Posted on September 9, 2015 by Pieni

I’ve known Matador (guitar) and Suzy (bass) for ages, but it wasn’t friendship that led me to São João da Madeira that night – a bunch of rock & metal classics in unplugged mode? Couldn’t miss it! Songs such as … Continue reading →

This gallery contains 78 photos.

This TALES FOR THE UNSPOKEN gig wasn’t much different from the one I’d seen 6 days before – just a better stage, at a better partying venue, and therefore better pics.  We did learn a couple of new things though: that the single/video … Continue reading →

UNEARTH @ Hard Club, 2015/05/22

Posted on August 1, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. A big part of the crowd had high expectations regarding UNEARTH and those expectations were totally met. And the Massachusetts metalcore band also seemed very pleased with the Portuguese – I couldn’t see Trevor Phipps’ face when he … Continue reading →
