Melting Rot live performance photos at Reggies

Melting Rot is a grindcore band from Aurora IL. Formed in 2017 and have released two EPs, A split and a Full Length.

The photo gallery featured here are photos taken at Reggies on August 14 2023 as part of Sacramentum tour coming thru Chicago.

The band played second on the bill. Photos were captured with Sony A6300 and Canon 50mm FD lens. They were then edited using lightroom with a few adjustments.

There is also some short footage of their music featured below. 

The weather was harsh as the show time approached several storms began to roll in and made it difficult for travel. Regardless of the rain which came down hard, many trooped it out and were there in time to see the performances.

Each band played a short set to accommodate for time. The show was seventeen plus and the venue wanted to make sure not to run late. Everything ran very smoothly without any issues and all the bands brought their best to the stage. 

I used PowerDirector to edit the video and audio. Audio was adjusted as I normally done in the past. Noise Gate, EQ followed by Dynamic range. The original audio comes from the camera with a low setting of six.

I have several more post from the other acts including Blood Of The Wolf, Lurid, Crossspitter and Sacramentum.

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
