DISCHARGE @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/14

Posted on October 4, 2016 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. Living up to their name, DISCHARGE were an adrenaline release. I believe it was “Fight Back” that guitarist Tezz dedicated to the late icon Lemmy, but the songs were played in such a merciless … Continue reading →

TRIBULATION @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/14

Posted on October 3, 2016 by Pieni

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. TRIBULATION‘s progressive black metal brings a breath of fresh air to the genre but it’s undoubtedly their posture on stage that causes a fuss – especially guitarist Jonathan Hultén. With androgynous looks and swift … Continue reading →

Posted on September 29, 2016 by Pieni

VEKTOR @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/13

Posted on September 26, 2016 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. North-American VEKTOR offered a more “old school” sound, enhancing the headbang, the mosh and the crowdsurf with their technical, somewhat progressive thrash metal.

Posted on September 19, 2016 by Pieni

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. In previous editions, the first band of each day was always Portuguese, so having a Spanish opening act was a first – thrashers SOLDIER did the honors. VOA is part of their “The Great Western Oligarchy tour 2016”, … Continue reading →

Posted on October 7, 2015 by Pieni

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 →

OVERKILL @ Vagos Open Air, 2015/08/09

Posted on September 23, 2015 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. Thrash metal returned to Vagos in the form of OVERKILL – our “ugly cousins from New Jersey”, as Bobby Blitz himself described them. They indeed have a solid, crazy fan-base here – fans that make Bobby feel like he’s … Continue reading →
