Album Review: Ayermaniana - El Reflejo (2019)

Picture Credit: Ayermaniana Photo: Victoria de Rosa Artwork: Sol Bodean  and Alfredo Ignacio Ayermaniana - El Reflejo Release Date: January 07, 2019 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 37:10 Genre: Psychedelic Rock / Krautrock Origin: Buenos Aires , Argentina Ayermaniana were last featured here in the Discoveries of the Week . Their last release "E Reflejo" might not be super new. Actually, the album is almost two years old the days I'm beginning to review it. But it would be a crying shame not to talk about this hypnotizing release from Argentina. Ayermaniana means "Yesterday Morning" in Spanish and as you might have guessed yourselves, the album title "El Reflejo" means "The Refection". On their third longplayer, the quintet from Buenos Aires takes their audience on a mind-expanding journey through thick smoke and stunningly colourful images. It is their raw mix of Psychedelia and Krautrock with Prog that makes "El Reflejo...

Album Review: Fulanno - Nadie está a salvo del mal (2020)

  Picture Credit: Fulanno Artwork: ZZ_Corpse Fulanno - Nadie está a salvo del mal Release Date: October 02, 2020 Label: Interstellar Smoke Records (Vinyl), Forbidden Place Records (CD), Southcave Records (MC), Juana Records Format: Vinyl / CD / MC / Digital Length: 42:58 Genre: Stoner Doom / Doom Metal Origin: Coronda , Argentina Yesterday, we listened to an Argentinan band that had their vinyl released via Interstellar Smoke Records . Well, today we do the same. Let me introduce you to Fulanno from Coronda, Argentina. The trio has released their third longplayer "Nadie estáa salvo del mal" (Spanish: "No one is safe from evil") in October 2020. This is some severe Stoner Doom! Clearly, there are some strong Sabbath vibes on "Nadie está a salvo del mal". The sound is coined by a smoked-out post-apocalyptic and stoned atmosphere. Viewing the musical landscape it cannot be told whether the wads of smoke come from the burned-down place that used to be our ...

Album Review: HombreHumano - Crepuscular (2019/2020)

Image
Picture Credit: Hombre Humano Artwork: Caveman HombreHumano - Crepuscular Release Date: April 24 2019 / November 27, 2020 Label: Interstellar Smoke Records Format: Vinyl / CD / MC / Digital Length: 54:12 Genre: Fuzz Rock / Desert Rock Origin: Argentina "Crepuscular" (Spanish: "Twilight") is the second album by Argentinan Fuzz Rockers HombreHumano (Spanish: Human Man). It was originally released in spring 2019 on tape and CD. But Christmas came early this year as Polish label Interstellar Smoke Records is distributing the vinyl version since November 27, 2020. So, let's enter the twilight zone and enjoy the psychedelic sound of the Argentinan desert. The sound HombreHumano present here is an honest hommage to 1960s and 70s Rock. On the surface I find some similarities to their brethen KNEI . "Crepuscular" is coined by two major features: fuzz and heat. The sounds create an intense and dry heat that tastes like rough dust storms and feels like aimless h...

Album Review: IAH - III (2020)

Image
  Picture Credit: IAH Photo: Fernando Scarpa Artwork: Guillermo Scarpa IAH - III Release: September 11, 2020 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 55:02 Genre: Post Rock / Post Metal Origin: Córdoba , Argentina When Córdoba's José Landín  (drums), Mauricio Condon  (guitar) and Juan Pablo Lucco Borlera (bass) play music together, you can be sure it is going to be atmospheric. The trio from Argentina has released three album within the last three years. The newest one of these is 2020's "III". The impressive cover artwork gives you a good hint of what we are about to experience here. "III" is an hour-long reverie that leads us to abandoned places on our planet and beyond. So lean back, close your eyes and let the music paint the pictures. IAH present a beautiful interplay of smooth Post Rock motifs with clean leads and tough Post Metal driven by distorted riffing. Atmospheric harmonies build huge structures like monoliths in a frozen sea. The mood is oft...

