This gallery contains 69 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. But it was INFRAKTOR’s “ferocious metal” that got the most out of the crowd, proving the promoters right when they chose such a young band to headline the first day. Well, young as INFRAKTOR, who released … Continue reading

CRUZ DE FERRO @ Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão, 2018/07/26

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. CRUZ DE FERRO is Portuguese for “iron cross”, so that alone gives you an idea what kind of metal they play and what they sing about – yep, traditional heavy metal about Portuguese battles and history in … Continue reading

BOOBY TRAP @ Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão, 2018/07/26

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. Things got a bit more hardcore with BOOBY TRAP’s crossover. The most veteran band on that day’s bill got a more aggressive feedback, just like their sound, but still they tried to convince the people in … Continue reading

No More Tours 2 @ Altice Arena, 2018/07/02

OZZY OSBOURNE + JUDAS PRIEST, KISS + MEGADETH and IRON MAIDEN. All in less than a fortnight, all happening on working days, all in Lisbon. A choice had to be made, but honestly it was a no-brainer: I’ve seen MAIDEN … Continue reading

CALIBAN @ Hell Of A Weekend, 2018/06/07

CALIBAN headlining the first night of this edition of Hell Of A Weekend. What a shame they didn’t get the numerous crowd they deserved. Well, the absentees’ loss. My favorite album is still “Ghost Empire” (review here) but two others … Continue reading

HILLS HAVE EYES @ Hell Of A Weekend, 2018/06/07

This gallery contains 57 photos.

DON’T DISTURB MY CIRCLES @ Hell Of A Weekend, 2018/06/07

VILLAIN OUTBREAK @ Hell Of A Weekend, 2018/06/07
