Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. It was HAVOK, though, who brought the expression “break everything  up” to life. For many, this was the best concert of the festival, but given the diversity of genres, let’s just say that this was … Continue reading

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. The last day of the fest began with REAKTION‘s thrash. Even less people at that hour – three days of festival were weighing on – but in sufficient numbers to welcome the Spanish with open … Continue reading

GAMA BOMB @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/11

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. What happens when you join together cheerful, good-drinker Irish and thrash metal? GAMA BOMB! Philly Byrne was happy to see so many girls as “back home” only hairy ugly guys would attend their shows. It … Continue reading

SEPULTURA @ Hard Club, 2017/07/04

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. There were a lot of EQUALEFT t-shirts in the crowd, but when Derrick Green himself goes on stage wearing one… damn, even I felt proud – hence the need of mentioning this little detail. Regarding what … Continue reading

NUCLEAR WARFARE @ Blindagem Metal Fest, 2017/04/29

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. There’s a reason for German thrash to be so popular and NUCLEAR WARFARE reminded us why, inflaming mosh circles practically from the first minute. Singer/bassist Fritz knew a few words in Portuguese – after all, … Continue reading

Revisited: DEATH ANGEL’s “The Evil Divide”

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. It’s been almost three decades since the release of “The Ultra-Violence”, and even though none of DEATH ANGEL’s later albums achieved the same success, the Bay Area band has always stood way above the average thrash … Continue reading

This gallery contains 60 photos.

A new band – ’cause that’s what INFRAKTOR is, nevertheless – playing after the event hosts and on the night we set the clocks for Daylight Saving Time… I was afraid the crowd would disband. But they didn’t! I mean, … Continue reading
