At The Gates At MTelus

Our second band of the night was one of the originators of the Swedish heavy metal scene, At The Gates.  Though they formed in the early 1990's, they've taken several breaks during the following years.  Their most recent break ended in 2014 and they're touring in support of their most recent album, 2018's To Drink From The Night Itself.  They were full of energy and the crowd was lurching to and fro to every song.  Their song also featured the first crowd surfer of the night.  An additional obstacle for us photographers to keep our eyes open for.  The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/400sec, ISO 3200 at 27mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took during their performance.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but they earned some points with me for wearing the t-shirts of local legends Voivod, but based on the crowd reactions, no bonus points were really needed for those who were already there.  To find out more about At The Gates and their music, follow the link to their website.
