EXODUS @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2022/07/29

This gallery contains 69 photos.

Original Portuguese version written for Glam Magazine. Considered by most as the “5th element” of The Big Four of Thrash (by many the 4th, even, instead of ANTHRAX), EXODUS proved to be worthy of such consideration. In this other band of … Continue reading

HEATHEN @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2022/07/29

This gallery contains 69 photos.

Original Portuguese version written for Glam Magazine. Some bands use other artists’ classics to announce their entrance, but no one expected to listen to “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” by ABBA before HEATHEN got on stage. All of a … Continue reading

This gallery contains 63 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. DECAPITATED moved the day of their performance but HATE and AT THE GATES changed the year… With these changes, ORPHANED LAND became headliners and R.A.M.P. were called to replace HATE. But a little before … Continue reading

Revisited: SEPULTURA’s “The Mediator Between Head And Hands Must Be The Heart”

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. I haven’t followed SEPULTURA very closely in a long while (in fact, I’ve never done it “closely”, but I paid some attention between “Beneath The Remains” and “Roots”), but I’ve heard enough to be able to say that their 13th studio … Continue reading

SEPULTURA’s “SepulQuarta”

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to a new reality regarding live music, with online streaming of concerts and such. Still I’m having trouble considering “SepulQuarta” a live album, whether its tracks have been part of podcasts or … Continue reading

Revisited: WEB @ Irmandade Metálica, 2009/05/16

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Still with no new gigs booked in a near future, and being Filipe‘s birthday today, revisiting WEB‘s performance at Irmandade Metálica, back in 2009, seemed like a good idea.  The event took place in Benavente, at the famous Side B, … Continue reading

2005, when someone put up a metal fest in their basement, in some village (Vila Cova de Carros) in the middle of nowhere! Now those were the days… http://www.facebook.com/PitchBlackThrash

REVOLUTION WITHIN’s “Chaos” release party @ Hard Club, 2020/11/06

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Original Portuguese version on World Of Metal. The crowd’s response to INFRAKTOR was stellar, but when the intro “Nebula” echoed, there was no doubt left about whom they all were really waiting for. “Chaos” had been released a week before and … Continue reading
