BOOBY TRAP @ Metalpoint, 2017/09/15

Despite their almost 25-year-old career, this was the first time I was seeing BOOBY TRAP – therefore my high expectations. Expectations that weren’t met… at all. Good posture, no doubt, but I like my music a little less chaotic… They’d … Continue reading

SADISTIC OVERKILL @ Metalpoint, 2017/09/15

SADISTIC OVERKILL was the first band on stage at the release party of BIOLENCE‘s record “Violent Non Conformity”. Not sure how long they’ve been around – their info doesn’t mention much more than “beer”… – but I don’t think it’s … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ Fora de Rebanho, 2017/09/02

This gallery contains 75 photos.

It seems that I’ve seen ECHIDNA‘s first show, back in 2005, or at least one off the first batch of shows. I was amazed at how they stormed that small stage – the brainstorm one at the original Hard Club … Continue reading

COUGH @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. For COUGH, though, the number of “survivors” was pretty low. Unlike MISS LAVA, their stoner merges with sludge and doom, not rock, and even if the nocturnal hours are the perfect match to their sound, … Continue reading

GORGUTS @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. Weariness apart, both last bands were meant for more eclectic ears and a fair share of the crowd considered Vagos done after HAMMERFALL. But GORGUTS technical death metal has many fans, especially among musicians, and … Continue reading

HAMMERFALL @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. As WHITECHAPEL anticipated their exit, HAMMERFALL did the same with their entrance and “Hector’s Hymn” echoed around 22:30. The Swedes’ debut album “Glory To The Brave” celebrates its 20th anniversary this year but unlike some … Continue reading

WHITECHAPEL @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. Another kind of brutality was brought by WHITECHAPEL, so when their show ended half an hour earlier than it had been announced, the general disappointment was huge. No explanation was given for such shortening, but … Continue reading

HAVOK @ Vagos Metal Fest 2017/08/13

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. It was HAVOK, though, who brought the expression “break everything  up” to life. For many, this was the best concert of the festival, but given the diversity of genres, let’s just say that this was … Continue reading

CHELSEA GRIN @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. The movement became much more violent with CHELSEA GRIN‘s deathcore. “Self Inflicted” was released in January and it’s considered their best record so far, but the Salt Lake City band chose to bring us a … Continue reading

MISS LAVA @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. MISS LAVA caused quite the fuss as well, as their stoner rock highlights pretty much the “rock” part. “Sonic Debris” is already their third album and it served both as the start up – “The … Continue reading
