Northlane @ The Annex Wreckroom, December 12th, 2013

Well I think this was more of a fight to the front than a photo shoot (haha).  Freelance photographer Melyssa Anishnabie was very helpful to AFGM last week when she decided to take photos for Australian metal group Northlane as they invaded Toronto along with Veil of Maya, Struc/tures, Vildhjarta, and Here Comes the Kracken.

"There were a few of us out in the crowd desperately clutching our cameras to our chests in fear. Haha. I was able to get up by the speaker at the front left of the stage but couldn't get close enough to actually get shots without getting thrown into the mosh pit or kicked in the head by crowd surfers or getting water dumped on me."


So that being said, I can understand that photo gear comes first and foremost.  No point in putting your camera in dangers way if you're likely to have it trashed by the crowd surfers and moshers.  Nonetheless, she pulled off some great shots for the limited stage view the Annex Wreckroom has to offer.  Cheers!





"We walk around blinded like children in the dark
So cold and so empty, how did this even start
It’s time to remember what it’s like to feel alive
Feel alive! Set me free! Set me free!"
