TESTAMENT’s “Brotherhood Of The Snake”

Posted on December 13, 2016 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. Formed in 1983 as LEGACY, TESTAMENT were forced to change their name – the usual there’s-already-a-band-with-that-name thing – and that change happened three years later. So even if their whole history is a bit older, TESTAMENT turn … Continue reading →

This gallery contains 51 photos.

Because Casainhos isn’t just a “‘core” festival, it also featured a few metal bands in the bill. Coimbra thrashers TERROR EMPIRE were the first ones. A handful of fans moshed around and sang along the lyrics to their debut album … Continue reading →

VEKTOR @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2016/08/13

Posted on September 26, 2016 by Pieni

Original Portuguese version at Glam Magazine. North-American VEKTOR offered a more “old school” sound, enhancing the headbang, the mosh and the crowdsurf with their technical, somewhat progressive thrash metal. They focused on “Terminal Redux” not only because it’s their latest … Continue reading →

KREATOR @ VOA Fest, 2016/08/06

Posted on September 24, 2016 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. When entering the photo-pit for KREATOR we were advised to stay somewhat away from the stage during the first song – “Enemy Of God”, as it turned out – so we were hoping for some fireworks. … Continue reading →

Got a ride with my godfather to Corroios to see PITCH BLACK opening for ONSLAUGHT in this mini-fest called Thrashmania (4th edition already). The other bands on the bill were DEATHLAND and HEADSTONE (nowadays HEAD:STONED). SWITCHTENSE-Hugo was helping PITCH BLACK … Continue reading →

WRATH SINS @ Raising Legends Xmas Special, 2015/12/19

Posted on December 26, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. People here are used to underground events starting late but forgot that Hard Club is an on-time venue (especially when it has other shows taking place afterwards). Such neglect resulted in WRATH SINS being welcomed … Continue reading →

STUCKER @ Cave 45, 2015/11/28

Posted on December 14, 2015 by Pieni

Apparently I’d seen STUCKER before that night – there are a few photos in my archive – but I have no recollection of such gig. And the same will probably happen to this one… Let’s just say that the number and … Continue reading →

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Pieni

This gallery contains 57 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. The place had been filling in and it was pretty packed by the time ANNIHILATOR got on stage. Not a sold-out venue, but still a number beautiful enough. Even though I liked Dave Padden very much, I … Continue reading →

ANGELUS APATRIDA @ Casainhos Fest, 2015/08/29

Posted on October 7, 2015 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. ANGELUS APATRIDA was the only non-Portuguese band of the fest, old school thrash metal from “country next door” Spain. But they’re part of the family, not just for the solid fan-base they’ve built here over the … Continue reading →
