Posted on February 11, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Albert Fish is not only a cannibal rapist serial killer from the late 1800, it is also a street punk band, and as singer Gustavo himself said, they’re not used to play in that kind of festival, more into … Continue reading →

HEAD:STONED @ XX HardMetalFest, 2014/01/11

Posted on February 10, 2014 by Pieni

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Somewhere between prog and thrash, Head:Stoned followed up. They’ve been around for more than 7 years now and I believe they’ve grown quite a lot, both musical and performance-wise. The songs are more consistent, stronger, and bass player Vera is … Continue reading →

DEAD MEAT @ XX HardMetalFest, 2014/01/11

Posted on February 8, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Brutal death/grind-gore Dead Meat have been around for 20 years… literally. Studio is not their thing, the stage is. Singer Dinis recalled having played HardMetalFest back in 1999, thanking José Rocha once again not only for the chance of returning to that festival … Continue reading →

MIND HOLOCAUST @ XX HardMetalFest, 2014/01/11

Posted on February 5, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The festival would then turn into a completely different direction with Mind Holocaust, who play death metal in a brutal old school style. The reception of the crowd was a different kind of warm, more physical… I’m … Continue reading →

INKILINA SAZABRA @ XX HardMetalFest, 2014/01/11

Posted on February 1, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The first band setting foot on stage wasn’t exactly metal, but the dark and thick sound of Inkilina Sazabra’s industrial rock was more than suitable to such a festival. Too bad that the audience was still … Continue reading →

ANTIVOID @ Metalpoint, 2013/11/30

Posted on January 31, 2014 by Pieni

EQUALEFT @ Metalpoint, 2013/11/30

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Pieni

First EQUALEFT gig in a long while, as they’ve been reclusive while recording their first full-length. Sadly, Miguel was sick (flu) and his voice wasn’t at 100% – nor did he jump so much, as it’s his usual – but … Continue reading →

B.A.C.O. @ Metalpoint, 2013/11/30

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Pieni

B.A.C.O. (Boémios Anti Corporativismo Oligárquico – anti oligarchical corporatism bohemians) is a rock/metal band better than I expected. Not sure if it was their name that made me doubt their seriousness (Baco being the Portuguese name for the Roman wine … Continue reading →
