Originally posted in: http://valkyrianmusic.com/2012/09/24/straight-from-within-release-party/ » Web were sharing material with Equaleft, meaning that Victor was playing with the Fractal FX amp. Guess he’s now considering getting his own, given the power and definition he got from it that night! I’d missed “Life Aggression” last time I’d seen … Continue reading

Originally posted in: http://valkyrianmusic.com/2012/09/24/straight-from-within-release-party/ » Last year Echidna released their own second album, “Dawn Of The Sociopath”, already with Capela on vocals.

Revisited: TESTAMENT @ Priest Feast, 2009/03/17

Even though JUDAS PRIEST + MEGADETH + TESTAMENT was quite a classy line-up, I still think it wasn’t fair that such a successful 23-year-old (at the time) band as TESTAMENT got to play for just 45 minutes. It was an … Continue reading

THE ENDGATE @ Metalpoint, 2012/08/14

THE ENDGATE is another band that I’ve seen a few times, but the last one had been loooooong before. Back then, the singer was still Tiago. I don’t know when Vítor joined in, but I know Mariana was the original … Continue reading
