The spectacle of blazing lights and smoke matched perfectly with the sonic hailstorm the band brought to the stage. In recent years, 9:30 Club has shied away from booking many heavy bands, and Architects’ set was the perfect re-introduction of a raging mosh pit to the venue’s storied floor.
Plague Vendor were openers for a recent All Them Witches show at the Rock & Roll Hotel in Washington D.C. Here's our collection of shots from a fantastic set from the group.
When Metalheads descended upon Merriweather Post Pavilion on a Tuesday night for Slayer’s “final tour", in true fashion, the band literally chose to go down, or up for that matter, in hot shooting flames. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.

Arkells eased into the energy of the evening with their driving track “Relentless” off 2018’s 'Rally Cry.' For most bands, a song like this would have left the energy nowhere to go but crashing down—but Arkells are not most bands, and their fans are not most crowds.

Dawes' live show remains the group’s true apotheosis: a rowdy, rollicking good time that wanders at will through their 10-year, 6-album career while retooling old favorites, debuting unheard tracks, and pulling the crowd together in anthemic sing-alongs. Check out our full collection of shots from the show.
