Revisited: BREAKING TODAY’s “It Dies Today” EP

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. He may be the bass player in a metalcore band, but Luís Silva is a punk rocker. And he plays guitar. And he sings! And so BREAKING TODAY was born. The single for the title-track was released three years … Continue reading

LYFORDEATH @ Hard Club, 2021/06/18

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. I don’t exactly miss the delays on the so-called “underground shows” but I couldn’t help smiling at this whiff of normalcy which LYFORDEATH provided (even if, surely, not on purpose). It wasn’t more … Continue reading

Revisited: THE 69 EYES’ “West End”

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. Over the past 30 years, THE 69 EYES have developed such a characteristic sound that they’re at a point in their career where one can identify a song as theirs, even before Jyrki 69’s unique … Continue reading

Revisited: CRASHDÏET @ Sala Apolo, 2008/04/20

CRASHDÏET were asking the other day on their Facebook page for us to share a “CrashStory”. Well, I don’t have any spectacular one, but I need to keep this blog alive while there aren’t new gigs to shoot and remembering … Continue reading

Revisited: WHITESNAKE @ Expofacic, 2008/08/02

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Expofacic, an agricultural and industrial fair in Cantanhede – probably one of the last places I’d expect to see a WHITESNAKE gig (just like I’d never dreamed of watching EUROPE perform at a water park opening in Vila Real a … Continue reading

Undead Unhinged, 2021/04/30

This gallery contains 120 photos.

Concerts are slowly starting to happen across Europe, but I haven’t been graced by any yet. Not that I’d have missed this even if I had attended a gig every night for the past week – just wanted to let … Continue reading

Revisited: WEB @ Irmandade Metálica, 2009/05/16

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Still with no new gigs booked in a near future, and being Filipe‘s birthday today, revisiting WEB‘s performance at Irmandade Metálica, back in 2009, seemed like a good idea.  The event took place in Benavente, at the famous Side B, … Continue reading

T. PERRY & THE BOMBERS @ Hard Rock Cafe Streaming Sessions, 2021/04/17

Never had the chance to see André Matos‘ rockabilly band, T. PERRY & THE BOMBERS, so I made sure to watch the streaming session at Hard Rock Café – and will make sure to catch them live “for real” when … Continue reading

Ricardo “Slayer” Martins

This gallery contains 50 photos.

Slayer has been my best friend for a handful of years now but we’ve known each other for many more. He’s turning 40 today so I thought it would be nice to share a pic of every time I’ve shot … Continue reading

Revisited: WATAIN @ SWR, 2007/04/29

Never been a fan of black metal, but watching WATAIN at Steel Warriors Rebellion, back in 2007, made me realize that not all bands of the genre sound the same. Even if they caused some trouble – several troubles, actually … Continue reading
