Diabulus In Musica – Secrets Launch

DiM Secrets Launch 2010

As many of the regular listeners already know, we attended the “Secrets” album launch gig for local band Diabulus In Musica who are signed to Metal Blade. We are proud to champion such a talented young band, and it’s great to see them off to a great start. It’s been a while since I’ve done any gig photography, you can check out a selection of pics from the gig here:

DiM Secrets Launch 2010

It was truly fantastic. It’s a real shame they can’t have all the album guests on the road with them when they tour as it was really a special gig!
