Job For a Cowboy, Gwar, and Lamb of God @ The Wellmont

Let me start this blog by saying this was one of the most entertaining shows I have been to in a while. What a line-up. Job For a Cowboy jump started the show. This was my third time seeing them this year, and they have not disappointed in the slightest. I am happy that there are more death metal bands out there. It is making quite the comeback and I am glad. When I was in college at the University of Florida, I remember spending many of my weekends down in the Tampa area seeing some great death metal acts. Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Dying Fetus were only a few. Job For a Cowboy take it into the next century and bring a modern flair to a music I grew up loving.





I will admit that I was a Gwar virgin before this show. They were everything I thought they were going to be. I was so scared that I was going to soak my camera, but alas, I just got some blood or other bodily fluid on it. What a fantastic subject to take pics of. I have to say that Oderus' Cuttlefish of Cthulhu was a little intimdating at first, but made a fascinating subject. I think I got some kick ass pics of it. Blood, guts, cum.. sprayed all over the crowd and myself. Now I call that a show.



Then last, but not least, Lamb of God hits the stage. Mark Morton did not play a few dates on the tour, so Doc from God Forbid filled in for him. What a fun fill in that was! I was joking around with friends calling the temporary line up Lamb Forbid or God of God. I think Doc did a great job of filling in for Mark, which is not an easy thing to do. I got some great shots of the band and I had fun jamming out with them. I have to say I took one of my best shots at this show and it happened to be of Doc

God Forbid blows the crowd away in Tampa

Out of all the pictures I took in Tampa for the Mayhem festival, I think I like the God Forbid batch as a whole. I got some great pics of every member and that is a rare feat for me! This one of Byron really knocks my socks off. I love the detail, colors, and the overall feel of the pic:


Doc shows off his new guitar in this one.. he is looking hot with his new hot guitar!

Here John looks like heaven is shining down on him

This pic of Corey is self explanatory

And last but not least.. Matt.. God Forbid's new addition.. A nice seamless transition

The entire album for this show can be found at God Forbid

First Show, First Band- God Forbid at the Roseland May 8th, 2009

How appropriate that the first band I photograph as "Tormentia Photography" is God Forbid. This band will always hold a very special place in my heart. They are talented musicians that deserve more recognition than the industry has given them as of yet. I am proud to call them friends.
