CAIN’S DINASTY @ River Stone Winterfest, 2022/04/23

This gallery contains 57 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. The “vampiric power metal” of CAIN’S DINASTY came with full force – and not even a technical problem with Álex Ramírez‘s guitar, right on the first song “Pure Evil”, put any kind of brake … Continue reading

STRATOVARIUS @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2019/08/11

This gallery contains 51 photos.

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. For my mom and Mourato. 16 years had gone by since STRATOVARIUS‘ last show in Portugal and Timo Kotipelto himself admitted that was way too long. Given the several line-up changes in the band, he asked … Continue reading

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. “Apocalypse” would celebrate its first anniversary the following day and PRIMAL FEAR were still promoting it throughout Europe – Vagos had the honor of hosting the Portuguese date. Ralf Scheepers mentioned more than once the pleasure … Continue reading

HELLOWEEN @ Multiusos Fontes do Sar, 2018/12/08

This gallery contains 123 photos.

I was only 14 when Michael Kiske left HELLOWEEN, so even though it was him singing the songs which made me like the band in the first place, I had never had the chance to see him live. At the … Continue reading

SONATA ARCTICA @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2018/08/11

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. Tony Kakko did warn us that they would play a “set of calmer songs” (not exactly in these words but with the same meaning) but still… As a friend said, “these are not the SONATA ARCTICA I … 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

ANGRA @ Hard Club, 2018/03/29

ANGRA were the headliners of the night, promoting their brand new album “ØMNI” (shame they didn’t bring along at least one female singer to perform “Black Widow’s Web”). Between new tracks like “Insania” and “War Horns”, oldies such as “Lullaby … Continue reading

HAMMERFALL @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. As WHITECHAPEL anticipated their exit, HAMMERFALL did the same with their entrance and “Hector’s Hymn” echoed around 22:30. The Swedes’ debut album “Glory To The Brave” celebrates its 20th anniversary this year but unlike some … Continue reading

ATTICK DEMONS @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. ATTICK DEMONS, on the other hand, celebrated more than 20 years of their heavy/power metal, so popular among the crowd. The past year saw the long-awaited release of “Let’s Raise Hell” and it was more … Continue reading

RHAPSODY @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/11

This gallery contains 54 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. It’s not the first time that a band splits up in two and both take the same name until the copyright battle is solved. This battle seemed peaceful with RHAPSODY back in 2006, when founder … Continue reading
