PROJECTO SEM NOME @ Hard Club, 2017/03/04

This gallery contains 51 photos.

PROJECTO SEM NOME had better lights – except on bassist Eugénio – but then again, drummer Rui, who’s also a photographer, may have given some instructions to the tech. He even teased me a bit prior to the show, mentioning … Continue reading

NETHERGOD is the Phoenix born out of IN SOLITUDE ashes – and named after the latter’s last record, released 13 years ago already. It seems that the existence of the Swedish band with the same name influenced this change – … Continue reading

HILLS HAVE EYES + GRANKAPO + BORDERLANDS @ Hard Club, 2017/02/17

This gallery contains 12 photos.

Three prominent bands from the Lisbon Metropolitan Area headed out to Porto to play a gig, just like that. No tour, no new album to promote, no anniversary to celebrate… just good ol’ ‘core to spice up a Friday night. BORDERLANDS … Continue reading

RCA’s “2811” release party @ Metalpoint, 2017/02/11

I’ve known RCA for quite a while – saw them at this exact same venue 5 years ago (read about it here) – but I confess my jaw dropped a little when singer/bassist Sérgio said they’d been around for 17 years. They’ve … Continue reading

This gallery contains 75 photos.

Like I said three articles ago (here, to be exact), my boys and girl in INFRAKTOR made quite an impression on the RCA guys and were invited to open for them in Porto. Now I don’t know if they were … Continue reading

DESTROYERS OF ALL @ RCA, 2017/01/28

This gallery contains 54 photos.

DESTROYERS OF ALL had been great the first time I’d seen them but they are much better now! Congrats for the evolution and also for making it to the finals – which everyone was expecting, anyway. The day before they … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ RCA, 2017/01/28

This gallery contains 105 photos.

I’d been waiting for this gig for about two years and a half, since the first time I’ve heard about Chico and Katito having a band together. I befriended the former when he played drums in PITCH BLACK – my … Continue reading

SABATON @ Coliseu do Porto, 2017/01/20

This gallery contains 51 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Even though I was happy to see the old schoolers getting off their couches to support ACCEPT, I was sad to see many of them leave and not give a chance to SABATON. Well, their … Continue reading

ACCEPT @ Coliseu do Porto, 2017/01/20

This gallery contains 66 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The “Generation Clash” – song they sadly didn’t play – went wild the moment Christopher Williams stood behind the drums screaming in salute. We have a saying in Portugal that goes something like “old are … Continue reading
