Moita Metal Fest, 2016/04/02 – the rest

After HILLS HAVE EYES I took a break for dinner, returning to the venue in time to catch the last couple of songs by SIMBIOSE. Personally, not a great loss, as crust punk is far from my cup of tea. … Continue reading

THE GRAVEDIGGERS @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

After FORTUNE TELLER pulled out (no one understood very well why), THE GRAVEDIGGERS stepped in. Can’t accurately tell what they play as they mix a bunch of genres… and it works. They’re clearly a new band, I hope they keep … Continue reading
