To describe perfectly the music of this Spanish band is difficult. The first things that came to my mind while listening to the album were ideas of Opeth composing songs to young Venom who would playing them tight, and some vibes I get from listening to Borknagar. And never have I heard a band before that makes me think of Finland’s Elenium. As if a black metal band wanted to sound everything else but not black metal. The result is an epic album of experimental music switching from thrash to black and death metal. Hell, even some stoner and death ‘n’ roll is waiting for the listener in the end.
The album begins with an intro which is followed by one of the catchiest tracks of the album, “Chimera”. After that you’re on a journey that will last through the album. Truly a journey, as the closing track is musically far away from the first track, yet clearly a song performed by the same band. All tracks are equally good and dynamic enough to make you feel like having another spin.
Sound wise the production could be slightly better, but doesn’t really bother after a couple of minutes. Especially when you start hearing where most of the effort has been put to, apart from playing itself; the album is full of small hooks that pop up when you least expect it. Also, extra points for having interesting song titles like “Did I Say Why I Hate You?” and “Sunday Morning, the 13th”.
