Right away when you listen to this, you'll notice that the boys from Spain are trying to achieve something different here from their more guttural bands. The influences are so much more vast, you have the expected elements: Death Metal, Mathcore, a bit of Slam, as well as some unexpected Avant-Jazz (saxophone included). The overall sound is also much cleaner, you can actually hear each diminished chord and atonal note, instead of it just degrading into indecipherable rumbling. Despite the instrument clariy, there's still a live, garage-y kind of ambience that's a nice break from the slick, plastic sounding Deathcore bands that are so popular these days. Also different from popular Deathcore bands, these guys can actually play! They're not just using Beat Detective for their shitty time and a chain of efffects for their shitty tone. This is a well executed vision for a genre-salad type project, giving all the individual influences respect, instead of just watering them down into a more homogenous commercial package.
If you're at all a fan of the more dissonant Metalcore like Converge and early Dillinger Escape Plan, or "skronky" Deathgrind like Cephalic Carnage, hit the play button.
