SÖLAR @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2022/07/28

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Original Portuguese version written for Glam Magazine. Straight off Granada, the alternative rock of SÖLAR came next – full of adrenaline or simply “hiperactivo“, like the title of one of their songs. They began their career singing in English, releasing “Your … Continue reading

PAULA TELES’ “Entre Paredes”

Paula Teles is back, pushing fado’s envelope even further. Not that it’s more intense than “Desencanto”, no, but while the latter dwells in an overall sense of longing, “Entre Paredes” embraces a darker and more defiant tragedy. Let’s go through … Continue reading

DURRHAST @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/23

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. Just like the previous night (it seems it’s a kind of tradition now doing so), a cover band wrapped up the festivities, this time RAMMSTEIN, by the hands of DURRHAST, who not only did … Continue reading

LACUNA COIL @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/23

This gallery contains 63 photos.

For Thais. Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. I don’t think I’m wrong when I say that, despite the impact of this double dose of brutality, it was LACUNA COIL the great majority of the crowd was longing for. “Black … Continue reading

BENIGHTED @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/23

This gallery contains 51 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. BENIGHTED are held very dear by the Portuguese audience, and if you think it’s weird to use such term in association with a brutal death/grind band, then you don’t know that Julien Truchan says … Continue reading

ETERNAL PSYCHO @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/23

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. I’ve got a pretty open mind when it comes to modern sounds and mixing genres, so I appreciated Laurus’ enterprise of bringing something “different” in the form of Madrid-based ETERNAL PSYCHO. But the high … Continue reading

NIHILITY @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/23

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. Another cancellation, this time on Belgian HUMAN VIVISECTION part, brought NIHILITY on board at the last minute – so last that guitarist Afonso Gomes couldn’t make it, as he already had other plans. “Prophecy … Continue reading
