2022: gold, silver and bronze medals

Posted on January 2, 2023 by Pieni

Dear Front-Rowers, with the COVID situation nearly controlled, my presence at live shows looked like it would increase to normal numbers. But “nearly” is the key-word here, and then Putin had that brilliant idea of almost kicking off World War … Continue reading →

2021: gold, silver and bronze medals

Posted on January 1, 2022 by Pieni

I’ve been giving these virtual medals for 10 years now, so you can understand how heartbroken I am that this 10th anniversary edition is so poor in numbers: 9 events, featuring 25 performances, all in my home country, all in … Continue reading →

MOONSPELL’s “Hermitage”

Posted on February 26, 2021 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. I’ve never been quite comfortable in calling MOONSPELL “gothic metal” as that’s too much of a specific term to grasp all aspects of their music; “dark metal”, covering a broader range of said aspects, sounds more fitting. … Continue reading →

MOONSPELL @ Super Bock Arena, 2020/12/17

This gallery contains 48 photos.

For Suzy and Phil. Funny how you’re so hungry for live music and then almost miss a concert next door to your granddad’s… But there’s a Portuguese saying that goes something like “those who have friends don’t die in prison”, … Continue reading →

MOONSPELL @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2018/08/10

Posted on February 11, 2019 by Pieni

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. Yes, MOONSPELL again, but one, they’re awesome, and two, they had now another album (“1755”) which they didn’t have two years ago, so stop bitching. Even if Fernando Ribeiro seemed pissed at something – I know it’s … Continue reading →

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. Today is the release of MOONSPELL’s so awaited “1755” (review here). Three shows were performed in advance and I attended the last one – the one when the infamous 1755 earthquake completed its 262nd anniversary. A drawing of … Continue reading →

MOONSPELL’s “1755”

Posted on February 21, 2018 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. Whether one likes it or not, MOONSPELL have changed the way Portugal’s metal scene is looked at. It’s been 25 successful years, so they’re not releasing now a conceptual album, in their native tongue, because … Continue reading →

2017: gold, silver and bronze medals

Posted on January 2, 2018 by Pieni

In all these years of blogging I’ve been out-of-date a few times, but this is the first time I’m running on a 4-month delay. As it wouldn’t make much sense to post the 2017 balance by Easter, I’ve decided to … Continue reading →

2016: gold, silver and bronze medals

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Pieni

Still have a few 2016 articles to post, but they’re not relevant for the “medal awarding” one, so there’s no reason to postpone it anymore – and what better date to it than my birthday? As usual, let’s start with … Continue reading →

XX years of MOONSPELL’s “Irreligious” @ Multiusos de Guimarães, 2016/12/02

Posted on December 30, 2016 by Pieni

MOONSPELL isn’t one of my favorite bands but I like them pretty much.“Wolfheart” was a constant play back in high-school and then “Irreligious” truly left a mark . But that was it. Afterwards only random songs – not full albums – … Continue reading →
