FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM @ Hard Club, 2018/03/31

Posted on September 13, 2018 by Pieni

BAL ONIRIQUE is such an underground goth band that you can barely find anything about them online. They’ve been around for over a decade – there’s the release of a single, “Jadis et Naguère”, dating back from 2007 – but … Continue reading →

ANGRA @ Hard Club, 2018/03/29

Posted on September 9, 2018 by Pieni

ANGRA were the headliners of the night, promoting their brand new album “ØMNI” (shame they didn’t bring along at least one female singer to perform “Black Widow’s Web”). Between new tracks like “Insania” and “War Horns”, oldies such as “Lullaby … Continue reading →

OPERATION: MINDCRIME @ Hard Club, 2018/03/29

Posted on September 7, 2018 by Pieni

This gallery contains 45 photos.

QUEENSRYCHE‘s “Operation: Mindcrime” was released in May 1988 and it didn’t take long to be acknowledged as a masterpiece. Its sequel was far from it, but when both albums were fully performed in the 20th anniversary of the first one, … Continue reading →

HALCYON WAY @ Hard Club, 2018/03/29

Posted on August 26, 2018 by Pieni

A kind of progressive metal came up next, all the way from Atlanta, by the hands of HALCYON WAY. With a larger discography than their predecessors AVELION, their set was more balanced between older and newer material – also because … Continue reading →

AVELION @ Hard Club, 2018/03/29

Posted on August 20, 2018 by Pieni

Melodic power metal from Parma, Italy, opening up for ANGRA. Even if they’ve been around for 10 years and released two EP in the first half of that decade, AVELION‘s setlist focused only on their debut full-length “Illusion Of Transparency”, … Continue reading →

THERION @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on July 7, 2018 by Pieni

This gallery contains 105 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. With such foreplay, it took only the first chords of “Theme Of Antichrist” to drive the crowd to a climax which would last throughout the almost-2-hour long performance of THERION. Some highlights of their latest opera – … Continue reading →

IMPERIAL AGE @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on June 30, 2018 by Pieni

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. If the Germans were the furthest from THERION in genre, Russian IMPERIAL AGE were the closest, with their symphonic/opera metal. The release of their third album “The Legacy Of Atlantis” earlier this month outlined their setlist, but they … Continue reading →

NULL POSITIV @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on June 20, 2018 by Pieni

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. Female singer as well, but completely different posture, NULL POSITIV followed suit. That so-German alternative, post-industrial sound which “recognizes the signs of the times”, to quote their own motto. Even if Elli Berlin joined THERION on stage to … Continue reading →

MIDNIGHT ETERNAL @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Posted on June 16, 2018 by Pieni

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. MIDNIGHT ETERNAL was the first band on stage. Frankly, I’d never heard of them before, but then again, symphonic power metal with a female lyric voice – and occasional male growls – isn’t exactly my cup … Continue reading →

ROTTING CHRIST @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

Posted on June 10, 2018 by Pieni

More than the ring the combination has to it, I believe the tour was named after both headliners’ latest works only because of that – their shortest lifetime. After all, ROTTING CHRIST‘s “Rituals” had already been released two years prior, … Continue reading →
