Fred Pessaro from Brooklyn: Maryland Deathfest Portrait

Maryland Deathfest Portrait, No. 7: Meet Fred Pessaro from Brooklyn, New York. For Fred, “metal is catharsis.” He’s a freelance concert photographer for several publications and a NY-area concert promoter, but his main gig is with Brooklyn Vegan where he pits hardcore and metal material along side the site’s usual indie fare. Of the many sets he loved during MDF, Napalm Death left a distinct impression by performing one song from every album of its long and consistent career.
