Live Photos: Into Orbit, Planet Of The Dead, Mammuthus - Valhalla, Wellington

Te Whanganui a Tara's Valhalla nobly tackled the challenge of Alert Level 2 restrictions on Saturday, hosting a triple-pronged extravaganza starring post metal duo Into Orbit, doom titans Planet Of The Dead (celebrating the recent launch of their new album Pilgrims) and stoner rock crew Mammuthus. A safely seated crowd were treated to an all-guns blazing audio-visual assault, with all three bands accompanied by projected visuals for the occasion, plus plenty of beverages available to help wash it all down with. Gig photography champion Bruce Mackay was there to capture one of the only live shows that took place in the entirety of Aotearoa last weekend — check out a gallery of his very special set of snaps by clicking on the thumbnail images below, and head along to Valhalla for even more events this weekend...
