Ooh look... More @interarmamusic at @roadburnfest playing another secret set, this time in the ubiquitous skate park and covering Neil Young tracks. Never had to shoot while slipping down a skate ramp. Such a killer time!! ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit - DM for promotional use🙏 #interarama #neilyoung #roadburn #roadburnskatepark #skatepark #rockandroll #gigphotographer #gigphotography #scrlapp

Final band of Saturday, and indeed the last band I shot (sob) @roadburnfest @bloodincantationofficial doing a rifftasic heavy on the psychedelia death metal sets of beloved classics. A fantastic and hyper end (before heading off to a sick rave) \m/ ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit and DM for promotional use 🙏 #bloodincantation #roadburn2024 #deathmetalband #gigphotographer #gigphotography #scrlapp #sonya7riii

This song, and indeed album, will always hit hard. @cultleadermusic were simply phenomenal performing the whole of A Patient Man plus some new tracks @roadburnfest . After being broken and running from Khanate they were still brutal, but in the most beautifully and uplifting cathartic of ways. A true tour de force 🖤 ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit and DM for promotional use 🙏 #cultleader #apatientman #sludgehardcore #postmetal #gigphotographer #gigphotography #livemusicphotography #musicfestivalphotography #roadburnfestival #roadburn2024 #darktonesphotography #sonya7riii #scrlgallery #scrlapp

@officialkhanate at @roadburnfest was so intense it actually broke me. A next level cathartic experience for sure. ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit, DM for any promotional use. #khanate , #stephenomalley #roadburn2024 #tobecruel #drone #doom #extrememetalband #cathartic #concertphotography #concertphotographer #sonya7riii #blackandwhitephotography

Resuming @roadburnfest posts! Not much left to go. This is @lankumdublin who played to a packed crowd on the main stage on Saturday. Rousing, emotional and anarchic, refreshingly different dirgey Irish folk. An absolute joy to witness, and another who made a heartwrenching tribute to Palestine. Thank you 🙏🇵🇸 ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit - DM for promotional use and let's talk! #freepalestine , #ceasefirenow #alleyesonrafah #lankum #lankumdublin #concertphotography #concertphotographer #roadburn #roadburn2024 , #sonya7riii , #scrlgallery

A quick preview of some of my fave shots of Saturday (that I've noticed so far) the almighty @regardeleshommestomber . Absolutely ecstatic exhilaration watching these guys decimate the Ocean Room! Massive congratulations to thanks and congratulations to @reaperagencyuk For an incredivky successful fest! ©Darktones Photography // Abi Coulson Please share with credit.

@agriculture_music played a sublime set of 'ecstatic black metal' in The Terminal stage on Saturday at @roadburnfest A joyous and transcendental, truly jaw dropping experience. Incredible that they only just released their debut ep last year. Watch out for this stellar band from L.A!! ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography DM for promotional share and share with credit @astralnoize @theflenser #agriculture #ecstaticblackmetal #blackmetal #blackmetalphotography #concertphotography #roadburn #sonya7riii #scrlgallery

After a week away in London for Desertfest I am resuming posts!! I have always been a huge fan of @subrosaslc (and been lucky to shoot them twice!) so when I realised the founding member @rebeccakvernon was performing with new project at @thekeeningmusic I had to go and see them on the main stage at @roadburnfest on Saturday. I have had this stunning accompanying song 'Little Bird' in my head since I heard it a few days prior to @roadburnfest , and STILL frequently get a lump in my throat when I hear it. Another beautiful band that also made a tribute to Palestine. Thank you 🇵🇸 For truly stunning orchestral funereal folky doom go check them out 🖤 ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit and DM for promo use 🙏 #freepalestine #ceasefirenow #palestine #fromtherivertothesea #doommetalmusic #folkdoom #violin #femalemusician #thekeening #rebeccavernon #concertphotography #concertphotographer #roadburn #littlebird #sonya7riii @scrlgallery #scrl #scrlgallery

I thought these pictures ought to be posted alone. @sunrot.music making a stand at @roadburnfest . Some people didn't like it, fuck those guys. The loveliest people making the most brutal music that brings a lump to your throat (ok, full on meltdown) and stands up to oppression. Thank you for doing what is right 🇵🇸🍉🏳️‍⚧️☮️ Just to be clear for those whom with to antagonize.. fuck genocide EVERYWHERE. It is Palestine that is in the mist jeopardy and faces the most apathy and disdain by governments all over the world, the corrupt shit stirring media doesn't help. There is no hate for Israeli people, just those complicit in these atrocities over the last **** 75 YEARS**** for those in the back. ©please share with credit 🙏 #ceasfirenow #fuckgenocide #fuckstarbucks #boycottisraeliapartheid #fuckoppression #fuckthepatriarchy #gayrightsarehumanrights #lgbtqia #freepalestine #fromtherivertothesea #sunrot #protest #gigphotographer #roadburn #sonya7riii #darktonesphotography

@couch.slut at @roadburnfest at The Terminal on Saturday were SOMETHING ELSE. What a way to wake up after a late night, though with far less sleep than the ( apparently sleep deprived still drunk) vocalist Megan - munching on a croissant while tearing her soul apart with gut wrenching roars, pounding her head with a mic and telling spine chilling tales the singer herself ! Disturbing, emotional, poignant and powerful as fuck. @brutalpandarecords @madosztrosits ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit, DM for promotional use 🙏 #couchslut #roadburn2024 #theterminal #sludge #metal #concertphotography #concertphotographer #gigphotographer #darktonesphotography #livemusicphotography #sonya7riii #scrlgallery

Resharing cos Instagram did a sneaky crop I didn't notice :( The Engine Hall crowd at @roadburnfest got freaky with LAs @_patriarchy_ who closed out Friday night, with a kinky performance from husband and wife duo Actually, and Drummer Boy. Heavy electronic beats with an industrial metal vibe. ©Abi Coulson // Darktones Photography Please share with credit and DM for promotional use 🙏 @actuallyhuizenga @_patriarchy_ @roadburnfest #patriarchy #roadburn2024 #electronica #industrialmetal #gigphotographer #gigphotography #concertphotography #a7riii #darktonesphotography #scrlgallery

The chaos of this collage sums up the hectic and awesome energy of @rottensoundgrind and the crowd at the @thejunctionplymouth last night. I was sent flying several times due to some unruly meat heads and unfortunately my flash ended up getting snapped off my camera. I was helped up by some lovely women in the crowd (several times ) and never by said burly meat heads. Yes it's part of the territory and occupational hazard but in 10 years it's my first gear injury. Some folk don't quite get the etiquette of metal gigs and moshing. Still nursing a bangover but will be organising a fundraiser via buy me a coffee if anyone could help out to replace the broken flash gun :( More pics to come ! Anyways what a sick night of blast beats and riffs galore. I'll no doubt be counting the bruises over the next few days. 😂Thank you so much to @kaos_rotten for sorting me out and generally being a great and compassionate dude, despite the terrifying stage presence 🖤 @seasonofmistofficial ©Please share with credit 🙏 #rottensoundgrind #rottensound #grindcore #livemusic #plymouthmusicscene #plymouthmetalmusiclive #plymouthphotographer #darktonesphotography #a7riii #godox #sonygmaster85
