By the photography Gods in the sky and namely Adrenaline PR, I was granted the golden opportunity to shoot The Rockstar Mayhem Festival in Hartford, CT this past Sunday on July 21st, 2013. This is my second major festival (First going to RockStar Uproar 2012, but First Main Stage Approval) as a photographer for Metalinsider.net. Bands that were NOT covered are as follows: Emmure, Job for a Cowboy, Attika 7, Thrown Into Exile and Sumerian Stage.. Massive coverage is down below as well as METALINSIDER.NET. Set Times from the day of the show are also posted below. The best part of this album were meeting with my brothers in Battlecross who treated me with such respect and dignity. It pays to be humble in this business and they were true class acts throughout. The WORST part of this event was the MASSIVE sand and dirt piles in the festival stages. Once the mosh pits picked up the sand and gravel begin a tornado effect causing photographers and bands on stage to stagger and seek cover during the 3 song rule in which we all had to follow in the photo pit. Set times for the Hartford date are posted along with the memorabilia added to my extensive collection and pictures below.
