Love and pain

Here's another post from the sunny days of summer ... well okay, the rainy days of summer. The big news on the local metal scene was that Loviatar was signed by Prosthetic Records (a highly regarded label out of Los Angeles, host to such outfits as Skeletonwitch and the early home of Lamb of God). They recorded their own full-length debut and had their hometown release show at House of Targ at the end of July. Ultra Love and Species at Risk started things off. Here's UL's Pascale!

I only got a handful of Species at Risk photos (I can't remember why - maybe the lighting conditions were just too poor), but here they are, starting with some guitar action from Simon!

On to Loviatar, who gave their newest, self-titled release, a fine introduction to the world. Here's Justin!

A well-deserved step toward greater recognition for the band.
