Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. In previous editions, the first band of each day was always Portuguese, so having a Spanish opening act was a first – thrashers SOLDIER did the honors. VOA is part of their “The Great Western Oligarchy tour 2016”, … Continue reading

MOONSPELL @ Laurus Nobilis Música Famalicão, 2016/07/22

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Still promoting “Extinct”, MOONSPELL’s setlist was mostly focused on it. And then on “Irreligious”, which turns 20 precisely today. Not the whole albums, no – that is reserved for a special concert in December, in Guimarães, … Continue reading

BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA @ Laurus Nobilis Música Famalicão, 2016/07/22

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I’ve been to a fair share of BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA gigs (the first one in 1999) but had never seen them with a bass player before – apparently the majority of their fan club was just as … Continue reading

QUINTETO EXPLOSIVO @ Laurus Nobilis Música Famalicão, 2016/07/22

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. QUINTETO EXPLOSIVO is Portuguese for “explosive quintet”. If that doesn’t hint you about their goofiness, check out the Deadpool and Captain America outfits… The lyrics are also mischievous, full of offensive slang, and while some are pure … Continue reading

VIA SACRA @ Laurus Nobilis Música Famalicão, 2016/07/22

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. It was a little past seven when VIA SACRA got on stage with a long and somewhat mystic intro – that sadly everyone heard from the outside. This is probably the only complaint I have about … Continue reading

The Book Of Souls World Tour @ MEO Arena, 2016/07/11

I confess I didn’t listen to “The Book Of Souls”. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I’ve heard an IRON MAIDEN album upon its release. But missing a live show? No way! Opening act was THE RAVEN AGE. Yes, … Continue reading

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. July and this was the first time this year that I’ve worked with Prime Artists. They’ve promoted several gigs lately but all in Lisbon and I haven’t had the chance to cover those almost 200 … Continue reading

EQUALEFT @ Hard Club, 2016/07/07

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. There’s always some disregard for local, smaller bands, but this time almost everybody was present when EQUALEFT got on stage, at nine o’clock sharp. When GOJIRA headlined Vagos Open Air a couple of years ago, there was … Continue reading

HOT STREAK @ Pede Salsa Bar, 2016/06/17

HOT STREAK is a new cover band of rock hits – all kinds of rock, from STEPPENWOLF to ALICE IN CHAINS, going through INCUBUS. This was their first gig and singer Rui even misspelled their name for “hot strike”.  But apart … Continue reading

MORE THAN A THOUSAND Farewell Tour @ Hard Club, 2016/06/11

This is it, the end is here. I’d been more than eager for this show, but when the time finally came, I was overcome with a deep sadness entwined with all the thrill. We often use that old cliche “all … Continue reading
