REVIEW: Liber Spirituum - ...Frugativi Et Appellativi Self-financed, 1999
6/10
Liber Spirituum - ...Frugativi Et Appellativi - cover art Liber Spirituum is a band from Quito, the capital of Ecuador, playing a weird mix of black metal and doom metal with both painfully slow passages as well as faster ones. Of course there are the traditional screechy black metal vocals here and there but most of the vocals are among the darkest growling ones I have ever heard, close to the Evoken sound. Melody plays an important role in their music and they seem to be skilled musicians, handling their instruments well and deserves to be noticed by a label. Except for Brazilian bands this is the first band I´ve ever heard from South America and it is nice to see that even in Ecuador there are people ready to fight the authority of the Catholic Church. It is a pity that the production is rather poor (but extremely good for being self-produced in Ecuador!) since this is a band with a promising amount of talent and with the backing of a label I think they could do really well. Lyrically the band is very much inspired by Anton Szandor La Vey and his Satanic verses. Finally I want to say that the intro is a very beautiful one. The album was recorded in 40 hours at Pentagrama Studios at Summer Solstice 1999, produced by the band, engineered by Mono and Guillo, mastered at DDM Studios, New Jersey, USA. As I´ve already said this band deserves a better production, period. Go check out http://www.bloodsoaked.net/ for more info on the band and to purchase their album.
