About Me
Well I think due to my zoodiac sign (pisces) I have two clear distinct personalities (at least Happy ) and I have interest in many distinct and unrelated areas: occult, mythology, music, literature, independent movies, history and archeology...
About the occult I like to read a lot about ancient myths, astrology and viking runes. I actually made a few astrology charts for some friends... But Viking runes are more personal...
About music I was a DJ a couple of years ago in Porto in some underground clubs, playing essencially metal, industrial and some neo-folk.
Check some playlists here:

(these are the oldest, the more recent were in a site host that no longer exists...dam!)
Also a few years ago I used to play keybords in a doom/death band near Porto called The Godiva...
You can get a taste on how they sound like here:

I had a metal CD/DVD online shop as a hobby a couple of years ago. Check it here:
http://powerchord.no.sapo.pt/
Quite a nice price, right?
About literature I like everything related with Celtic or Viking culture and fantasy literature...
About independent movies my hometown host very year an independent movie festival called FantasPorto, and it some years I was not only a regular attendant but also I was part of the staff...
About archeology and history I like to visit ancient sites like the ones that can be found in Northern Portugal and NW spanish province of Galicia... Mainly sites that have 3000 years old back from the time of the Celts and romans... Yep..The Celts were there...

Hiya... actually I'm tired (just get from work)...lol... SO you're from Kilkenny hey? That was the 1st irish beer that I ever tried (I was still back in Portugal at the time)... I'm one of the chosen few (can you see the arrogance?) that was introduced to irish beers by Kilkenny not Guiness... Changing the subject, if you wanna laugh big time check the videos i have on my profile from a band called Massacration... They are brazilian and got famous thanks to mtv... All they do is mocking at the 80's heavy metal bands... It's like monty python on metal....Can't miss that!!!!!

They sound like machine head, fear factory and pantera.... you must check songs like: Black Tie, All Men Taste Hell, Hallelluyah....

Alone I think is from their previous to last album which really sucks...
They have a very good ballad in their first mini album by the way: "the last child"...

Don't get me wrong, they are stil very powerful live....
Yep, I know what you mean...Usually I like the bands first albums.... That's when they have to put some effort to it to become famous... Once they become famous and have lots of fans, any crap they record will sell....

Hi, the Moonspell video is very nice and evocative. It seems that Ramp had a lot of energy and could do a great show in the past. Is the song "Alone" one of their new, "commercial" stuff? It sounds like any other power-ballad song that bands write just to make money. It´s a shame when great bands give up creating original songs with nerve and energy. Or just can´t produce any more original ideas. It happens too often that great bands peak and after that all the albums sound just the same. 






I haven´t seen the movie "Queen of the Dammed", but it looks like the Moonspell video contains scenes from it. Actually, the ony vampie film I have seen are Dracula (the one with Gary Oldman) and Nosferatu. But the last one is a classic...

Maybe any crap record will sell, but I´m not buying it. Some of the bands that I like the most, are making shit albums now, or at best they sound all the same. Like, I have a lot of respect for what Kiss did in the 70ies, but they should have split up when they ran out of original ideas instead of  keep going just for the money. Making great shows is one thing, but bands should be into it for the music.

Have you ever heard about the terrorist movement in Spain called ETA?
They want the bask country to be independent...
Every now and then a few bombs go off.....
Also Catalunya (which Capital is Barcelona) wants to be independent as well...
In fact Portugal now is independent thanks to them...but that's a long story....
Also in Galicia there is a growing movement calling for independence as well....
Spain is like this... the wealthiest regions are tired of being drained by the imperialist Madrid...




 



Yes, I am danish and I live in Copenhagen, as my profile says. But I signed up on this page because it´s for metalheads . And I don´t trust Fasebook and Myspace because of something that happened about two years ago when some person stole my identity to create a false profile. 


I knew about the bombings, since that´s what the newpapers tell about when it takes place. the situation in Spain sounds complicated. Much of the details about why groups like ETA is oprerating is mostly ignored by the media here. It´s like, if you want to know what happens in conflicts around the world, you would have to go find information on your own. The media here tend to focus a lot more in internal issues in Denmark, which is not so strange since people want to know what goes on in their own country. I think that´s allright, but one must also seek abroad...


By the way, does Portugal have a good scene for metalbands?

Yes, the Vikings were the 1st europeans that got into America, not Columbus... There are proofs that they got there in the XII century... History is badly written.... Like a few years ago in the coast of Australia it was found an egypcian boat that dates back from the times of the pharaos... As someone once said: History is re-written by the winners... (on wars)....




Yep, that picture is my favourite Celtic ruin close to my home town in Porto (Portugal)...
Yes! Even there, there are Celtic remains and it is even more visible the Celtic influence on the NW of Spain in a province called Galicia (which is kinda similar to Gaelic)




In Portugal you only found those in the North of the country and we also have bagpipes and some ancient settlers wear a kilt as well (long time ago before the wind and before the snow Smile )
In the south they have muslym heritage and we hate their guts.....
May be in some future we can separate from those moorish guys and join our brothers in Galicia
(I think it is just a matter of time until Spain spilts up)



Yes, "History is written by those who hung heros.." (quote "Braveheart!) And historicans will continue to argue over important historic events. But it must be very difficult to separate facts from myths to find out how things really happened.


I didn´t know that situation was so tense in Spain... The media in Denmark only tells when terrible things happen, and we´re usually not told much about the details. But when some celebrity comes along, they go crazy. (Recently it was Oprah and president Obama). I don´t have anything aganist these people, but it takes away focus from other things that are more important.