EP Review: Episodios Anarquistas - Diez Cuadros Por Minuto (2020)

Image
Picture Credit: Episodios Anarquistas Artwork: Nico Mezca Episodios Anarquistas - Diez Cuadro Por Minuto Release: September 11, 2020 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 14:45 Genre: Experimental / Funk / Noise Origin: Buenos Aires , Argentina   There are many artists or bands and their music that are easy to describe. And there are bands like Episodios Anarquistas, the Freakshow trio from Buenos Aires. Their first EP is called "Diez Cuadro Por Minuto" (Spanish: "ten frames/pictures per minute") and contains ten songs, none of them longer than two minutes. And music-wise? Well, it is a savage but sohpisticated mixture of Funk, Noise and madness. On the surface there are funky riffs and licks. Those are built upon a raging jazzy drumset and dance along glitchy Noise, atmospheric soundscapes and artistic intermezzi. Even though the ten songs only last between 60 and 120 seconds each, tension is constantly built up and the tracks are super dynamic. And yes, it...

Album Review - KNEI - III (2020)

Image
It's time to put on some comfortable clothes, open a drink if you like and come together for a big dance. KNEI from La Pampa, Argentina are reviving the Summer of Love with their new album "III". The five-track record was released last June and will be availabe for records lovers via Nécio Records this May. And I tell you, KNEI play the kind of music you really want to listen to on vinyl! Picture Credit: EPK from Nécio Records: Nicolás Foti / Retratos de Seudo Blanco  A bit more than half an hour of beautifully rolling Psychedelic Rock are to be experienced on "III". KNEI themselves call their style "Rock Psicopampa". Clean guitar, fuzzy and warm bass and heavily marching drums invite us on a gorgeous time travelling trip to the 60s. Right after the strong opener 'Vieja mujer (besos de otro días)' ('Old Lady (kisses from another day)' KNEI dive into the emotional slow jam 'Balada para una amiga' ('Ballad for a fri...

Split Review: Hispanodelia (2020)

Image
The Southern and Central part of the American continents are fantastic breeding grounds for badass underground sounds and beautiful music off charts. This is once more proven by the recently released Split EP "Hispanodelia" which features six amazing bands from Latin America. Without further ado, let's have a look at the songs by: La Iglesia Atomica (Puerto Rico), Laura La Sangrienta (Peru), Yaatra (Argentina), Hoja Madre (Peru), La Sustancia Divina (Mexico) and Múcaro (Dominican Republic). 1. La Iglesia Atomica - The Art of Levitation (08:28) Puerto Rican band La Iglesia Atomica ("atomic church") was founded in 1990 and re-founded in 2016. On their Bandcamp site you'll find a ton of releases by the trio from San Juan. The pioneers of the Latin American Psychedelic and Stoner Rock scene open the split with a beautiful psychedelic jam called 'The Art of Levitation'. The song is a fuzzy and mesmerizing journey through space and t...

Album Review: Bonehammer - Black Crust Invasion (2019)

Image
Nomen est omen. Buenos Aires-based trio Bonehammer called their debut album "Black Crust Invasion", and that is exactly what you get. For a bit more than half an hour the Argentinian Metal Punks serve their audience with dirty and crusty attacks made from Black Metal , Stenchcore, Crust Punk and rotten Rock'n'Roll. Formed in 2018, Ódnüfak , Onahíram  and Alaph  already present their first longplayer which was released via Awakening Records in November 2019. The album contains a dozen tracks of mid-tempo and some faster crusty and metallic Punk Rock. Omnipresent attribute is the pitch black atmosphere decorated with the sweet taste of beer and raised fists. As the backbone of the "Black Crust Invasion" Alaph s drums hammer straight forward with Thrash, Black and Metal Punk rhythms. Onaharím  fills the gaps between the hits with his massive bass guitar on which Odnüfak  thrones with his crunchy, distorted Metal guitar riffs. Then and when Onaharím  adds...
