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 →

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 →
