Posted on May 17, 2020 by Pieni

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. For my cousin Inglês. It seems that JINJER were somewhat afraid that the Vagos crowd wouldn’t like them very much, as their mix of groove + hardcore + prog didn’t “fit in” with the rest of … Continue reading →

SOEN @ Hard Club, 2017/10/20

Posted on February 12, 2018 by Pieni

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. Everybody was already hyped, so when the first chords of “Canvas” echoed, we all reached the ultimate climax – listening to the crowd singing through and through, but especially along the guitars in “Jinn”, was a … Continue reading →

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. As MADDER MORTEM hadn’t played here for quite a while, they were more than happy to go back before the release of “Red In Tooth And Claw”, which is the album they’re currently promoting; just as happy as … Continue reading →

BLAME ZEUS @ Hard Club, 2016/03/26

Posted on April 12, 2016 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Things cooled down considerably with BLAME ZEUS, as their more progressive approach is spirited but much less aggressive. They’re about to go through some major line-up changes – both guitarists and the bassist still played … Continue reading →

SOUL OF ANUBIS @ Oliva Creative Factory, 2016/03/11

Posted on March 24, 2016 by Pieni

SOUL OF ANUBIS was the band that got my vote. Not because I’ve known drummer Shaq for a decade, but because I know his talent and that night I had the chance to verify that the other two guys in … Continue reading →

BLAME ZEUS @ Hard Club, 2015/05/09

Posted on July 8, 2015 by Pieni

I believe it was CINEMUERTE who organized the event – at least both DESERTO and BLAME ZEUS thanked them for the invitation – but despite that and their much longer career, the headlining role was played by BLAME ZEUS. Probably … Continue reading →

OPETH @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/09

Posted on October 23, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Now OPETH… I’ll start with something Mikael Åkerfeldt said at some point, regarding a song I honestly can’t remember the name, but he said that “if it sounds like a fuck-up, it isn’t. It’s just … Continue reading →
