The Grammy-nominated metalcore act Killswitch Engage played a beautifully-illuminated series of shows on the Monster’s Mosh tour, using gobo lights<\/a> and images to bring lighting elements from horror films to the stage. According to Live Design, the show was helmed by lighting designer Darragh Guiney, and used a variety of spots and gobo projectors to impress the crowd.<\/p>\n

“Josh Mihlek, production manager for Killswitch Engage, buried himself in his office for weeks going through old stock footage of hammer horror movies and other real old-style scary stuff,” Guiney told the news source. “We offset this with static Killswitch logos and lots of static and staggered fizzy effects. In-between songs there were drive-in movie type horror trailers with audio. The panels worked very well to display every image we fed them with the intensity we wanted.”<\/p>\n

Blending dynamic lighting effects with fog and video allowed the team to create a horror-inspired light show to accompany Killswitch Engage’s powerful music, to the delight of both the band and the audience. According to Guiney, the effects were a great way to add a fun element to the show.<\/p>\n

Gobos can be used to add unique elements to any live performance, but you need to ensure that you’re using the right designs. Stock metal gobos<\/a> can be useful, but in order to truly impress a crowd you may want to consider using custom gobo<\/a> designs. From band logos to special themes, custom gobo images<\/a> can take any concert or performance to a new level of entertainment and impress even the most cynical crowd. If you’re interested in creating your own gobos, contact GoboSource for more details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
