OUTSHINE
Outshine is a Swedish dark rock band from Gothenburg, known for
their
melancholic fusion of gothic rock and metal. Founded in 1995 by
guitarist and vocalist Jimmy Boman, the band began as a studio
project
and evolved into a full-fledged act by 2002. Their debut EP,
_Memories_ (2005), garnered significant attention, leading to their
first full-length album, _Bad Things Always End Bad_ (2007).
Subsequent albums include _Until We Are Dead_ (2009), _Prelude to
Descent_ (2013) and _The Awakening _(2022), their fourth studio
album,
which delves into themes of societal unrest and personal awakening.
Their latest release _Sweet Dreams _(2025) was released on May 19th
2025. "_Outshine unleashed their brooding, heavy take on "Sweet
Dreams", transforming the iconic Eurythmics hit into a powerful,
slow-burning anthem soaked in darkness, atmosphere, and raw emotion.
With crushing guitars, cinematic textures, and a voice that drips
with
intensity, this cover drags the '80s classic into the shadows —
and makes it feel more relevant than ever._
_This isn't nostalgia. This is rebirth. Dark. Gritty. Addictive."_
Outshine's music is characterized by its dark, atmospheric sound,
drawing influences from bands like Type O Negative, Paradise Lost,
and
The Sisters of Mercy. They have toured extensively, including
multiple
U.S. tours and European dates with Paradise Lost. Despite facing
challenges such as lineup changes, legal battles, and personal
hardships, Outshine has remained resilient, continuing to produce
music that resonates with fans of gothic and melancholic rock.
On September 6, 2025, Outshine is scheduled to perform in Lisbon,
Portugal, bringing their signature dark rock sound to new audiences.
MALIGNEA (Portugal)
Malignea: A New Era in Portuguese Metal
Emerging in 2022 from the ashes of the acclaimed Dogma, Malignea
marks
a new phase for its experienced members in the Portuguese metal
scene.
The band delivers a dense and melodic sound that blends elements of
symphonic, doom, and gothic metal.
Composed of former Dogma members, the band sought new creative
freedom
and a more fluid approach to songwriting. The lineup includes Miguel
Sampaio (bass), Luís Abreu (drums), João Pedro Ribeiro and Luís
Possante (guitars), and vocalist Isabel Cristina, whose Portuguese
vocals have become one of their distinctive hallmarks.
After their live debut in May 2022, Malignea released the single
"Morte Vermelha" (Red Death). In February 2023, their self-titled
debut album, "Malignea," was launched by Ethereal Sound Works,
featuring seven tracks that showcase the band's mastery in creating
emotional atmospheres with symphonic arrangements and Isabel
Cristina's powerful voice.
Since then, Malignea has solidified its position in the national
underground scene, sharing stages with bands like Imperial Age and
Gwydion. Their music, which draws comparisons to early gothic doom
metal but with a heavier edge, has received praise from both
audiences
and critics, proving to be a valuable and promising addition to
contemporary Portuguese metal.
