ECHIDNA @ STRAIGHT FROM WITHIN release party, 2012/09/22

Originally posted in: http://valkyrianmusic.com/2012/09/24/straight-from-within-release-party/ » Last year Echidna released their own second album, “Dawn Of The Sociopath”, already with Capela on vocals. But for one reason or another, I’d never managed to see him with the band until that night. I already knew him from Damnull, and … Continue reading

Originally posted in: http://valkyrianmusic.com/2012/09/24/straight-from-within-release-party/ » Equaleft got on stage at 21:30, which is somewhat early for an underground concert around here.

Revisited: BACKYARD BABIES @ Music Box, 2008/09/30

Music Box, Lisbon, is exactly that – a box. But I like the rock vibe in it. Plus, for bands that aren’t very big around here – or not big enough to make loads of people get out of the house … Continue reading

Revisited: TESTAMENT @ Priest Feast, 2009/03/17

Even though JUDAS PRIEST + MEGADETH + TESTAMENT was quite a classy line-up, I still think it wasn’t fair that such a successful 23-year-old (at the time) band as TESTAMENT got to play for just 45 minutes. It was an … Continue reading

HEAVENWOOD @ Metalpoint, 2012/08/14

Closing the evening was, obviously, HEAVENWOOD, Bruno Silva‘s own band and promoter of the event. Also, the only band with international recognition and 4 albums out, none of them self-released. So they played song from all those albums, songs like … Continue reading

WEB @ Metalpoint, 2012/08/14

Veterans WEB couldn’t miss this, of course. The t-shirt Nando is holding up in the air, in pic #20, is one of the band’s, the one which reads “PERSISTENCE” in the back. And that was the key word that night: … Continue reading

THE ENDGATE @ Metalpoint, 2012/08/14

THE ENDGATE is another band that I’ve seen a few times, but the last one had been loooooong before. Back then, the singer was still Tiago. I don’t know when Vítor joined in, but I know Mariana was the original … Continue reading

WARCHITECTT @ Metalpoint, 2012/08/14

Next on the bill was happy-drinkers-thrashers WARCHITECTT. The fans/friends gathered in the first lines and it was a hell of a party up front. An IRON MAIDEN cover seems mandatory – last time I’d seen them, a couple of years … Continue reading

DEBUNKER @ Metalpoint, 2012/08/14

Stop Shopping Centre should have changed its name a long time ago as it holds, nowadays, no more than a couple of stores. Then there’s one or two coffee shops, the famous bar/metal venue Metalpoint… and the rest is rehearsal … Continue reading
