Pieni’s highlights of 2019
2019 was a bumpy ride and despite attending fewer shows and writing less for Valkyrian Music, this past year still had plenty of memorable moments. Here’s my favorite live ones:
- Samael at Laurus Nobilis Music Famalicão (Louro)
- Infraktor at Vagos Metal Fest (Vagos)
- Equaleft at Hard Club (Porto)
- D.A.D. at Hard Club (Porto)
- Overkill at Hard Club (Porto)
Records:
- “Rust” by CrashDïet
- “We Defy” by Equaleft
- “Verkligheten” by Soilwork
- “West End” by The 69 Eyes
- “I, The Mask” by In Flames
Thank you Ozzy for filming the kind of music video I like the most – with an actual story to it. In the absence of that, something amusing and/or featuring visual impact will do:
- “Under The Graveyard” by Ozzy Osbourne
- “Idiots” by CrashDïet
- “Deutschland” by Rammstein
- “Trve As Fvck” by Hills Have Eyes
- “Already Dead” by Hollywood Undead
I have a handful of expectations for 2020 but, at the moment, I believe these are the ones I’m most eager about:
- The Hills Have Eyes new album and its release show (no date announced yet but hopefully it won’t be postponed much longer).
- The Hollywood Undead new album, “New Empire, Vol. 1”, and their gig in Madrid which I’ll be attending in a couple of months.
- W.A.S.P. will embark on a tour where they’ll only play songs out of their first four albums. Already got my ticket for the Barcelona show.
- Sister posted something on their Facebook page which included a #newalbum, so I’m looking forward to that as well.
- Seems like Kiss are saying goodbye to the stages. Whether this is indeed their last tour or not, I won’t miss it.
Happy New Year!
