Another great night of metal in Porto, this time at the well-known HardClub, with a unique atmosphere, which welcomed the return of the Australian band NeObliscaris to our country. Opening the show, we had the Australian trio The Omnific, with their two bass players and a drummer, who warmed up the audience for the big [...]

We visited the Atelier A Fábrica venue, a recently open place in the city of Coimbra, Portugal to check out a stoner night that gathered the bands Stones Of Babylon and Fjords. André Figueiredo, also a member of Mike Vhiles, and Rafael Borges on bass make up the duo known as Fjords. This project came [...]

It is not very common for a Black Metal tour to pass through Leiria. However, at the same time, it is a good sign. It indicates that the decentralization of concerts in Portugal does take place and that Leiria has an excellent venue to host concerts, such as the StereoGun, in the centre of the [...]

Fans in North America witnessed Cannibal Corpse end 2022 with a brutal bang on their most recent 2-month tour. Bringing along Sweden’s Dark Funeral, New York’s Immolation, and New York’s Black Anvil, it was no wonder the trek saw multiple theatre-sized venues at full capacity night after night. There was a palatable swell of excitement [...]

Fora de Rebanho, one of the most active associations in the Portuguese Rock and Metal scene organized Punk Rock & Billy event featuring T. Perry And The Bombers from Porto and Drastiks from Coimbra. Both bands came from pretty close to an hour’s drive. Photos by Pedro Sales, special thanks to Pedro and Fora de [...]

On the 9th of April, Hellraiser in Leipzig hosted a concert with 4 bands who were promoting their latest albums (although they have a little time). Unfortunately, due to the pandemic and with all the venues closed the bands couldn’t do it properly when their works were released. The first band that played was Holy [...]

The Teatro José Lúcio da Silva in Leiria received another great night of metal. After the visit of Gaerea a few months ago, it was now time for Moonspell to visit the peaceful city. Celebrating 30 years of a solid career, full of metamorphosis and success, Moonspell showed why after 3 decades they are still [...]

On a rainy Thursday night, Lisbon hosted a night of pure Thrash Metal with bands that rocked the audience from start to finish. To celebrate 40 years of career, the band Artillery presented in Lisbon, at RCA Club, the ‘Turn Up The Race Iberian Tour 2022’. As openers, Portuguese bands Alpha Warhead and ThrashWall warmed [...]

Not even the cold of the mountains that is felt in Covilhã (Portugal) stopped the metalheads from getting together at Neverlate for another concert. After almost two years without playing, on the 20th of November, the Portuguese bands Sollust and Congruity got together to bring another night of heavy metal to town. The evening began [...]

The pandemic has taken a toll on us all. The cultural sector has seen countless shows and other activities getting canceled. Hopefully, the overall scenario seems to be taking a turn for the better. So it was an enormous delight to finally witness a concert again after such a long hiatus. Portuguese enigmatic black metal [...]

The Norwegians Leprous have been a growing phenomenon for many years, sustained by their excellent music, electrifying concerts and a friendly attitude. They have also long been considered one of the most important flag-bearers of the progressive aspect of metal in fusion with rock. Extremely productive since the release of their debut album “Tall Poppy [...]

The day after Napalm Death played in Leipzig and the same day that Lindemann (with Peter Tägtgren and Till Lindemann) were also playing in town, the Thrash Alliance 2020 took place in Felsenkeller. The metal community was divided but those who were in the venue were the true enthusiasts of good old thrash metal. The [...]

The Japanese quintet returns to Europe less than two years after their previous tour for a series of hard-hitting shows very much focused on the present. Even though Dir En Grey promised to come back after their late 2018 tour, few would expect to see them in Europe again so soon. To be fair, their [...]
