Band Promo Photos 101


I always thought Canada's BLASPHEMY was a four piece band not a three piece. Oh wait, there is the guitarist, Caller of the Storms, looking all ghostly in the back. (see below) Usually it is white people that look like a ghost, not a black guy as seen in one of the band's early promo photos below. Band photos are really important. Just because your friend has a great new camera doesn't mean she knows how to use it. Lighting is key. I know in metal you want that 'we don't care' look, but this promo shot takes it a little too the extreme.

According to Metal Archives, Blasphemy came into existence in 1984 with their first full length being released six years later.
