RECKLESS LOVE @ La Riviera, 2014/10/25

I don’t like RECKLESS LOVE. True, I wrote highly about “Spirit” (read review here), but only because I was able to stand on their fans’ shoes, meaning I knew that album was what they would expect and appreciate. And even though I … Continue reading

IN FLAMES’ “Siren Charms”

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. A smile lit up on my face when I heard that IN FLAMES would release a new album. That smile still glowed when the first single “Rusted Nail” was available. Not a spectacular track but good enough … Continue reading

GOJIRA @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. However, this was GOJIRA’s night. I believe the Portuguese fans have been asking for the French band since the very first Vagos edition. As for them, they claimed they’d been expecting to play in Portugal … Continue reading

PARADISE LOST @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

This gallery contains 96 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I guess everybody knows by now that a PARADISE LOST gig is either very good or sucks dish water, there’s no middle term. It all depends on Nick Holmes’ mood. Holmes not only was in a … Continue reading

VITA IMANA @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

This gallery contains 111 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Spanish VITA IMANA was another surprise – one that so far gets my gold medal in the category “Top surprises of 2014”. Whoever told me they were a thrash metal band forgot to mention they were … Continue reading

THE QUARTET OF WOAH! @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

This gallery contains 54 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Now THE QUARTET OF WOAH!, despite being formed just 4 years ago, they’ve been playing non-stop recently and making their name known. Well-known, actually, as their live shows are pretty… lively! I wasn’t expecting that, … Continue reading

M.U.R.K. @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. M.U.R.K. – the “alternative death metal” Portuguese band, not the black metal Italian one – were up next. Never had heard of them before, not even when they were going by the name SATTOR, and … Continue reading

OPUS DIABOLICUM @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

OPETH @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/09

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Now OPETH… I’ll start with something Mikael Åkerfeldt said at some point, regarding a song I honestly can’t remember the name, but he said that “if it sounds like a fuck-up, it isn’t. It’s just … Continue reading
