DISCHARGE @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/14

Posted on October 4, 2016 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. Living up to their name, DISCHARGE were an adrenaline release. I believe it was “Fight Back” that guitarist Tezz dedicated to the late icon Lemmy, but the songs were played in such a merciless … Continue reading →

SHAPE @ 1st anniversary BBBlast, 2016/06/04

Posted on September 1, 2016 by Pieni

Took a few lousy pics of SHAPE in 2013 (see here) and I wish I’d done a better job now too… Back then they had only the EP “Shape 2011” out and were releasing the second “Desistir É Impossível” (giving up … Continue reading →

THE IDYLL’S END @ 1st anniversary BBBlast, 2016/06/04

Posted on August 30, 2016 by Pieni

I may be wrong, but I believe that THE IDYLL’S END was the band that suffered the most with the early blackout at the venue, having to cut their setlist real short – at least I had the feeling that they … Continue reading →

Posted on April 25, 2016 by Pieni

Originally posted in The Black Planet. The crowd gathered tighter in front of the stage to welcome GRANKAPO. And then scattered to “dance around”, as requested by singer Fuck. Considered one of the most notable hardcore acts of our underground, … Continue reading →

COME CACOS @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 25, 2016 by Pieni

With a singer drunk as hell, COME CACOS stormed the stage. He didn’t even know the name of the band who had lent them some gear (it was SOUL OF ANUBIS, by the way). But hey, they’re a punk band … Continue reading →

THE IDYLL’S END @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 20, 2016 by Pieni

Once again, Vitinha and his Rock On Música SJM promoted a band contest to elect the opening act for this year’s Casainhos Fest. In a proper venue this time, although the lights still sucked. So even though I missed shooting … Continue reading →

DEVIL IN ME’s “Soul Rebel”

Posted on November 20, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Rumor has it that “Soul Rebel” is one of the most expected albums in the European hardcore scene. Whether that’s true or just publicist talk, this piece will certainly make big waves. And not just … Continue reading →

DIMENSION @ Hard Club, 2015/10/23

Posted on November 3, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I’d seen DIMENSION back in August, at Casainhos Fest, but this was the first time they were playing in Porto, promoting their debut album “Life Is A Mystery”. The latter has been getting a very positive feedback … Continue reading →

MATA-RATOS @ Casainhos Fest, 2015/08/29

Posted on October 8, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. A lot of people left after ANGELUS APATRIDA – not exactly because MATA-RATOS aren’t good at what they do (hardcore punk) but because they haven’t released anything new in eight years, and after eleven bands, half of them … Continue reading →

DEVIL IN ME @ Casainhos Fest, 2015/08/29

Posted on October 6, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. DEVIL IN ME are among the high-rank Portuguese hardcore bands and it will only take a couple of songs for you to understand why. Once again, Poli brought up the open-mindedness (and lack of it) subject, … Continue reading →
