REVOLUTION WITHIN @ Cave Avenida, 2018/03/03

Posted on August 5, 2018 by Pieni

The following day, INFRAKTOR introduced “Exhaust” to the people of Viana do Castelo and REVOLUTION WITHIN tagged along once again. I liked this cozy, little place called Cave Avenida, despite the terrible lights to shoot under… The pillar in the … Continue reading →

INFRAKTOR’s “Exhaust” release party @ Metalpoint, 2018/03/02

Posted on July 30, 2018 by Pieni

This gallery contains 45 photos.

And then the time came for INFRAKTOR to officially introduce their debut “Exhaust” (review here). Funny how I’d already knew the album, and had seen them live half a dozen times before, meaning I knew what they were capable of, … Continue reading →

REVOLUTION WITHIN @ Metalpoint, 2018/03/02

Posted on July 27, 2018 by Pieni

Being great friends and rehearsal-roommates, REVOLUTION WITHIN was the obvious choice for INFRAKTOR‘s second guests. Fierce show as always, “From Madness To Sanity” is still my favorite song off their current “Annihilation”. http://www.facebook.com/revolutionwithinband/

FINAL MERCY @ Metalpoint, 2018/03/02

Posted on July 17, 2018 by Pieni

FINAL MERCY were the first guests at INFRAKTOR’s”Exhaust” release party. As I’ve previously said (here), singer Dan Vesca gave a whole new life to the band and it was a real pleasure to see them taking part of this event, … Continue reading →

THERION @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on July 7, 2018 by Pieni

This gallery contains 105 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. With such foreplay, it took only the first chords of “Theme Of Antichrist” to drive the crowd to a climax which would last throughout the almost-2-hour long performance of THERION. Some highlights of their latest opera – … Continue reading →

IMPERIAL AGE @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on June 30, 2018 by Pieni

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. If the Germans were the furthest from THERION in genre, Russian IMPERIAL AGE were the closest, with their symphonic/opera metal. The release of their third album “The Legacy Of Atlantis” earlier this month outlined their setlist, but they … Continue reading →

NULL POSITIV @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on June 20, 2018 by Pieni

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. Female singer as well, but completely different posture, NULL POSITIV followed suit. That so-German alternative, post-industrial sound which “recognizes the signs of the times”, to quote their own motto. Even if Elli Berlin joined THERION on stage to … Continue reading →

MIDNIGHT ETERNAL @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on June 16, 2018 by Pieni

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. MIDNIGHT ETERNAL was the first band on stage. Frankly, I’d never heard of them before, but then again, symphonic power metal with a female lyric voice – and occasional male growls – isn’t exactly my cup … Continue reading →

ROTTING CHRIST @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

Posted on June 10, 2018 by Pieni

More than the ring the combination has to it, I believe the tour was named after both headliners’ latest works only because of that – their shortest lifetime. After all, ROTTING CHRIST‘s “Rituals” had already been released two years prior, … Continue reading →

CARACH ANGREN @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

Posted on June 1, 2018 by Pieni

“Seriously? Another band named after Tolkien?” was my first thought when learning about the bill, I must confess. The Dutch symphonic black metal band has been around for quite a while, but since the genre is not exactly my favorite … Continue reading →
