5FDP’s “The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell Vol.2”

Posted on January 20, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. A little less than four months after the release of volume 1, volume 2 came and conquered. The overall sound is thicker, the beats more straight-forward and the guitars fuller – as “Here To Die” and “Let This … Continue reading →

Hail To The King/Wrong Side Of Heaven tour @ Campo Pequeno, 2013/11/27

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Pieni

After “American Capitalist” FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH won me over completely. So I couldn’t miss their show at Campo Pequeno (Lisbon), even if they were playing as a support act for a band that I don’t even like. DEVICE dropped … Continue reading →

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Pieni

This past year was a bit richer than the previous one. In 2013 I’ve been to 35 shows with exactly 120 performances, in the cities of Porto, Lisboa, Moita, Vagos, Madrid, London, Stockholm and Göteborg. And also on a cruise … Continue reading →

HARDCORE SUPERSTAR @ Koko, 2013/11/22

Posted on January 2, 2014 by Pieni

I was going to start by saying that I thought HARDCORE SUPERSTAR couldn’t impress me anymore, but then I realized that I wrote precisely that about last time I’ve seen them (Stockholm, April 2011). So I guess what I’ll do … Continue reading →

DARK TRANQUILLITY @ Hard Club, 2013/11/17

Posted on January 1, 2014 by Pieni

This gallery contains 54 photos.

Originally shot for Backstage Forum. DARK TRANQUILLITY is that kind of band that never lets you down when it comes to live shows.  Promoting “Construct” (released in May), they played those most recent songs in the beginning… and “Uniformity” was the encore … Continue reading →

TRISTANIA @ Hard Club, 2013/11/17

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Pieni

Originally shot for Backstage Forum. I know that diversity is the spice of life, but some lines shouldn’t be crossed. A band such as TRISTANIA opening for DARK TRANQUILLITY is just wrong. It seems the gig in Lisbon was good, though … Continue reading →

PROJECTO SEM NOME @ Spot Bar, 2013/11/16

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Pieni

Cristovão Siano writes poetry. PROJECTO SEM NOME (project without a name), a.k.a. PSN turns that poetry into music – hence the loose pages that decorated the stage. It seems that the original idea was just to perform at the release … Continue reading →

ADEPT @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/10

Posted on December 29, 2013 by Pieni

Someone told me this was the best band on board. Well, given my personal tastes, I had to disagree. But I do agree that ADEPT was one of the best live acts there.  The last pic doesn’t make full justice to … Continue reading →

IMBER @ Rockbitch Boat, 2013/11/10

Posted on December 29, 2013 by Pieni

I don’t know how the focus of my lens suddenly was in manual mode instead of automatic. Maybe I don’t really wanna know… All I know is that it did happen and I only noticed it way too late. But … Continue reading →
