We were very fortunate in having had the opportunity to witness the mighty Enslaved celebrate their 25th anniversary in an immensely special gig, the first of this unique [...]

If people celebrate their birthdays every year, why should bands celebrate their anniversaries just every 5 years?

Guest bands were Sollust, Hills Have Eyes and Web, the hosts playing the second slot, but there wasn’t really an opening [...]

It has been five years since HEAVENWOOD released a record, and a couple since the last time they played live, so their return with the new album “The Tarot Of The Bohemians” had to be celebrated in style.

A musical mark was made last Saturday in Coimbra during the special release show of DESTROYERS OF ALL debut record “Bleak Fragments”, that was officially due on the 18th of March via Mosher Records.

Some while we travelled to Oslo, Norway, to witness a special event at this big venue called Rockefeller, event that sounded to us like a must see since the first time we heard the news about it last year, the decision was made and finally we were there to see SATYRICON performing their milestone “Nemesis [...]

The line was quite long when we first approached Paradise Garage and it was easy to confirm what we already suspected: inside, a jam-packed venue would be waiting for the long awaited Baroness. But before them, we had CORREIA and their psych-infused rock. It was only their second time on stage but don’t let that [...]

In a weekend with an other event claiming the spotlights of the media attention, we kept faithful to our convictions and drove to Benavente for a night where an appealing line-up was ahead of us. INFRA were the ones with opening credits and started not much after the scheduled hour. They occupy an unparallel seat [...]

Oporto was the stage for the return of one of gloomiest bands on earth, Swallow the Sun, and with them came another band from the land of thousand lakes, Wolfheart.

The past weekend saw the debut show of one of the most groundbreaking bands that emerged in the recent past: Ghost.

  After the boys had been back in town last Friday 13th it was time for the crooks to come pay us visit. Straight form the London sludge scene, the guys simply made their hallmark by making a scene on their double-neck guitar duo. That and of course, the rasputinean reincarnation w/ a voice straight-out-of-hell, [...]

Great evening in Paradise Garage for the long waited return of Ensiferum to Portugal. Invited to the show were Cruz de Ferro, classic heavy metal singed in Portuguese, proudly has the band said.
