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 →

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 →

OVERKILL @ Vagos Open Air, 2015/08/09

Posted on September 23, 2015 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. Thrash metal returned to Vagos in the form of OVERKILL – our “ugly cousins from New Jersey”, as Bobby Blitz himself described them. They indeed have a solid, crazy fan-base here – fans that make Bobby feel like he’s … Continue reading →

ORPHANED LAND @ Vagos Open Air, 2015/08/09

Posted on September 22, 2015 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. I’ve seen ORPHANED LAND a few times and know how popular they are here, but still Kobi Farhi felt the need to explain to the crowd that he wasn’t Jesus Christ, he only looked like him. … Continue reading →

TRIPTYKON @ Vagos Open Air, 2015/08/08

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. TRIPTYKON stirred another kind of turmoil – an emotional one. Although the crowdsurfers kept the security guys busy during the black metal parts that spice the doom nature of the band. Thomas Gabriel Fischer was particularly … Continue reading →

AMORPHIS @ Vagos Open Air, 2015/08/07

Posted on September 21, 2015 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. AMORPHIS‘ show was as brilliant as HSB’s, but on another kind of level – whereas the Germans exceled in adrenaline, the Finns did it in intensity. The main reason is, obviously, the nature of each … Continue reading →

HEAVEN SHALL BURN @ Vagos Open Air, 2015/08/07

Posted on September 20, 2015 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. But it was HEAVEN SHALL BURN who swept Vagos off its feet. Literally. The moshers and crowdsurfers had a field day. And the screamers too, as I believe this was the show with the loudest chorus sing-alongs … Continue reading →

VILDHJARTA @ Vagos Open Air, 2015/08/07

Posted on September 20, 2015 by Pieni

Originally written for Valkyrian Music. I was a little puzzled by VILDHJARTA’s presence in this festival. A MESHUGGAH-like band who hasn’t released anything new in two years nor have near-future plans except for a vinyl edition of their only full-length “Måsstaden”. An … Continue reading →

GOJIRA @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

Posted on November 22, 2014 by Pieni

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. However, this was GOJIRA’s night. I believe the Portuguese fans have been asking for the French band since the very first Vagos edition. As for them, they claimed they’d been expecting to play in Portugal … Continue reading →

PARADISE LOST @ Vagos Open Air, 2014/08/10

Posted on November 15, 2014 by Pieni

This gallery contains 96 photos.

Originally posted in Valkyrian Music. I guess everybody knows by now that a PARADISE LOST gig is either very good or sucks dish water, there’s no middle term. It all depends on Nick Holmes’ mood. Holmes not only was in a … Continue reading →
