SOTZ’ “Tzak’ Sotz'” release party @ Metalpoint, 2017/10/07

After the mind-blowing performance of INFRAKTOR, I was a bit tired to fight for a good spot and shoot SOTZ’ full show. Took just a handful – being careful enough to have at least one decent frame of each member … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ Metalpoint, 2017/10/07

This gallery contains 63 photos.

When SOTZ’ released their debut EP, they invited three bands to the party. For the same reason given on previous events – huge backlog – I only shot the hosts and, of course, my boys INFRAKTOR. REVOLUTION WITHIN-Raça was attending, … Continue reading

SOULFLY @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/12

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. Compared to what came next, though, those circles were child’s play; the level of adrenaline rose up several grams and its effect was much more violent, even if not necessarily aggressive. Of course there’s always … Continue reading

IMPLORE @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/12

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. Despite the attendance numbers being more or less the same as the previous day’s, one couldn’t tell so at four p.m. when IMPLORE got on stage. Still they had a tight and enthusiastic crowd … Continue reading

REVOLUTION WITHIN @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/11

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. With no intention of making a tacky pun (but already doing it), Vagos got revolutionary with REVOLUTION WITHIN. The security staff’s nightmare – crowdsurfers, one after another – started right with the first song, “Suicide … Continue reading

WEB @ Milagre Metaleiro, 2017/07/22
