Since the mighty year 2011 is already over, I decided to write down a few lines concerning the whole past year and also to post a photogallery with a selection containing some interesting pics I took during the past 12 months…

As you probably noticed, I was kinda inactive from autumn on, since I just felt it’s time to take a break and fully concern myself on something else. BUT! ...I promise things will change with the beginning of 2012!

So… how was the year 2011 through the eyes of the one behing the lens of Metalpictures.net?.
I was more than pleased to take photos at various territories of 7 countries of this world (not much, compared to the multi-busy 2010) of about 75 different bands. I posted online almost 2000 photos from this year (counting only the ones from music events) in more than 100 photogalleries… so, that’s just the year mentioned in numbers.

So far, one of the most enjoyable moments in 2011 was to finally shoot the mighty At the Gates in Finland! I also enjoyed taking photos of Nevermore, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Katatonia, Arch Enemy, Epica, and finally, a band I was really looking forward to picture, Leprous. So these are some highlights and apart from that, I can recomend you seeing these bands on stage, if you once have the chance! ;)

Wish you all a good start in 2012!
