Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. It’s been over a week since “Rust” was released but only now I’ve managed to write about it. Why? Because every time I’ve started doing so, the songs popped up in my head and I … Continue reading

BESTA @ Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão, 2019/07/27

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. Originally shot for Valkyrian Music. The third day kicked off with BESTA‘s irreverence. Even without bassist Gaza – or anyone else to replace him – they’ve brought the latest “Eterno Rancor” with the full force … Continue reading
