H.I.M at Irving Plaza 12/9/14

His Infernal Majesty, one of the BIGGEST bands I loved as a teenager and NEVER got to photograph was finally granted to me by Broken Records Magazine (Brokenrecordsonline.com). The day after my Long Island invasion to photograph Korn (2nd day in a week), I was back again at Webster Hall to capture this amazing night. Unfortunately, His Infernal Majesty should of called this tour “His Inferior Lighting” because Motionless in White and the opening act were ALL IN THE DARK. I was not satisfied with my results from those two, but the H.I.M photos are fantastic. Check them out and the set-list below.
