Sepultura al Club Dynamo -1991

Com que no hi han concerts, aquests dies rescataré algunes fotos que vaig fer ja fa molts anys, començem amb una foto significativa, no tan sols per la presència del personatge sinó també per la intensitat que pot transmetre, el lloc era el perfecte per disfrutar dels origens del Thrash metal, la foto la vaig fer mentre disfrutaba d'una banda amb plena efervescència.

La meva recomanació del 2002

Mi recomendación 10

Krux "Krux"

Año de edición 2002

Sello: Mascot records

Estilo: Doom metal

Primer disco del grupo sueco concebido solo como un proyecto de estudio. Krux lo forman 4 personas de 4 grandes bandas (Candlemass, Entombed, Therion y The Project Hate), doom metal puro nacido desde el Underground sueco, es un trabajo de puro goze para todo el que le guste el sonido metálico de los 80 adaptado al siglo XXI, un disco que desde su concepción se ha convertido en un clásico y tan aclamado que incluso se les ha podido ver alguna vez en directo.

Between The Frost

Fotos de Decapante y The Happiness Project en Tortosa 2007

Decapante, realmente impresionantes, dos bajistas y un batería, almenos en directo son brutales.

The Happiness Project, un grupo bastante interesante durante su concierto el pasado 14 de diciembre.

Rose Hill Drive i The Carminers - Sala durango - Meliana 2007

Desde Colorado a Meliana (València), un grup molt jove que amb poc temps ha telonejat a The Who i ha destacat en festivals com Graspop o Azkena. El seu concert llarg i intens, com si fosim als 70.

The Carminers, un grup valencià que practica un sleazy rock molt interessant.

We have invited DAVID TIBET to curate a special long-day-event as part of the 13th annual Roadburn Festival, which will take place Sunday, April 20, 2008, at the 013 Club in Tilburg, The Netherlands. CURRENT 93 will be performing as well as other special guests: David Tibet comments: "I am proud and delighted to confirm that I have been invited by the wonderful Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Holland to curate a special day-long event. Current 93 will be performing, as well as some special guests that I have invited to accompany us. I can confirm that the majestic OM & BABY DEE will be appearing, and that I am presently discussing the appearance of 2 or 3 more of my favourite artists. Roadburn is perhaps the pre-eminent festival of doom, stoner, psychedelacidic and othercoloured metal, and I am very touched and happy to have been invited by Roadburn to bring some of those artists whom I love to a festival whose work I have long admired."The Glasspack will be headlining the 2008 Roadburn Festival Afterburner in the Green Room on Sunday April 20, 2008.

Due the clossed corridors at the 013 venue, both events can be held separately without any distraction to each other.We're also pleased to report that the Roadburn Pre- Heat on Thursday, April 17th, 2008 is shaping up nicely: we're going to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Lee Dorrian's Rise Above Records --it's going to be the first show in a series of anniversary events throughout 2008. On the bill are GRAND MAGUS, CAPRICORNS, TAINT & LITMUS.

Concert de Soziedad Alkoholika i Subterranean Kids a Alcanyís

Subterranean Kids durant el seu concert, un retorn volgut i amb moltes ganes, llàstima que hi ha bastanta gent que desconeix el llegat de la millor banda de Hardcore del nostre país.

S.A., durant el seu concert a Alcanyís, feia uns 15 anys que no els veia i realment encara son una bona banda, el que passa es que ara ja són tots uns profesionals.

El meu preferit de 1971

Mi recomendación 09:

Led Zeppelin "IV"

Año de edición 1971

Sello: Atlantic

Estilo: Hard rock

No fue con su debut, pero si lo lograron con su cuarto disco, la banda dejó claro que su particular estilo tuvo la culminación con este trabajo, el Hard rock ya había nacido en parte gracias a ellos. “IV” es un disco sin ninguna pega, casi todas las canciones incluidas son clásicos del rock, aclamado a nivel masivo no podemos obviar la realidad, algunas bandas lo intentaban en esa época, nadie consiguió lo que Led Zeppelin tenían. Y aunque para esa época fueran tildados de satánicos, nada más lejos de la realidad, ya que Led Zeppelin nos ofrecieron una gran dosis de buena música rock con mucha actitud.

Fotos de High On Fire i Pelican al Becool - Barcelona 2007

High On Fire, absolutament brutals, poc més que dir del trio americà.
Pelican, durant el seu concert instrumental, un grup interessant que després de més d'un hora va resultar una mica pesat.
