HILLS HAVE EYES @ River Stone, 2017/09/23

Posted on January 24, 2018 by Pieni

This gallery contains 81 photos.

September nights by the river is the furthest thing from warm, but when your favorite band is playing – especially on the drummer’s birthday – your concern about temperature is just as far. Given the huge backlog FRF has, I … Continue reading →

SHADOWSPHERE @ Cave 45, 2017/09/22

Posted on January 21, 2018 by Pieni

SHADOWSPHERE‘s relocation from Seixal to Porto forced the band to change half of their line-up. The transition to the new bass player Susana and the new singer Orca went smoothly but the drummer’s was a bumpy ride, leading to a … Continue reading →

BIOLENCE’s “Violent Non Conformity” release party @ Metalpoint, 2017/09/15

Posted on January 19, 2018 by Pieni

In all honesty, I’ve never been a big fan of BIOLENCE‘s live performances. But it had been quite a while since I’d last seen them, and they didn’t have Marco on the bass and Afonso on the drums at the … Continue reading →

BOOBY TRAP @ Metalpoint, 2017/09/15

Posted on January 13, 2018 by Pieni

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

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Pieni

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

Posted on December 31, 2017 by Pieni

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

Posted on December 31, 2017 by Pieni

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

Posted on December 31, 2017 by Pieni

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

Posted on December 31, 2017 by Pieni

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

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Pieni

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 →
