Tormentor
2026-08-30 20:00 UTC
Hailing from the Hungarian city of Budapest, Tormentor are widely regarded as true pioneers of classic black metal and one of the most respected bands in the genre. Founded in 1985, they quickly gained recognition with the demos The Seventh Day of Doom (1987) and Anno Domini (1989), works that became landmarks of European black metal. In 2000, they released the album Recipe Ferrum!, maintaining the dark and intense essence that has always defined their sound. At the core of the band is vocalist and founding member Attila Csihar, an iconic figure known for his unique voice and magnetic stage presence. Also recognized as the voice of the Norwegian band Mayhem, Csihar brings to Tormentor a powerful vocal style, blending piercing high tones and harsh raspiness with a theatrical and shadowy aesthetic that makes each performance a memorable experience. This exclusive concert in Portugal offers fans a rare opportunity to witness a performance rich in history, intense riffs, and dense atmospheres that have shaped generations of black metal followers.
Opening the night will be Filii Nigrantium Infernalium, active since the early 1990s, delivering a distinctive blend of black and thrash metal. Exploring dark and introspective themes, the band embraces a raw and visceral aesthetic. Led by Belathauzer, vocalist and guitarist and the creative force behind the group since its formation in 1992, Filii Nigrantium Infernalium have built a solid and diverse discography, with albums such as Fellatrix Discordia Pantokrator (2005), Pornokrates: Deo Gratias (2013), Hostia (2018), and the most recent Pérfida Contracção do Aço (2024). Each release reinforces the band’s unique musical identity, establishing them as a key reference within the Portuguese underground metal scene. Known for their fierce intensity on stage, Filii Nigrantium Infernalium promise a powerful opening set, delivering a brutal and unforgettable experience for the audience.

Experience the Timeless Tradition of Sufi Qawwali – Live in Concert.
Now in their 26th year of international touring, Fanna-Fi-Allah remains one of the foremost traditional Qawwali ensembles in the world today. With thousands of performances across 50+ countries, they carry the living spirit of Sufi shrine music to global audiences, oﬀering a rare and powerful immersion into this devotional art form. Led by Tahir Qawwal and supported by a masterful ensemble of tabla, harmonium, and choral vocals, the group stays rooted in the classical Qawwali tradition—without fusion, electronics, or pop crossover.
Each performance is a vibrant expression of spiritual passion, featuring the poetry of Sufi saints such as Amir Khusrau and Baba Farid, delivered through the powerful rhythms of clapping, soaring chorus lines, and deep, trance-inducing cycles. The atmosphere includes whirling Sufi dancing and a communal, ecstatic energy that transcends language or belief. Though born in the Sufi Islamic tradition, this music invites all people—regardless of background—into a shared space of unity and divine love.
For those new to Qawwali, this is a beautiful opportunity to witness the tradition as it has been carried for centuries. And for longtime listeners, it’s a continuation of Fanna-Fi-Allah’s dedication to preserving and sharing this sacred music with reverence and vigor.
