REVIEW: Junta - Junta Self-financed, 2003
7.5/10
Junta - Junta - cover art I'm listening to some eerie sounds that seem to be getting louder and bigger and multiplying, then quite unexpected I'm sucked into a metal song which changes all the time... This is technical metal but not in the vein of Dillinger Escape Plan and such, it's more melodic and has a lot more structure in it. The vocalist has an interesting capability to scream words that can't be noticed even if you're reading them from the lyric sheet at the same time. Junta manage to sound themselves through the record, from time to time they sound very similar to something but before I can get it to my head it changes again, and again. There's some resemblance to Thought Industry but it's minimal. Junta play fast, aggressive, technical yet melodic metal but are nowhere near of power metal. Their biggest bonus is not fitting in any genre at all, they just float on their own. There could be some point of making a little more straighter songs 'cos in this form it gets irritating at some point. Interesting case however and there's nothing quite negative I could say about this.
