This gallery contains 54 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. COUNTERACTT is a technical deathcore band from Spain with a Portuguese singer, Luís Dias, but he’s probably been living in Madrid long enough for he addressed the crowd in a “Spanishguese” with a funny … Continue reading

This gallery contains 51 photos.

MANOWAR @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/21

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. The two-year hiatus COVID-19 forced into Laurus Nobilis Music  Famalicão – now Laurus Nobilis Music Fest – is over and they’re back… well, not stronger than before, but just as strong. Sure, MANOWAR is probably the biggest name … Continue reading

VËLLA @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/21

This gallery contains 63 photos.

JARDIM LETAL @ Laurus NobilisMusic Fest, 2022/07/21

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. What seemed like a joke was the band that came next (no offense). JARDIM LETAL (that’s Portuguese for “lethal garden”…) fit more in some town festivities than a metal festival, sounding more like a pop band than the … Continue reading

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. When DARKTRIBE got on stage next, I noticed the drummer kept looking at the computer by his side and I joked to myself “the drummer needs a cheat sheet”. Then I saw his face and I … Continue reading
