Ascendor - Drive My Demons Away

Harrow - Fallow Fields

"Mais do que um álbum conceptual, este trabalho reúne variados estilos e elementos bem equilibrados, capazes de fazer as delícias dos amantes da música, seja ela qual for; é também um registo que, apesar de curto, apresenta corpo e essência que dá a sensação de ser muito maior. Este é daqueles trabalhos que recomendo a todos." "More than a conceptual album, this work gathers different styles and elements well balanced, capable of delighting music lovers, whichever the genre; it is also a record that, despite short, presents body and essence that gives the sensation of being bigger that it is. This is one of those works I trully recommend." Read more »

Whispering Woods - Perditus et Dea

"Esta acaba por ser daquelas bandas que não inventa; pega num estilo, molda-o à sua personalidade enquanto colectivo, acrescenta algumas nuances que acabam por ser significativas e depois é só deixar as notas fluírem. É sem dúvida de escuta obrigatória para fãs de, entre outras, Haggard, Darkwell ou Coronatus." "This turns out to be one of those bands that keeps it simple; picks a style, shifts it to their personality as a band, adds some nuances that turn out to be significant and then just let the notes flow.

To Pica debut solo

"If there is a Portuguese musician in /Rock/Metal scene that doesn’t need introductions it’s surely Tó Pica: apart from being a guitar teacher, composer and producer he’s also guitarist in R.A.M.P., Anti-Clockwise, Secret Lie and founder of Sacred Sin. In his 23 years of musical career there was only one thing missing… self-name album. Well here it is “Is This The Best You Can Do?”, released last 30th September via Premiere Records." Read more »

Aramaic presents new drummer

"In January 2015, Fadi Shami of the Doom Death Metal band ARAMAIC from the UAE, contacted Tempest and conceptualized the bands vision, He thought their music would cast him to express himself freely behind a drum kit, no restrictions, no titles, this was a project that he would definitely want to be involved with; it all made sense, as they were looking for a drummer to fill the ranks. Their path on this journey will be of Epic proportions. " Read more »

Laurus Nobilis Music Fest - Day 2

"Time now for a trip into the past to listen to a man that many consider a legend in Psychedelic Rock, Jim Morrison. From the clothes to the moves and with a timbre that resembled the original, we just needed to close our eyes to believe we were back to 1969 at that mythical concert in Madison Square Garden. Great show that left the audience hooked; first highlight of the night, the song “Roadhouse Blues” with guest appearance from Daniel Peters playing harmonica; second highlight, a “thank you” (obrigado) in Portuguese followed by “Break On Through (To The Other SIde)”."

Tales For The Unspoken - CO2

"Com uma inegável excelente produção e masterização, este registo de 10 faixas que soam por curtíssimos 40 minutos, com um thrash / groove metal com relevos tribais na sua sonoridade, apresenta-se limpo, bem arquitetado em termos de alinhamento e com o levantar do véu do poderio energético que estes rapazes de Coimbra sabem tão bem imprimir nas suas atuações ao vivo." Read more »

Triple Thrash Attack

"Finally the band of the night, M.O.R.G.. Being around for nearly 11 years and only now releasing their debut makes us wonder why. The world of music industry is a very tough business but seeing bands like this one not giving up and releasing such an album gives us a feeling of a job well done. “Classical” Heavy Thrash but with a freshness in the sound, well played and with a very good stage presence is more than enough to describe what they’ve done. The audience was thrilling and enjoying every piece of it. Needless to say they’ve played the entire album." Read more »

Web - Everything Ends

"Even if it’s not a conceptual album, if we look to the track list we can see an idea of a circle; that with the subject of the lyrics made me think of a constants rebirth: we are born, build ourselves accordingly to what surrounds us, make choices and live by them, over and over again. Also because of that i don’t see any fillers here, all the tracks are arranged in a symbiotic way, with the tunes well chosen for the lyrics and the speed constantly drifting, like we." Read more »

In.Verno - The Reasonable Choice of Insanity

"With a discography based upon a demo (“In Darkness Again...” - 2005), two compilations (“Gallaecian Metal Compilation” - 2007 and “All for none, none for all: A Tribute to Peter Steele” - 2010) and a debut album (“Realscapes” - 2009), this new work appears with a more direct and precise musical orientation. Having as main purpose the creation of a project that could combine different genders such as Gothic, Metal, Folk, Progressive, etc., the fact is that in this sophomore album the melody is not so wide-ranging yet at the same time innovative. Putting aside the Folk/Doom tunes present in the debut and following a more Gothic approach, this new work focused on a conceptual base and from that on the melodies were created." Read more »

Moonspell - Extinct

"With a long career of more than 20 years in activity and with a discography within the same figures they could easily sit back and release one more album… but no. Instead, the band evolved (or in this case, got extinct) and emerged with a fresh retro sound. Confused? Good, that means I’ve got your attention." Read more »

Projekt Nöir - Ský

"The four tracks were written with swiftness; eager was he to create sonorities that could take the listener to dark realms and forsaken landscapes. That urge when misguided sometimes leads to less quality in the final result but this proves otherwise." Read more »

Interviewing David Ravendale from Beautality

"It's not something I can control. At any given moment I may be dreaming and a full song will enter my dreams, as one did a few nights ago or I'll just start humming a melody that has somehow entered my head. I sit down with my phone or a pen and paper and 20 minutes later I have a song to take to the studio to play through. Changes can happen at that point, which is welcomed; anything that improves the song. I have deeply powerful instincts and know what will work always." Read more »

Will The Thrill - Sorry To Disappoint Ya

"They could easily pick one style and follow that road but no, along the thirteen tracks we can listen to Southern Rock, Blues, Rock, Glam, Punk and even the ballad is present. By choosing this path they have created their own identity; they could simply made a “collage” from other bands, as an alternative the band deliver old tunes with a sense of freshness in it by mixing it with a more energy, newer heavy sound. The songs vary from the catchy ones to more elaborate, killer riffs and blasting drums and a voice that is melodically strong, not diverging too much from the classics." Read more »
