About Me

Music is my life. Everything I have came from music. My wife, my friends, my job. Everything.
Speaking of my job, I'm a freelance music journalist and photographer, and I'm part of the writing staff for several international magazines such as Terrorizer , Rock-A-Rolla or Explicitly Intense, as well as the foremost Portuguese metal mag, Loud! . I am also very proud to have been a part of the sadly defunct Unrestrained! and Underworld.
Since I have decided that sleep is mostly a secondary priority, I also maintain a music blog, called too.many.records. It's turned into an erratically updated list-based thing, but it's still geeky and I still get to talk about records all the time. So take a peek.
Writing and photography of all latest underground events and releases are available at all times upon request, so don't hesitate to drop me a line if you need any article of photo about any gig, band, press release or anything vaguely music-related. If you're a band or a record label, please email me at [email protected] and I'll let you know where you can send stuff for me to review.
