LACUNA COIL @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/23

This gallery contains 63 photos.

For Thais. Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. I don’t think I’m wrong when I say that, despite the impact of this double dose of brutality, it was LACUNA COIL the great majority of the crowd was longing for. “Black … Continue reading

ETERNAL PSYCHO @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/23

This gallery contains 45 photos.

BLAME ZEUS @ Laurus Nobilis Music Fest, 2022/07/22

This gallery contains 51 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. The bill kept suffering line-up changes and so BLAME ZEUS and their progressive metal/rock followed suit. Because of the heat, Sandra Oliveira got on stage with her hair in a bun, which cut off … Continue reading

BLAME ZEUS @ Hard Club, 2022/06/10

This gallery contains 57 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. The venue wasn’t really full when BLAME ZEUS got on stage though. Despite being a national holiday and I’m-running-late-because-I’m-working not being a valid excuse, people have this weird tendency of skipping the opening act.. First … Continue reading

LEGACY OF CYNTHIA @ Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão, 2018/07/28

This gallery contains 60 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. No “alternative metal” band had played yet so LEGACY OF CYNTHIA had the pleasure of doing so, kicking off the third and last day of Laurus with their brilliant “Rats And Rattlesnakes”. Their sound is too exquisite … Continue reading

LEGACY OF CYNTHIA @ Cave 45, 2017/06/10

This gallery contains 69 photos.

LEGACY OF CYNTHIA‘s “Dance Macabre” is an album that I absolutely love. It was released in October last year but for one reason or another it took me a while to finally listen to it – that’s why it wasn’t … Continue reading

IN FLAMES’ “Battles”

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music.  When “Siren Charms” was released a couple of years ago, I complained about “its lack of ability to embrace my senses and leave a positive remark” (review here). Well I’m happy to say that ability has … Continue reading
