Live Photos: Beastwars - San Fran, Wellington

Wellington metal monsters Beastwars are roaring through their New Zealand album release tour as we speak. Last night at Pōneke’s San Fran they blew away the crowd and literally blew up the bass amps(!) at the first show of the tour, the night before their fourth studio album IV went live. Ace Hunt (Cortina, Reptilian Future Cops) met up with band members Matt Hyde and Nathan 'Nato' Hickey recently to discuss the album - read up on the first part of the interview here. Photographer Bruce Mackay went along last night (and is going back for more tonight) to capture the evening in a series of breathtaking photos of Beastwars in action + support act Witchskull.
