Barroselas will once again dress in black between 23 and 26 April for 17th Edition of Barroselas SWR Metalfest.
At first glance , the small village of Barroselas Minho looks like a village like any other. Four thousand , one coffee every two corners , a supermarket and a sports complex would make it similar to many others scattered everywhere in Portugal, with one detail: every year thousands of pilgrims travel to the site, almost all dressed in black, for the biggest festival of extreme music of the Iberian Peninsula: SWR Barroselas Metalfest.
The festival began in 1998 , being the work of Tiago and Ricardo Veiga , two brothers born and raised in the small town , who decided to materialize their love for Heavy Metal into something more concrete , like organizing the first edition of an event which is now in the seventeenth always in Barroselas . Much has changed since then , and the festival has been growing healthily from year to year, and there have passed some of the big names of the genre, from the four corners of the world , especially bands like Immortal , Venom , Ratos de Porão, Kreator , Sodom , Napalm Death and Brujeria , which will delight lovers of heavier music.
This year’s Metalfest SWR Barroselas will take place in April 23th to the 26th, and has over fifty metal bands and their derivatives . Among the big names stand out Metal Church , Discharge, Gorguts , Misery Index , Hirax , Anaal Nathrakh , Pungent Stench and In Solitude .
