All good things must come to an end and the final band to be hitting the MTelus stage on Thursday night was Amon Amarth. The band first formed in the late 1980's, though under a different name, but changed styles back in the early 90s and have been singing about history and Viking mythology ever since. It was through their management that I was able to get a pass to shoot photographs for the night, and for that I am very thankful. They were touring their eleventh and most recent album, Berzerker, which was released in May of this year. They had the sold-out crowd sing the lyrics right back at them all night and in something that I rarely see, nearly all of their merchandise that had been for sale during the evening had been sold out. They claimed to have really enjoyed their Montreal experience, and I tend to believe them. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/1250sec, ISO 3200 at 35mm. Here are several more that I took of their performance.

With that, a memorable night of music and photography came to an end. Thanks once again to Jenny Douglas and the gang at 5B Artist Management for getting me a pass to shoot the show. It was very much appreciated. If you'd like to see the shots of the other bands who performed (Grand Magus, At The Gates & Arch Enemy) follow the links to see what I saw. Speaking of links, if you'd like to find out more about Amon Amarth and their music, don't forget to follow the link to their website.
