On May 10, 2015, local Berwick, PA band
From the Shadows played their first live show in Reading, PA at the
Reverb with
Aborted, Fit for an Autopsy, Archspire, Dark Sermon as headliners. The opening bands included
Depraved Harbinger, From the Shadows, Under the Red Hoop, Trails and more. Tickets were sold at $15 each. The venue wasn't the largest or the most elaborate.
For being an all metal show, I had expected a lot more people. The crowd; even with the headliners was sparse. The venue also offered alcohol to 21+ concert goers from a small bar area in the far back of the room. I was there solely to take photos of
From the Shadows. The band played two of four songs from their prepared set due to time constraint. Arrival was a bit late but unavoidable.
As far as their initial performance from what they
were able to play, it was a good first show for them. They had concentration and were on the ball. Unintentional mishaps from drummer Matthew Robbins such as dropping the drum stick turned out to be as manager of the venue stated "a cool addition to the set."
Below is a photo I caught with all of the band in full concentration of the music.
From the Shadows is set to play their second show. Details are still unknown. However, the venue will most likely be somewhere in Allentown, PA. Keep an eye out for details to upcoming shows for the band through their Facebook Page:
