Lacuna Coil – Nosturi – Helsinki

If you have any doubt about this saying, Lacuna Coil is a great example to prove I´m not wrong. Take the band, put them on stage and remove Cristina Scabbia. What have you got? A very good metal band, yes, but that´s all, nothing special.

Now, put Cristina on stage and let them be: it´s fantastic!I don´t want to reduce the value of the other musicians, no way! The entire band is very good but it´s a fact that Cristina on stage, together with Andrea, is something else, there is a plus in this addition.

We can´t say Lacuna Coil is a band of virtuous musicians, and I believe this has never been their intention when starting the project, but there is no doubt that each one of them deserve all respect. They are very efficient and, as a group, a line-up change would really mess the plus I see on them: perfect interaction.

Iced Earth

 

Impossible to write something about Iced Earth and not notice and get SHOCKED with their vocalist’s tone and range. Not even a tenor he is, and I guess he has not been warned about it, as matter of fact, he’s caring a little or nothing for this because he can actually do WHATEVER HE WANTS with his voice

  Stratovarius

The concert started at about 10 pm. after two local warm up bands: Tracedawn which I unfortunately missed, and Dream Evil, excellent power/heavy metal band that made my night worth  even before Stratovarius started playing.

  Alec Mendonça  
 

N.O.W.  - AOR – Brasil
N.O.W. shows a high quality AOR influenced by FOREIGNER, TOTO, SURVIVOR , JOURNEY, and comes with a super lineup formed by  Alec, on bass and vocals, very well sung and shared with nothing more and nothing less than Philip Bardowell

 
  Metallica  
 

Metallica
Brazilian Magnetic Tour
Metallica, with their most recent album,“Death Magnetic”, came by to Brazilian lands to receive their fans’ forgiveness, I shall say: they´ve been begging for that on their knees, and we, the people, civilized, go for it.

 
  Danger Danger  
 

Danger Danger – Revolve
Danger Danger was formed in 1987 and the band is still there, strong and firm. There were  upside downs, of course, they had to deal with the loss of popularity in the 90´s , some important members to the band´s history quit, such as vocalist Ted Poley
