Full throttle for Cryfemal!
Just under two years after their last production, Ebola (all instruments/vocals, Altar de Defunción, Muert, Stormvold…) and Guayota (drums, Muert, ex-Death Above) deliver their new EP, Puro carbón, via Immortal Frost Productions.
We get off to a fast start with Atlantico Caos, a hellish composition where vociferations and jerky rhythmics combine in a more or less orderly fashion to exploit more dissonant touches, but the Old School spirit is preserved in the surge that finally reaches Guadana Alzada. The track gives us barely a few seconds’ respite before charging in and carrying us away in its wave of raw fury with a few scathing harmonics, before moving on to La Muerte Masturbada and its equally savage approach that slips in a few sharp leads along the way. You’d think the band would slow down with Sonambulo Profanador, but they don’t, and the long, unholy rhythmic spills out just as violently as before, regularly offering very short pauses before racing off again to Satan Autista, the next composition. The musicians offer us the same patterns as before, in an atmosphere just as heavy as that found on Panteon Mental, with its cries of despair joining the visceral cacophony. Sangre De Deceso immediately follows afterwards, remaining in a realm known for its sheer lack of delicacy, as does Karma Invertido, which comes just afterwards and continues for just over two minutes in violence, before Nobrac Orup brings the album to a close with a few rapid roars.
Although I understand Cryfemal‘s musical positioning, Puro carbón seems a little short, and despite having potential, the band stays on its toes to offer rather similar tracks.
