Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. LILITH’S REVENGE weren’t just introducing their debut album “Children From Eden” – they were playing their first show as well. A shame that guitarist Bruno Sousa was infected by the infamous COVID-19 and … Continue reading

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Expofacic, an agricultural and industrial fair in Cantanhede – probably one of the last places I’d expect to see a WHITESNAKE gig (just like I’d never dreamed of watching EUROPE perform at a water park opening in Vila Real a … Continue reading

L.A. GUNS @ Whisky A Go Go, 2019/12/31 (live stream)

For Artur, Mourato and Miguel. Once upon a time, I’d head to a venue pretty early to secure my spot in the front row. Lately I’ve been “arriving” in front of the computer half an hour early to make sure … Continue reading

25 years of “The Crimson Idol” @ O2 Forum Kentish Town, 2017/10/27

“I was born Jonathan Aaron Steel…”. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read this story. Not to mention the ones I’ve listened to – and still do – the album that serves as its soundtrack. It’s been 25 … Continue reading

W.A.S.P.’s “Golgotha”

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Over the 33 years of W.A.S.P.’s existence, mastermind Blackie Lawless has managed to forge a very characteristic sound – although his unique voice is quite the trademark already. Sure, he often cheats, by recycling some riffs … Continue reading

LETZ ZEP @ Hard Club, 2015/02/06

This gallery contains 54 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. It’s not always bad to get “the second best”. In this case, it was amazing to get a tribute/cover band instead of the original. And don’t think that the fact that LED ZEPPELIN are retired, leaving … Continue reading
