Description I'd been dying to shoot Amon Amarth for years, largely in part due to the amazing photos I've seen of them on this site. Finally got the opportunity to do that at my favorite nearby venue... and go figure Sabaton opened and stole the show, in my honest opinion. I'd heard of them, but didn't know entirely what to expect in terms of performance, and they absolutely just blew me out of the water. Joakim is an amazing performer and a blast to photograph! Though this shot is my favorite from the night, it was the first in a series which lead to him fake picking his nose and eating it (posted on my facebook page here ). Anyway. Go see Sabaton if you get the chance.

What a great shot of Joakim. Up close and personal with his hand stretched and image reflecting on his trademark glasses. Also glad to see I am not the only one liking the band either.
It is somehow weird how some concert photos can take you in thought back to concerts you have visited yourself whereas some others are just of people you have seen on stage earlier. This is one of those making me think how it was when I saw them live... Must be good, then! And I think every Sabaton album has its moments, but my vote would go for Carolus Rex.

Okay that was a double bill that rocks. I love this shot. Very up close and personal.
But how do you get your camera into the concert. I ask becaurse I have 3 concerts
coming up in the next 6 mounth and I will love to take pictures. And you know a Dslr
is so much better that a mobilphone. And yes one of the concerts is with Sabaton.

Yeah, definitely an awesome tour line up, and thank you Kenneth!

To get your camera in, you have to request permission from the band's management or record label. They usually only grant credentials to people that will be reviewing or promoting the band in some way. I run a local online entertainment publication (www.rock-concert-photography) , so I cover shows around the area for that. 

Good luck though, they are very much fun to photograph!

What a great shot! And what a nice coincidence too: a friend of mine asked me a couple of days ago: "Hey, do you wanna come with me to see Sabaton live in February?", and I was a bit ashamed to answer: "Sabaton? Who are they?".
So I checked this group out, and literally fell in love with their last album, Heroes...

Now, I open DA and you upload this amazing shot... that's a sign from above, that means I have to go and see Sabaton live!

Thank you so much, and wow - that is a strange coincidence indeed! Definitely, definitely recommend going. The stage presence alone is worth it, though I have been listening to them since the show and really enjoying the Heroes album, also.

I love this one!
Personally, I like this one more than the one with the hand in front of his face that you shared at Facebook.

Really looking forward to shooting them in January.

Thank you! Yeah - after I finished going through them all, I wished I had posted this one instead of the other. Oh well! You will have a blast shooting them, I really do hope they come back soon.

You're welcome
Haha, that sounds familiar.
Sometimes you're just enthusiastic, and don't look at the other shots before dropping a pic online.

Yeah I indeed think it will be awesome!
Saw them at GMM earlier this year already. But still, club shows are different than festival in mood.
Also really looking forward to Avatar in December! They where amazing at Alcatraz.
