2025 Independent (Digital)

This is competently played brutal death metal from Chile with a heavy emphasis on groove. There’s nothing here I can’t stand, but nothing really reaches out and grabs me, either. I feel like I’ve heard this record plenty of times before. This is their first full-length after a string of EPs and singles going back to 2020. I’ll definitely wait to see what they do next before I form a true opinion. One thing I didn’t like, though, were all the dissonant riffs. That’s just my taste. I hate dissonant riffs. That said, this isn't something I was rushing to turn off or speed along, so they're doing something right.
