A few years ago I had the pleasure of visiting Calgary for what is now a defunct, but legendary metal festival, called Noctis. It ran for six years, then the organizer decided to hang her hat up and call it day. The year I was able to attend saw some truly incredible performances, including one by metal titans Venom, pictured above. I somehow managed to con security at the Mac Hall into letting me in with my camera, despite cameras only being allowed to members of the press, and came away from the three day festival with thousands of photos of some of my favourite bands.
