REVOLUTION WITHIN @ Metalpoint, 2018/03/02

Being great friends and rehearsal-roommates, REVOLUTION WITHIN was the obvious choice for INFRAKTOR‘s second guests. Fierce show as always, “From Madness To Sanity” is still my favorite song off their current “Annihilation”. http://www.facebook.com/revolutionwithinband/

THERION @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

This gallery contains 105 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. With such foreplay, it took only the first chords of “Theme Of Antichrist” to drive the crowd to a climax which would last throughout the almost-2-hour long performance of THERION. Some highlights of their latest opera – … Continue reading

IMPERIAL AGE @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. If the Germans were the furthest from THERION in genre, Russian IMPERIAL AGE were the closest, with their symphonic/opera metal. The release of their third album “The Legacy Of Atlantis” earlier this month outlined their setlist, but they … Continue reading

NULL POSITIV @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. Female singer as well, but completely different posture, NULL POSITIV followed suit. That so-German alternative, post-industrial sound which “recognizes the signs of the times”, to quote their own motto. Even if Elli Berlin joined THERION on stage to … Continue reading

MIDNIGHT ETERNAL @ Hard Club, 2018/02/21

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. MIDNIGHT ETERNAL was the first band on stage. Frankly, I’d never heard of them before, but then again, symphonic power metal with a female lyric voice – and occasional male growls – isn’t exactly my cup … Continue reading

ROTTING CHRIST @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

More than the ring the combination has to it, I believe the tour was named after both headliners’ latest works only because of that – their shortest lifetime. After all, ROTTING CHRIST‘s “Rituals” had already been released two years prior, … Continue reading

CARACH ANGREN @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

“Seriously? Another band named after Tolkien?” was my first thought when learning about the bill, I must confess. The Dutch symphonic black metal band has been around for quite a while, but since the genre is not exactly my favorite … Continue reading

SVART CROWN @ Hard Club, 2018/02/09

The black/death metal of SVART CROWN warmed up the Rituals Amongst The Rotten European Tour. Performing songs off their last three albums – meaning that only the debut “Ages Of Decay” was left out – the French quartet was warmly … Continue reading

SHADOWSPHERE @ Hard Club, 2017/12/29

We all had bad days and this was one of them for SHADOWSPHERE – or at least to my eyes (and ears). Maybe I was just expecting more, after the great show I’d seen three months prior, at Cave 45 … Continue reading

MOONSPELL’s “1755” release party @ Hard Club, 2017/11/01

This gallery contains 81 photos.

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
