Until Wednesday 13 opened for Static-X, I was unfamiliar with the band. Not knowing what to expect musically or visually, I was pleasantly surprised when both aspects of the show were well done. I think it’s well known by now that I have a thing for bands with a unique stage presence (Avatar, GWAR, Behemoth, Fleshgod Apocalypse, I’m looking at
Dope is currently touring as support for Static-X. The band put on a good show and were highly energetic with a lot of jumping around on stage. Sadly, the stage lighting was not conducive to producing high definition shots or capturing jump shots without blur. With stage lighting so dark, it makes you wonder if they’re trying to hide someone’s

Avatar!! These guys have been through Chicago a lot in the last year – and I want more. Every time they come through, they manage to blow me away. Avatar understands what it takes to put on one hell of a performance. From the setlist, to the stage setup, to the light show, Avatar knock it out of the park!
We bumped into Dark Funeral‘s Lord Ahriman earlier in the day on the elevator on the Independence of the Seas. Without his stage attire and corpse paint, the guitarist isn’t immediately recognizable, save his height, black tinted sunglasses, Sigil of Baphomet t-shirt, and necklaces hailing all that is unholy. Dark Funeral had just played a massive set the evening before
German thrash legends Sodom were in top form on 70,000 Tons of Metal. The band played two stellar sets, and it is fitting, given the contingency of Germans that make the annual voyage. All photos by Photo Editor Jason Carlson.
Death metal legends Obituary decimated fans during their two performances on 70,000 Tons of Metal. The Florida boys brought an energy that few are capable of delivering, particularly during their Pool Deck Stage set. All photos by Photo Editor Jason Carlson.
Ne Obliviscaris were the topic of many conversations on the 2019 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise. Catching one of their sets was a requirement, and Photo Editor Jason Carlson made good for us.
The United Kingdom’s Napalm Death brought their thunderous grindcore to 70,000 Tons of Metal. Despite the late addition to the lineup, they blasted audiences with fury. All photos by Photo Editor Jason Carlson.
