THE RANSACK @ Lusitanos D’Armas, 2012/01/14

The night ended deadly. Musically speaking, of course.  Death metallers THE RANSACK closed the bill with another of their brutal shows. Nuff said. http://www.myspace.com/theransackband

PAINTED BLACK @ Lusitanos D’Armas, 2012/01/14

PAINTED BLACK was a really nice surprise. I had never seen them before – don’t think I’d ever HEARD about them before  – and I confess I wasn’t expecting such quality in their performance – goth/doom without being excessively depressive.   They’ve released their debut “Cold … Continue reading

PITCH BLACK @ Invicta X-MASsacre III, 2011/12/25

PITCH BLACK haven’t anything new to offer, still trying to complete their line-up and all, but X-MASsacre wouldn’t be X-MASsacre withouth the “thrash killing machine”  Besides, there’s no metalhead who gets tired of letting out some steam at the sound … Continue reading
