Photos: Sonic Temple Festival from May 8 to 11 in Columbus, Ohio

Earlier this month, more than 100 bands descended upon Columbus, Ohio for this year’s Sonic Temple Festival. For four days, metal bands of all sizes and popularity played to a huge crowd for a long weekend of loud music and fun.

Knowing that this would be a perfect time to get as many photos of some great bands as we can, we got the incredible Sean Matthews to head out and take some shots for us. As you can see from the photos below, there were too many bands to individually name, so we’ve categorized the photos by the day they were taken.

So sit back and live vicariously through the Matthew’s lens. Huge thanks to Matthews for pulling it all together and coming back with some great photos.
