Emigrantes (Immigrants)- Experiências de vida no Universo Metálico Português by Dico


I was very honoured to be included in this book and also to speak at one of the several book release parties. This is Dico’s 3rd book on the subject of metal in Portugal. This book is quite interesting and examines the experiences of foreign musicians living in Portugal (like myself, Jeff “mantas” Dunn of Venom Inc, , and Marsten Bailey (Music producer), and Veronica Setterhall (V-Kaos, Mother of the Hydra). 

He also interviews a number of Portuguese musicians who live or have lived abroad and asks about their experiences living abroad compared to living in Portugal. These include King Demogorgon, Mike Gaspar (Moonspell), Aires Pereira (Moonspell), Rodrigo Leal (Hot Stuff), Sérgio Crestana (Moonspell), João Alexandre (Iberia), and many more.

There are 15 interviews in the section called Guitarras de cartão (Card Guitars, is the literal translation but it must mean something else in Portuguese as not all the people in this section are guitar players.


Rumo a um paraiso à beira-mar (Towards a paradise by the Sea) is the 2nd chapter when most of the foreigners are included.  I wish I could read Portuguese better as this looks to be a very interesting book. At this time there is no plan for an English edition.

The cost for the book is: 18,50 € (inside Portugal), 24,50 € (European Union / community Europe) and / and 29,50 € for the rest of the world / rest of the Word. Postage included / Email orders to:  emigmetal@gmail.com
