BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/13

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. Nowadays, headliner stands for “headlining the prime time” and not playing last; therefore BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA got on stage already past 00:30. However, given the excellence of their gig, no one should feel the urge … Continue reading

DARK FUNERAL @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/13

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. DARK FUNERAL‘s black metal isn’t that charming for those who dislike the genre, but on the other hand it drew a small army to Vagos for the first time. The Swedes brought along a … Continue reading

BETRAYING THE MARTYRS @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/13

This gallery contains 75 photos.

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. The organization deserves kudos for trying to please everybody, going for a wide diversity of genres. So after the national stoner of CORREIA, the French deathcore of BETRAYING THE MARTYRS followed suit. The highly … Continue reading

QUINTETO EXPLOSIVO @ Laurus Nobilis Música Famalicão, 2016/07/22

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. QUINTETO EXPLOSIVO is Portuguese for “explosive quintet”. If that doesn’t hint you about their goofiness, check out the Deadpool and Captain America outfits… The lyrics are also mischievous, full of offensive slang, and while some are pure … Continue reading

VIA SACRA @ Laurus Nobilis Música Famalicão, 2016/07/22

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. It was a little past seven when VIA SACRA got on stage with a long and somewhat mystic intro – that sadly everyone heard from the outside. This is probably the only complaint I have about … Continue reading

EPICA @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/08

This gallery contains 93 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. There were LOADS of EPICA fans in Vagos, so whoever thought it was a mistake to invite them again (they performed at the first edition of the fest) couldn’t be more wrong. Simone Simons’ voice was … Continue reading

SOILWORK @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/08

This gallery contains 78 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. It had been 11 years since I’d last seen SOILWORK – which was the last time they’d played in Portugal. So I don’t know if it’s usual for them to use THE ALAN PARSON’s “Sirius” as … Continue reading

KANDIA @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/08

This gallery contains 78 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Things cooled down a bit, but only in terms of “brutality” – KANDIA is a modern / alternative rock band, so no mosh pits for them. But that doesn’t mean that their show was less electrifying. … Continue reading

GATES OF HELL @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/08

This gallery contains 96 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. GATES OF HELL must feel proud, and not just for kicking the festival off: it’s not easy for an underground band to gather so many people on a hot Friday, at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, … Continue reading
