After all of these months of COVID related delays, closures and cancellations, I was in need of a good shake and Sepultura was just the band to deliver it. The veteran metal band from Brazil has seen many member changes over the years, in fact only guitarist Andreas Kisser and bassist Paulo Jr. remain from when I first started listening to them, but still proudly carry on their loud legacy. Their most recent tour in support of their 2020 album Qudra arrived in Montreal this past Thursday where they headlined a show at the Théâtre Corona. The crowd came out early for the sold-out concert, so it is safe to say that I was probably not the only one in need of a good shake. The band did not disappoint. In the opening seconds I could already feel my insides shaking and I needed to remind myself a few times not to lean against the stage while taking my photos because the vibrations were large enough to cause some camera shake issues. That seems like a good measure of a metal band. They're too loud to be photographed. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8 1/1000sec, ISO 3200 at 24mm. Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.

If you'd like to find out more about Sepultura and their music, don't forget to follow the link to their website. Also, a big thank you to Mr. Rodrigo Abbecia for getting me a photo pass for the show. If you'd like to see the other photographs that I took of Art Of Shock and Sacred Reich, you can do so by following the links. This concert also provided an additional feel good moment for Your
Friendly Neighbouhood Photographer. The last time Sepultura came to town, I
had to sneak my camera in to try and get a few shots. This time, I was
right there in the pit with all of the other photographers and there was
no other place that I would have wanted to be.
