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 [...]

What do Black Metal, Lisbon and Saturday night have in common? Not much you might think. But things changed, at least last weekend, with INQUISITION’s return to the Portuguese capital. Notre Damme Productions achieved almost 200 persons at RCA, in this venue’s first black metal gig ever. We believe that everybody involved had a positive [...]

“Pas pleine, mais surtout pas vide”, República da Música hosted Goodlife HQ’s most daring event: CELESTE headlining tour. The sound was pretty accurate during the whole night where it became clear since very soon that almost everyone was there with one main purpose: to be washed away by the French chaotic anthems. But before that, [...]

Still in a cold April night, Side B hosted an honest black metal event, which finished the sequence of three black metal nights (with Morte Incandescente and Corpus Christii playing before) in the Lisbon area.

What about une matinee noir au centre ville? Well, we sure know that dark events such as Monarch’s appearance in Lisbon should deserve a more latter schedule. But, let’s be honest, everything went fine at RCA Club, Saturday, the 22th February. The first live ever appearance of ONIROMANT marked the birth of another interesting national [...]

The band delivered their melodic Death/Heavy metal to the few people in the [...]
