This gallery contains 54 photos.

TWILIGHT FORCE @ Coliseu do Porto, 2017/01/20

Posted on February 26, 2017 by Pieni

This gallery contains 60 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The name TWILIGHT FORCE hinted of power metal, and the dragon in the backdrop brought a positive certainty, even before the fast, chirpy melodies flooded the halls. A strange mix but they’re from Falun too and … Continue reading →

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. TARANTULA is one of the biggest names in our heavy metal history so even though they haven’t been playing much and their latest record dates from 2010, it made sense to have them headlining this event. … Continue reading →

DRAGONHAMMER @ Hard Club, 2014/04/03

Posted on June 8, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Italian DragonhammeR came next and, unlike me, many knew them well enough. “The X Experiment” was released last December (after a studio break that lasted almost ten years), so they focused a little bit more on … Continue reading →

MINDFEEDER @ Hard Club, 2014/03/15

Posted on April 18, 2014 by Pieni

TARANTULA @ Vagos Open Air, 2013/08/10

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version at Sound(/)Zone. » The WEB gig was so good that the more traditional heavy/power metal of TARANTULA took a while to sink in, sounding weak in comparison. Still, everyone raised their fists in the air around the second … Continue reading →
