Cannibal Corpse, Dark Funeral, Immolation
2022
Cannibal Corpse, Dark Funeral and Immolation played The Observatory North Park, in San Diego on November 23, 2022. This was a pretty incredible lineup, and had sold out over a month prior. Great crowd and venue. I decided to go 100% black & white on this one due to the seemly over saturated color lighting.
