AVB interface. @motutech @klemmmusic @fryetteamps @cottonmusicsupply @harrisonaudio @klotzcables

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 !

Our last show in Munich playing the @tonhallemunchen for the ‘Duél’ tour with @jinjer_official and @unprocessedband was nothing short of wunderbar! Thanks to all of you making our return to the lands of Bavaria a great one! We will see you soon once more. After a refreshing break we can’t wait to hit the stage again tonight in Budapest, Hungary at the @barbanegrahungary . Találkozunk ma este, Budapest! Gyerünk!! Doors: 18:00hr TEXTURES SHOWTIME: 18:45hr 📷 @thelensofakasha

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 😂

2025 summarised 📸 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! 👋🏻🐙 Big thanks to everyone for supporting and encouraging my concert photography ✨ 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 🙏🏻 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. #photography #concertphotography #metalconcertphotography #metalhead #metalmusic

The caravan has entered GERMANY 🇩🇪 Munich brought the heat yesterday, hyped for Frankfurt tonight!! 📸: @thelensofakasha

It's hard to find the words to express how happy I am right now. This weekend was truly special, and I'll never take it for granted that after two years of immense uncertainty - we had the chance to experience @voyagerau headlining my husband's festival @euroblast_official 10 years after they first played this event on the basement stage in the early afternoon. As always, the time together felt far too short, and right now I'm still processing what a huge weekend this was. But I want to thank everyone involved in making this a core memory, and to Voyager for bringing such light and love into mine and everyone else's lives. Euroblast has been a fundamental part of my life and career for over 10 years now, and I have my husband @john_sprich and @daniel_djentify to thank for bringing together this incredible community of like-minded people and music and for creating such a special event. And it wouldn't be what it is today without the tireless work of @anahitani as well 🫶 And it was great to have @amaliacicala along for her first ever Euroblast and to have her guys in @benthos_official also make their festival debut! I'll have many more posts to share in the coming weeks, but I'm also grateful to everyone who helped capture these memories so I can also live a bit more in the moment :) more soon 🫶 @fragilegold @thelensofakasha @yngwie.vanhoucke

Here are some phenomenal shots from our show at @posthalle_wue - @thelensofakasha masterfully captured the epicness and essence of what was a very special night. (Also pay attention to the light-magic our wonderful light designer @neoncygenta created. It's really a privilege to work with such talented people all around!) #Soulsplitter #würzburg #neobliviscaris #precipitation #progmetal

Many thanks to the fantastic @thelensofakasha for the great picture during Rotting Christ at Partysan 🫶 A new super talented photographer and a great person through and through ❤️ Sometimes it’s good to change your perspective. The shots from the Friday recap for Partysan at 0:55 were taken in exactly that moment. #partysanmetalopenair #partysan #hellishere #nosleepsinceschlotheim #videoshoot #behindthescenes
