EQUALEFT @ Metalpoint, 2013/11/30

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Pieni

First EQUALEFT gig in a long while, as they’ve been reclusive while recording their first full-length. Sadly, Miguel was sick (flu) and his voice wasn’t at 100% – nor did he jump so much, as it’s his usual – but … Continue reading →

B.A.C.O. @ Metalpoint, 2013/11/30

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Pieni

B.A.C.O. (Boémios Anti Corporativismo Oligárquico – anti oligarchical corporatism bohemians) is a rock/metal band better than I expected. Not sure if it was their name that made me doubt their seriousness (Baco being the Portuguese name for the Roman wine … Continue reading →

Hail To The King/Wrong Side Of Heaven tour @ Campo Pequeno, 2013/11/27

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Pieni

After “American Capitalist” FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH won me over completely. So I couldn’t miss their show at Campo Pequeno (Lisbon), even if they were playing as a support act for a band that I don’t even like. DEVICE dropped … Continue reading →

HARDCORE SUPERSTAR @ Koko, 2013/11/22

Posted on January 2, 2014 by Pieni

I was going to start by saying that I thought HARDCORE SUPERSTAR couldn’t impress me anymore, but then I realized that I wrote precisely that about last time I’ve seen them (Stockholm, April 2011). So I guess what I’ll do … Continue reading →

DARK TRANQUILLITY @ Hard Club, 2013/11/17

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Pieni
