If someone had said to me at the beginning of this year that by the end of the summer I would have seen Converge for every day of a week, I would have said, if they come to the UK you bet your sweet ass I will. And I did. I travelled around a bit but I got to watch a week of seriously intense performances.
If you had said to me, Andy Parker, Brighton based photographer, you will be talking to them before they go on stage at Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, I would have looked at you all crazy eyed. If you had then said, oh yeah and you can sit on the stage with them and see if you can get something a little different to everything else. I would have laughed you into next Tuesday.
If you had, then right now I would be apologising relentlessly to you. It happened. Smoke machines, three days in a tent with little sleep, some drunk friends, 14hrs a day running around but it happened, and I am happy with what I could get under the circumstances.
I present a series of images of Converge at Sonisphere Knebworth 2010. Axe To Fall.
These castle walls, of blood and bone.
