MÃO MORTA @ Laurus Nobilis Música Famalicão, 2015/07/24

Posted on September 19, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I’m pretty sure that headliners MÃO MORTA (dead hand) are unknown to non-Portuguese natives. Here, they are huge. They’re considered avant-garde/death rock, but personally, I think they’re too unique to fit any label. The songwriting is … Continue reading →

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I’m not sure how famous R.A.M.P. are outside of Portugal, but here they’re close to legends – after all, they were the first metal band to enter the Portuguese music charts, back in 1998. And … Continue reading →

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. ÉDEN is local band that’s been around for 20 years – although I confess it was the first time I’ve heard of them. Metal sung in Portuguese, with an alternative vibe and a very expressive singer. … Continue reading →

REVOLUTION WITHIN @ Hard Bar, 2015/07/10

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Pieni

TERROR EMPIRE @ Hard Bar, 2015/07/10

Posted on September 15, 2015 by Pieni

TERROR EMPIRE‘s thrash metal caused a lot more fuss among the moshers (pun not exactly intended, regarding the Mosher clothing brand of guitarist Rui Alexandre…) so I didn’t dare staying long up front – hence the poor quality of the … Continue reading →

This gallery contains 87 photos.

EQUALEFT, the groove masters. I believe this was the first show I’ve been to where Miguel didn’t wield his lightsaber during “Invigorate”. But he was busy holding Sheila, the venue’s sex doll mascot, so…  Sheila had perished last year, precisely at … Continue reading →
