I was at the very first gig of REVOLUTION WITHIN, at Gaia Em Peso 2005, so being there that night, celebrating “A Decade From Within” had a special feeling to it. Two special feelings, actually – even though I’ve been … Continue reading →

Posted on September 15, 2015 by Pieni

TERROR EMPIRE‘s thrash metal caused a lot more fuss among the moshers (pun not exactly intended, regarding the Mosher clothing brand of guitarist Rui Alexandre…) so I didn’t dare staying long up front – hence the poor quality of the … Continue reading →

Posted on September 14, 2015 by Pieni

In celebration of their 10th anniversary, REVOLUTION WITHIN put up a 4-show-tour, suitably called “A Decade From Within”. I caught up with them on the third date, where MONOLYTH was the first band on stage. It had been one year … Continue reading →

BLACKUNPLUGGED @ Bedouinbar, 2015/06/27

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 →

SOILWORK’s “The Ride Majestic”

Posted on August 28, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. SOILWORK haven’t had the need to prove themselves to me for a long time now. After albums such as “Figure Number Five”, “Stabbing The Drama” or the previous “The Living Infinite”, they’ve achieved a solid rank … Continue reading →

EQUALEFT @ Canecas Bar, 2015/05/29

EQUALEFT, the groove masters. I believe this was the first show I’ve been to where Miguel didn’t wield his lightsaber during “Invigorate”. But he was busy holding Sheila, the venue’s sex doll mascot, so…  Sheila had perished last year, precisely at … Continue reading →

Posted on August 22, 2015 by Pieni

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 →
