I had the chance to see them live and it was heavy! Sofia, the vocalist, gives the band that last amazing spicy ingredients...such as singing and performing.
Enjoy the damned!

The Firstborn - The Noble Search

The Firstborn Myspace

'2005 – After 4 years in the writing, the concept-album “The Unclenching of Fists” is finally recorded. Based on the Tibetan “Book of the Dead”, it represents a dramatic shift in both style and content for the band (ProCon Media 2005). 2008 – Further exploring the Buddhist philosophy as a foundation for both lyrics and sound, the band travels to Foel Studio in Wales to record “The Noble Search”. This album, based on the Buddhist Scriptures, represents further experiments in the direction first explored in 2005’s “The Unclenching of Fists” (Major Label Industries 2008).'

Portugal at his best!
The Noble Search out in November 2008 it's the brand new album from one of the most interesting band from here - Portugal. For me.
When i hear their stuff i think: 'Fuck! This guys can't be Portuguese!'
BUT, they are. Astronomous sound they got in here.
Very good indeed...i truly recommend it for the ones who like progressive, avant-garde sound.
(The Unclenching Of Fists, 2005 album will be posted soon)

Genre: Avant-Garde | Progressive | Black

Riding Pânico - Lady Cobra

Got references? Isis, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Ulver, Pelican, Mogwai, Sigur Rós, Tool...
Lady Cobra, produced by Makoto Yagyu (If Lucy Fell) and mixed by Chris Common (These Arsms Are Snakes/Minus The Bear) got 9 tracks of pure instrumental music.
In my opinion there are no such great bands in here, Portugal, but these one i have to say, they have my respect. I've seen them live.
I never went to a instrumental concert before...i never thought that i would love it. Sincerely, this is amazing!
Portugal at his best.
Absolute must have!
...and i don't say this because i'm Portuguese, this is not advertising, this is good music.
Check it!
