Persson has had a busy year, releasing The Long Road North with Cult of Luna and Final Light's self-titled debut while working on a film. I caught Cult of Luna's Johannes Persson between his artist talk and a radio interview. "People are warm," says Tenue guitarist and vocalist Miguel. Tenue's DIY approach stems from their roots in occupied houses and the Galician anarchist scene. Galician screamo band Tenue's live performance of Territorios fomented the fest's rowdiest mosh pit. Vile Creature wasn't the only band leaving it all on the stage. Guitarist and co-vocalist KW says, "we miss Laura so fucking much." The band invited Wiebe's partner to join them in Porto, and KW says "that was the fuel for the whole set for me." Laura Wiebe, whom the band says was among their earliest boosters and who passed away suddenly this year after a cancer diagnosis.

The Hamilton, Ontario-based doomers recently added drummer Adam, giving vocalist and erstwhile drummer Vic the chance to augment the band's fury with synthesizers and samples. Vile Creature made a point of asking everyone if they felt safe and comfortable in between unleashing ferocious songs off of their recent records. Part of Amplifest's community vibe came from its inclusivity. In addition to experimentalists like British cellist Jo Quail, talks with artists and film screenings, the central corridor at Hard Club hosted artisans including Credo Quia Absurdum, Dead Flag Studios and Sovina brewery. Pallbearer's Arkansas doom and Amenra's heavy acoustic set were just two highlights of the festival. While Amenra reached new heights with De Doorn and van Eeckhout used COVID to explore acoustic and industrial sounds, other bands were forced to put projects on hold. He's apologetic about the lack of heaviness but hopeful that festivalgoers still got something from the set. We put in the van Zandt songs because that was kind of our COVID project," van Eeckhout explains. "We wanted to play a different acoustic show than we normally do. In some cases, this meant last-minute changes, including Amenra's decision to play an acoustic set after bassist Tim de Gieter was sidelined by surgery. From a hypnotizing Amenra acoustic set to Cult of Luna's triumphant presentation of much of The Long Road North, weekend one felt like a normal, pre-COVID concert.įor many of the bands, this was a return to the normal trappings of touring, both good and bad. Mendes is at the center of a festival that turns an iron market building at the center of Porto into a village of metaheads, hardcore kids and artisans for two weekends.
