MOONSPELL @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2018/08/10

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. Yes, MOONSPELL again, but one, they’re awesome, and two, they had now another album (“1755”) which they didn’t have two years ago, so stop bitching. Even if Fernando Ribeiro seemed pissed at something – I know it’s … Continue reading

INSAMMER @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2018/08/09

This gallery contains 45 photos.

Originally shot for Glam Magazine. “Transfusion metal”, which apparently translates into “combining dark, pulsating Nordic grooves with Eastern European lyricism and melodic romanticism”.
