EXODUS Live In Jakarta

Well, I was so glad when one the best Bay Area thrash metal band, Exodus would play in Jakarta and I intended to take their photos at their concert.

Exodus is one of thrash metal band from Bay Area, US. This band was founded by Paul Baloff and Kirk Hammet (now in Metallica), before he joined Metallica, replacing Dave Mustaine. Now this band consists of Rob Dukes (vocal), Gary Holt (guitars), Lee Altus (guitars), Jack Gibson (bass), and Tom Hunting (drums).

The show was held on September at Senayan, Jakarta and promoted by Pentia Quantum. The show was opened by 2 local metal band, they were Down For Life, a metalcore band from Solo and Oracle, a thrash metal band from Jakarta. For me, I prefer another local thrash metal band from Jakarta, Gigantor to Down For Life, to open this show with Oracle, because both of them play same genre with Exodus, Thash Metal.

This concert was started at 8 pm and opened by Down For Life and Oracle. Then it was at 9 pm after Oracle finishing their show, the Exodus' crew prepared the equipment but the audience grumble for the so long preparation by yelling them while they were on stage. Finally Exodus' personnel came to the stage and played the first song, called The Ballad of Leonard and Charles, from their new album, Exhibit B: The Human Condition.Then continued to the songs until the 'Toxic Waltz' before they did the encore. At That night, they played very well and so powerful.There were moshers who did the mosh march.


I took these photos by using Nikon D40X camera, Nikkor 18-55 mm lens and the help of stage lighting then I edited at the Adobe Photoshop.


Actually there was a problem between the concert guard and me because of not using the press ID eventhough I was admitted by the one of the official of Pentia Quantum but it was finished there and I could take the these photo. Many thanks to Pentia Quantum and Mr.Omen that had given me the permission to documented this concert.


Here are the photos,

Last but least, this is the mosh circle, it was my lucky, I got this moment!!! It was so hard because the stage lighting almost never lighted the audience, suddenly when Rob asked the audience to do the mosh circle, it lighted to the audience, and I take it quickly. lucky me ;p
