Despite arriving late to the show, we still got some shots off and did a interview with Steve Brooks!

Wrenched from the maw of chaos, METAL ABOMINATION 2010 was both successful and fun! Plus, check out the first D90 shots of the year.

The first band of the evening, and quite a short set. I snapped the most pictures during High On Fire, unfortunately sucking up most of my battery life. Well, that’s what I get for forgetting to charge my batteries beforehand. I gotta say, for the only shirtless guy that night, Matt Pike has quite a belly on him! If he wasn’t a legendary ultra-badass, that would probably work against him.

I tried to take as many pictures as possible with the camera before it died completely. You’ll notice an ever-so-slight difference in quality with the shots taken with my Blackberry Storm. I at least got a couple close-ups of the great Brendon Small, one of my heroes for so many reasons.

Maybe it was due to the earplugs, but this was probably my best experience with Converge to date. Live, they leave it all on stage, positively radiating energy across the crowd. Despite being my least favorite of the four bands that night, they were easily the most entertaining to watch.
