This gallery contains 45 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. As MADDER MORTEM hadn’t played here for quite a while, they were more than happy to go back before the release of “Red In Tooth And Claw”, which is the album they’re currently promoting; just as happy as … Continue reading

HEAVENWOOD @ Hard Club, 2017/10/20

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. HEAVENWOOD set foot on stage at nine sharp. As I’ve mentioned last time I’ve seen them (see here), EQUALEFT–Miguel Inglês occasionally assumes the singer role, whenever Ernesto Guerra can’t make it. This was one of those … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ Metalpoint, 2017/10/07

This gallery contains 63 photos.

When SOTZ’ released their debut EP, they invited three bands to the party. For the same reason given on previous events – huge backlog – I only shot the hosts and, of course, my boys INFRAKTOR. REVOLUTION WITHIN-Raça was attending, … Continue reading

HILLS HAVE EYES @ River Stone, 2017/09/23

This gallery contains 81 photos.

September nights by the river is the furthest thing from warm, but when your favorite band is playing – especially on the drummer’s birthday – your concern about temperature is just as far. Given the huge backlog FRF has, I … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ Fora de Rebanho, 2017/09/02

It seems that I’ve seen ECHIDNA‘s first show, back in 2005, or at least one off the first batch of shows. I was amazed at how they stormed that small stage – the brainstorm one at the original Hard Club … Continue reading

HAVOK @ Vagos Metal Fest 2017/08/13

This gallery contains 42 photos.

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

MISS LAVA @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. MISS LAVA caused quite the fuss as well, as their stoner rock highlights pretty much the “rock” part. “Sonic Debris” is already their third album and it served both as the start up – “The … Continue reading

REAKTION @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/13

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

POWERWOLF @ Vagos Metal Fest, 2017/08/12

This gallery contains 51 photos.

Original Portuguese version on Glam Magazine. When POWERWOLF first played in Portugal (2005, as support act to GAMMA RAY), few people – or none – knew who they were. A lot has changed in these past 12 years, but even … Continue reading
