INFRAKTOR @ BBBlast! Party, 2017/06/03

This gallery contains 60 photos.

Then came INFRAKTOR and their first-class thrash. At the time they were one bassist short, and as much as I love that deep sound and missed it badly, the gig was still pretty… ferocious.  Popas assured the line-up would soon be … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ Blindagem Metal Fest, 2017/04/29

This gallery contains 54 photos.

Originally posted on Valkyrian Music. First band getting on stage was INFRAKTOR, “ferocious thrash” straight out of Escapães. It was the only national band on the bill and made it right by their country – I used the quote marks … Continue reading

INFRAKTOR @ D.R.A.C., 2017/03/25

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

GRIMLET’s “Theia” presentation @ D.R.A.C., 2017/03/25

This gallery contains 48 photos.

“Theia: Aesthetics Of A Lie” is another Raising Legends title on my to-review list so I was eager for this gig – especially since they were playing in their hometown – and they didn’t let me down. It had been … Continue reading

IN VEIN @ D.R.A.C., 2017/03/25

This gallery contains 48 photos.

Second band on stage was GRIMLET‘s label buddies IN VEIN. They insert themselves in the category “death/groove metal”, but I believe there’s something more in there. Good posture on stage, I can give you that much. Their debut album “Resurrect” … Continue reading

TREPID ELUCIDATION @ D.R.A.C., 2017/03/25

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Technical death metal is far and further away from my cup of tea, but I recognize talent when I see it. And these kids in TREPID ELUCIDATION exhale it. Their debut album “Upcoming Reality” had been release a month prior … Continue reading

This gallery contains 42 photos.

Third is the charm and the third band on stage was the most anticipated one. As a reviewer, I had the honor of listening to “Theory Of Perception” in advance, but to the majority of the crowd this was the … Continue reading

PROJECTO SEM NOME @ Hard Club, 2017/03/04

This gallery contains 51 photos.

PROJECTO SEM NOME had better lights – except on bassist Eugénio – but then again, drummer Rui, who’s also a photographer, may have given some instructions to the tech. He even teased me a bit prior to the show, mentioning … Continue reading

HILLS HAVE EYES + GRANKAPO + BORDERLANDS @ Hard Club, 2017/02/17

This gallery contains 12 photos.

Three prominent bands from the Lisbon Metropolitan Area headed out to Porto to play a gig, just like that. No tour, no new album to promote, no anniversary to celebrate… just good ol’ ‘core to spice up a Friday night. BORDERLANDS … Continue reading
