OBSCURA @ Hard Club, 2019/02/12

Posted on January 28, 2020 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. Right at the end of OBSCURA‘s first song – “Emergent Evolution” – Steffen Kummerer said how great it was to be back in Portugal, after all those years; judging by the smile shining on … Continue reading →

FALLUJAH @ Hard Club, 2019/02/12

Posted on January 21, 2020 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. I didn’t hear it, but someone who was paying more attention heard Antonio Palermo asking for “all red lights” before FALLUJAH‘s gig kicked off. The lights in Hard Club’s Room 2 usually neglect the … Continue reading →

Posted on January 10, 2020 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. ALLEGAEON, on the other hand, have a new record ready to be released next month. It was still too soon to promote it, but since the single “Stellar Tidal Disruption” had been rolling on … Continue reading →

FIRST FRAGMENT @ Hard Club, 2019/02/12

Posted on January 5, 2020 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. This was the third technical death metal event I’ve been to in four months and all of them had a full house; that thing they say about this genre not being suitable for … Continue reading →

2019: gold, silver and bronze medals

Posted on January 1, 2020 by Pieni

And just when I’d started posting articles about the 2019 gigs I’ve attended, 2020 knocked on my door… Didn’t realize the numbers were so low until I’ve actually counted them: only 19 events, featuring 106 performances, played in 7 cities … Continue reading →

EQUALEFT’s “We Defy” release party @ Hard Club, 2019/02/01

Posted on December 31, 2019 by Pieni

This gallery contains 60 photos.

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. Despite the ticket presale going on a steady run, EQUALEFT singer Miguel Inglês never believed he’d have a sold out venue. Now, he has this pet hate of sorts for MANOWAR and he promised to buy … Continue reading →

ANALEPSY @ Hard Club, 2019/02/01

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. Brutal death metal ANALEPSY, living up to the “brutal” part. Hair running in all directions on stage, while bodies did more or less the same on the floor. And that’s pretty much all I can say about … Continue reading →

WEB @ Hard Club, 2019/02/01

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Pieni

This gallery contains 69 photos.

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. From a national popularity point of view, it didn’t make much sense to see the legendary WEB get on stage next, but ANALEPSY had to drive about 200 miles to get to the venue – and WEB … Continue reading →

SOTZ’ @ Hard Club, 2019/02/01

Posted on December 29, 2019 by Pieni

This gallery contains 48 photos.

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. As I’ve mentioned before (read here), SOTZ’ have been evolving so much and playing in so many events that I didn’t realize this was their first Hard Club show until singer Dan mentioned it. The room still wasn’t at … Continue reading →

WEB @ Hard Club, 2018/12/21

Posted on December 28, 2019 by Pieni

This gallery contains 63 photos.

HOLOCAUSTO CANIBAL isn’t my scene and the only time I’d seen BELPHEGOR it had been kind of terrible. Sure, it had been a decade before, but after so many gigs in the prior weeks, I really didn’t have it in … Continue reading →
