MIDNIGHT PRIEST @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2019/08/10

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. MIDNIGHT PRIEST weren’t the first ones suffering from an extremely high volume, but they were the first having their sound distorted by such unbalance. Especially Lex Thunder‘s voice, whose words became barely understandable – even those … Continue reading

MEMORIAM @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2018/08/12

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. I won’t say it feels like yesterday that I was watching Vanessa Warwick playing BOLT THROWER‘s “Cenopath” on Headbangers’ Ball, but it surely doesn’t feel like +20 years ago either… After drummer Martin “Kiddie” Kearns died in … Continue reading

TARANTULA @ Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão, 2018/07/28

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. Getting TARANTULA to play between CRISIX and DARK TRANQUILLITY wasn’t the best of options – unless the idea was for the crowd to recharge batteries. Their old school heavy/power metal is legendary around these parts, but even with … Continue reading

No More Tours 2 @ Altice Arena, 2018/07/02

OZZY OSBOURNE + JUDAS PRIEST, KISS + MEGADETH and IRON MAIDEN. All in less than a fortnight, all happening on working days, all in Lisbon. A choice had to be made, but honestly it was a no-brainer: I’ve seen MAIDEN … Continue reading

ACCEPT @ Coliseu do Porto, 2017/01/20

This gallery contains 66 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The “Generation Clash” – song they sadly didn’t play – went wild the moment Christopher Williams stood behind the drums screaming in salute. We have a saying in Portugal that goes something like “old are … Continue reading

KREATOR @ VOA Fest, 2016/08/06

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. When entering the photo-pit for KREATOR we were advised to stay somewhat away from the stage during the first song – “Enemy Of God”, as it turned out – so we were hoping for some fireworks. … Continue reading

DEMENTIA 13 @ Moita Metal Fest, 2016/04/02

Probably the worst DEMENTIA 13 pics I’ve taken so far – definitely the worst I’ve taken that day. Unlike the gig, which was amazing. The new live line-up – Orca on the mic and Marcelo behind the drum kit – … Continue reading

ANGELUS APATRIDA @ Casainhos Fest, 2015/08/29

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. ANGELUS APATRIDA was the only non-Portuguese band of the fest, old school thrash metal from “country next door” Spain. But they’re part of the family, not just for the solid fan-base they’ve built here over the … Continue reading
