Francisco J. Dias

Portuguese Metal/Hard Rock/Hardcore/Punk Rock singer since 1991. Francisco J. Dias started as an Hard Rock/Heavy Metal fan in the mid 80s. In the late 80s he was deeply into Speed/Thrash/Crossover. In the early 90s he was influenced heavily by the Hardcore-Punk scene of the UK and also by the U.S. early Hardcore scene and formed his first band Subcaos in April 1991. After 1997 Subcaos were over (at least in the old century), he pursued other musical territories (Garage Rock/Psychedelia, 70s Hard Rock and the emerging Stoner Rock scene). He was in a few bands around these genres (like The No-Counts D.O.M. formed in 2000) and eventually back to Metal in the wake of the new millennium, later forming Dawnrider in 2004. He ran Blood and Iron Records since 2005 up to its demise in 2017 and formed Progaor and Dyamondroxx.
