Azarok - Origo

"With six tracks and duration of 53 minutes “Origo” combines well Black and Folk.

Even if some passages might seem a little repetitive the way he combines the calm that emanates from traditional instruments with the fury of the electric guitar and growling voice gives the album a sense of epic journey. It’s almost like an analogy for life, with ups and downs while we travel among the living… it could easily be one of those single track album." Read more »

Templários do Rock + SIStema @ Heaven's Club

"...ambas tinham muito bons executantes, de onde destaco os guitarristas de ambas as formações. Como frontman acho que há poucos como o Lourenço; a facilidade com que contagia quem o vê e a entrega e dedicação que emprega no seu projeto musical é digna de registo. Os SIStema, nome a guardar no género Punk Rock. Só mais uma ressalva: quantas bandas podem dizer que tinham pessoal do Rock, Thrash, Black, Punk e Gótico a assistir, todos juntos, às suas atuações? Estas podem….." Read more »

B.A.C.O. Acústico
