BRUTEFORCE @ Hard Club, 2013/01/26

Posted on February 10, 2013 by Pieni

BRUTEFORCE was supposed to have played the previous round, in Lisbon, but it seems the storm that hit our country the week before took the power down when they were about to perform. Lucky for me, as I haven’t seen … Continue reading →

THE SPEKTRUM @ Hard Club, 2013/01/26

Posted on February 9, 2013 by Pieni

As a friend of mine said, “there’s something about a violin and a spike armband”.  Despite their image, they don’t play black metal. It’s just metal, with melody and a dark look. And to go along with that, they decided to … Continue reading →

Posted on February 5, 2013 by Pieni

SKINNING, the death metallers from Guimarães, were probably the most brutal guys on stage. And that made of them the winners of this round of Wacken Metal Battle. Congrats! http://www.myspace.com/skinningband

Posted on February 4, 2013 by Pieni

Up next, from Marinha Grande, came a more mature band: CHAPEL OF SIN – looser, louder, faster… cooler. Also the crowd was starting to add up, so the atmosphere itself was better. But then again, nothing like an ol’ school … Continue reading →

BURNING MAN @ Hard Club, 2013/01/26

Posted on February 3, 2013 by Pieni

My first gig this year was Round #5 of Wacken Metal Battle, promoted by SWR Inc. (as usual ). Also as usual, if the first band isn’t local, doesn’t have a very popular name in the underground and didn’t bring many … Continue reading →

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Pieni

As PITCH BLACK got the third place in my top-3 of national live performances last year (https://frontrowforever.net/2013/01/01/2012-gold-silver-and-bronze-medals/) but I didn’t have very nice pics in the matching report… http://www.myspace.com/pitchblackattack

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music Feels like it was just the other day that I convinced my mom to take me to the airport and wait for Heavenwood, who were returning home from the recording sessions of their debut “Diva”, in Germany. … Continue reading →

INVICTA X-MASSACRE IV @ Metalpoint, 2012/12/22

Posted on December 24, 2012 by Pieni

I’m not exactly the most frequent client Metalpoint has, but in these 5 years I’ve attended a fair share of events. And only two of them have been sold out – the first edition of Invicta X-Massacre in 2009 and … Continue reading →

Revisited: DAEMOGORGON @ Velha Guarda IV, 2010/09/04

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Pieni

DAEMOGORGON will be the special guests on this year’s X-Massacre, so I went fishing in the vault for pics of these black/death metallers from Guimarães. These were taken in the 4th (and last) edition of Velha Guarda (Old School) Fest, … Continue reading →
