A kind of progressive metal came up next, all the way from Atlanta, by the hands of HALCYON WAY. With a larger discography than their predecessors AVELION, their set was more balanced between older and newer material – also because … Continue reading

AVELION @ Hard Club, 2018/03/29

Melodic power metal from Parma, Italy, opening up for ANGRA. Even if they’ve been around for 10 years and released two EP in the first half of that decade, AVELION‘s setlist focused only on their debut full-length “Illusion Of Transparency”, … Continue reading

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

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

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/

NULL POSITIV @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

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
