THE GATES OF METAL AWARDS OF 2009

I am always with my eyes and ears open to what happened in the Metal world especial at my country (Portugal). Because of that I put some new categories...I decided to include: Metal photographers, designers, radios and of course webzines.

Dark Veneris, have their first work called: "My Inner Damnation".
I discovery in this CD a amazing melody's accompanied with great riffs and 2 voices.
One by Monica and other by Filippo. I think this band have a fantastic future but I only have one little advice for Monica, because she really have good voice but in some parts she can't hold her voice so well, when she put her voice in limit. So, my advice for her is to take some singing lessons because is a shame if she don't learn more to use her voice.
I hope to listen more about Dark Veneris...
If you are big fan of Gothic Metal, check out this band and BUY THEIR CD!!!

SIMBIOSE and Alien Squad concert - New/Review

Hello readers!
Today I am going to talk about Simbiose and Alien Squad.
In past Friday (9-10-09), I saw this bands in live concert at Bar Alfa in Leiria. It was a excellent concert and I have to tell you that is one of the best concerts that I saw in Leiria!!!! They put a lot of energy on stage, is really incredible! I take a change before this concert begging to talk with Simbiose band and they are really nice people and always very nice to the people who go to talk with them, then I saw Alien Squad doing the same thing and always very nice too. For me it was very important to see the bands that are so close to the public before and after the performance and so kind to those who go to talk to them and don't come with that strange attitude that some of you guys know that some bands "hide" and go to the backstage before and after the shows...this bands is not that "type"! They (Simbiose and Alien Squad) put a fantastic show, where you see people have a lot of fun and making a crazy mosh too (laughs)!
It was a great night, so if you want to repeat this night or you have curiosity to see Simbiose in live show go at their MySpace and see the dates and places. For future informations about Alien Squad make the same thing :).

Also, they have new merch out now!!! So, buy this fantastic new album and some cool T-shirt :)
I already have mine ;)

Note: I would like to wish to the both bands all the best luck/success and send my thanks to Hugo (from Simbiose) for taken some cool pics with my camera!
A BIG THANK FOR THE FANTASTIC/BRUTAL CONCERT!!!

André Reis: lead Guitar
Pedro Bandeira: Drums
Sara Henriques: Clean Vocals
Paulo Roque: Bass
João Arcanjo: Guitar

TRACK - LIST:



















Darkside of innocence is a young band, but do not be fooled by their age.
This album shows a more mature band and we got the idea that they know what they want.
As their listener for a few years now, I was pleasantly surprised with D.O.I capabilities in "Infernum Liberus EST" and I find a much more worked voice, cool riffs and a great voice by Sara! For me, she puts a great feeling on these songs.
I am very interested to hear more of this evolution.
So, let's see what they will do in their next album...
Score: 9/10

NOTE: This album is available for free download!! So, you don't have any excuse for not listening :)

Darkside of Innocence - New * Infernum Liberus EST Free Download *

Hello Readers! :)
I have a new about Darkside Of Innocence:
They have the entire album for FREE DOWNLOAD!!!
Yes is true...
This is Pedro Statment and you will udnerstand why:

"Dear followers; It's such a pity to inform you that we will no longer release "Infernum Liberus EST". Unfortunately we chose not to edit "Infernum Liberus EST" (at least for now) on a CD format due to the time we took to have this album done.
We thought and decided that "Infernum Liberus EST" is now part of a distant past and that we won't waste much more time promoting it since that's practically. the only thing we've done these last 2 years.
To be precisely and to tell you more about this decision; we've lost a lot of time working on "Infernum Liberus EST", really hard as you know but in the end we realised that we really need to move on since we're now working on a new Album (can't talk much of it right now but I'll soon come with news)!
However and despite of having "Infernum Liberus EST" release cancelled, we will upload the entire "Infernum Liberus EST" album so then, all of you who interest in Darkside of Innocence is important, can download and enjoy the whole album for free.
I would really like to thank all of you, who were going to buy the album but unfortunately that was the best thing to do..."
