In This Moment- Sherman Theater, PA 11/22/14

In This Moment brought their "Black Widow Tour" to the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, PA. Support opening the show was 3 Pill Morning, Starset and Twelve Foot Ninja.

Black Widow is the new release and fifth album from In This Moment. It was there highest charting album to date and landed at #8 overall. They seem to be gaining popularity everyday with a lot of support coming from the Octane channel on Sirius/XM radio.

This was my third time seeing and shooting these guys and the band sounds tighter than ever. The stage show has a similar setup to the Hellpop Tour but more than half the show is new costumes, set pieces and songs. There is a brand new center stage for Maria and her blood dancers with a large spider web, a cage and giant winged capes to name a few of the new surprises. No band right now is putting this much production into a large club show. It really is amazing how they pull off this entire show from night to night considering what goes into it. Singer Maria Brink and her band mates really do put on a hell of a performance with everything going on and the interaction with her Blood dancers is fun to watch. If you have never seen these guys live, please check them out.

Shooting info: ITM is one of the few bands that let photographers shoot the entire show from the pit and not the standard first 3 songs. Not only do you capture all the costume and set changes but the quality of shots you get is vastly improved. I wish more bands granted this access and I thank them for doing this. Camera Gear: Canon 70D & Canon 16-35 F2.8 II
