PROJECTO SEM NOME @ Hard Club, 2017/03/04

This gallery contains 51 photos.

PROJECTO SEM NOME had better lights – except on bassist Eugénio – but then again, drummer Rui, who’s also a photographer, may have given some instructions to the tech. He even teased me a bit prior to the show, mentioning … Continue reading

NETHERGOD is the Phoenix born out of IN SOLITUDE ashes – and named after the latter’s last record, released 13 years ago already. It seems that the existence of the Swedish band with the same name influenced this change – … Continue reading

HILLS HAVE EYES + GRANKAPO + BORDERLANDS @ Hard Club, 2017/02/17

IN FLAMES’ “Battles”

RCA’s “2811” release party @ Metalpoint, 2017/02/11

I’ve known RCA for quite a while – saw them at this exact same venue 5 years ago (read about it here) – but I confess my jaw dropped a little when singer/bassist Sérgio said they’d been around for 17 years. They’ve … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ Metalpoint, 2017/02/11

This gallery contains 75 photos.

Like I said three articles ago (here, to be exact), my boys and girl in INFRAKTOR made quite an impression on the RCA guys and were invited to open for them in Porto. Now I don’t know if they were … Continue reading

TOXIKULL play old school speed metal in matching dress code (that includes leather vests over naked chests ). With their debut album “Black Sheep” and lively posture on stage, they managed a place at the finals of W:O:A: Metal Battle Portugal.  … Continue reading

DESTROYERS OF ALL had been great the first time I’d seen them but they are much better now! Congrats for the evolution and also for making it to the finals – which everyone was expecting, anyway. The day before they … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ RCA, 2017/01/28

This gallery contains 105 photos.

I’d been waiting for this gig for about two years and a half, since the first time I’ve heard about Chico and Katito having a band together. I befriended the former when he played drums in PITCH BLACK – my … Continue reading
