Just over sixteen minutes was enough for Andalusian musicians to smash up everything from the earth again! The world almost began to rebuild after their attack in 2016 when they released the full album “Viral Supremacy”. Back then, they needed over 26 minutes. However, this time the more experience did its job! This year their twentieth anniversary…

The current EP contains only four songs, but how powerful, how crushing and how devastating! Very low-tuned, djent guitars create extremely-heavy themes, full of technical twists, surprising changes of pace and unexpected ultra-predatory motifs, enriched with terrifying and ominous melodies.

Of course, the rhythm of section is very important here. It is full of fast tempos and blasts interspersed with short slowdowns, murderous accents or complicated rhythms. And the licks of the bass guitar, apart from strong sounds, can be quite melodic, and even sometimes like progressive-jazz.

The vocalism is also very developed. Various grwolings, squawks, screams, pigsqueals and their polyphonic combinations create a truly predatory, animal, and even monstrous or demonic mood, at times giving the impression of vocal dialogues.

As a rule, the arrangements are brutal, often with a large dose of cacophony or dissonance. However, there are also short melodies and atmospheric moments. Although this melody and atmosphere are almost always very appalling.
