Concerts

On the 26th of September, Wrath Sins took Metalpoint by storm to commemorate the release of their debut record “Contempt Over The Stormfall”. Evilution opened the night with their gig. Their performance cause the first few movements in the crowed, although the house wasn’t nearly was made as it should. But that didn’t bothered them, [...]

Ever since we were into STEVEN WILSON, we were immediately grasped by his art. The guru of neo prog was promoting his new disc Hand. Cannot. Erase, and once again we were pulled into his storytelling. And to what a story told is concerned, Wilson undertakes that task very seriously. The point is to be [...]

It has been quite a while since both bands on today’s bill have been to Lisbon and so the excitement in the air was almost palpable, even before the doors opened. The crowd was growing fast and a big line outside Paradise Garage was fidgeting to get inside and unleash hell. The last time SUICIDE [...]

Almost one year after a demolishing concert at the Vagos Open Air festival, French Metal heavyweights Gojira are back in Portugal, only this time for a concert as headliners. UK based The Raven Age, a melodic Metal band featuring George Harris, son of Iron Maiden’s bassist Steve Harris, took the stage as opening act. With [...]

In a hot summer night the darkness and grim have descended into Hard Club (Porto) for a ritualistic night of black metal. NEVOA, the Portuguese newcomers in the black metal scene, opened the night. They presented their debut record “Absence of Void”, released earlier this year, with a very atmospheric and intense ambiance. Although live the band is [...]

Coimbra’s States Club is a small venue which has become a landmark when it comes to Metal concerts in the city of Students. This time three northern bands came to destroy the small stage of this club. The first band to play was THE LAST OF THEM from Aveiro, a Groove/Thrash metal band. In the [...]

When the clock hit the 10.30pm mark, the set time for Music Box to open it’s doors, we could already find a long line, covering with black the infamous “pink street” in Cais do Sodré, Lisbon. Restless souls, expecting for King Dude’s luciferian blessing, anxiously awaiting for this much anticipated evening to start. With an [...]

Since their first appearance in Portuguese soil back in 2009, North Americans White Hills have established themselves as one of the main ambassadors of the new wave of psychedelic rock. Or space rock as the most daring minds prefer to call it. Last Thursday at Music Box, Lisbon was the track for another lift off [...]

If a year ago someone told us that Black Metal nights in central Lisbon would come to stay we would laugh about it. But now, after less than four months, 2015 has proved us differently. One of the main responsible is Notre Dame Prod. that took two veteran Polish bands to our shore for the [...]

Corpus Christii have a new album and, under the sign of Notre Dame Productions, Lisbon was the start point for the live presentations of “Palemoon”. But before the highlight of the night, two bands warmed the well filled room of RCA. About INFRA we’ve already wrote a lot over the past last year, but each [...]

2015 has just started and so many highlights of the year are already likely to be chosen.  Undoubtedly one of them happened last Saturday at RCA Club, with BIZARRA LOCOMOTIVA presenting exclusively their new album “Mortuário”.  The sold out expectations were no lie and there was not that much free space to move, making this [...]

English (versão Portuguesa abaixo) The musical metamorphosis from Braga known as Mão Morta visited Coimbra, City of the Students for a concert presentation of its latest work: “Pelo Meu Relógio São Horas De Matar”.

  In a weekend marked by Burning Light Festival, Lisbon had another important event to offer, once British Vallenfyre came to visit our country for the first time. It was in a surprisingly well filled RCA that we entered by the sounds of Spanish FOSCOR, supporting band for the Iberian dates of the British headliners. [...]

Sunday isn’t anyone’s favorite day to attend a concert, but it’s a disadvantage of tours, you have to be flexible… The first band was DAGOBA, a french groovy band in charge of starting the hostilities. Apparently not very known to the Portuguese audience, a conclusion taken based on both the amount of people and reaction [...]
