CHASING NEVERLAND @ Göteborg Metal Fest, 2014/07/25

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. CHASING NEVERLAND got on stage like they owned it. A solid discharge of anger, with a handful of fans backing it up loudly. Their debut album “Dissonance In Harmony” was released early this year, I think, … Continue reading

LOST SECONDS @ Göteborg Metal Fest, 2014/07/25

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I got delayed and almost missed the first band, LOST SECONDS (sorry guys). So I’m not very comfortable in saying that I wasn’t impressed with them, as I’ve only seen the two last songs. Especially because … Continue reading

This gallery contains 66 photos.

MANTRA PROJEKT @ Plano B, 2014/07/04

MANTRA PROJEKT is what I like to call a “zen band”. Using their own words, they want to “share the effect of the sounds and ultrasounds (mantras) of the Old Yôga (SwáSthya Yôga)”. This was the release party of their … Continue reading

THE BLACK CHAKRA, from São João da Madeira, space-rocking Plano B with their debut EP “El Maya”. I’ve said this a zillion times, but can’t help saying one more: I FREAKING HATE RED LIGHTS!  http://www.facebook.com/theblackchakra The detail:

R.A.M.P. @ Canecas Bar, 2014/06/07

This gallery contains 72 photos.

This gig was still part of the tour I’ve attended late last year (see here), but you know me – when the show’s good, there’s no such thing as “seen-it-too-many-times-already”.  Plus, while Hard Club is that glorious big-shot venue, Canecas … Continue reading

I’d heard a lot about Canecas Bar so I was eager to see for myself just how “metal crazy” the place was. And yep, the rumours were all true.  First band of the evening was SKINNING, death metal from Portugal’s … Continue reading

EQUALEFT’s “Adapt & Survive” release party @ Metalpoint, 2014/05/31

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. “Adapt & Survive” was the album we were celebrating last night, but it could have well been the motto of the event. The main reason I avoid gigs at Metalpoint is safety – unless you stay … Continue reading
