ABRAXAS - Jugando A Perder Pummeling rhythm section + grunting vox seem to be the calling-card of olde Mexico-steel, but the riffs and chaotic structure is charming. For fans of the raw & exotic.
FORTIA - Sol De La Noche Just when you think they've got a good riff going they either go out of tune, make a pointless break or the annoying "vocalist" craps over it. Stylewise some sort of mellow, upbeat trad HM.
ESPANTA PAJAROS - No Digas No NWOBHM/Ebony Rec-style HM pieced together in a rather peculiar way. Good vocals but sort of abrasive and uncatchy.
ALLISTER - Arde Terrible Hermosura It's Thrashin' time! Just your basic Slayer/Dark Angel/early Sepultura-stuff with grunting DM-vox.
Tracklist side B:
FORTIA - Tauromaquia Starts out great with solid powerful riffing but the guy just can't sing, sorry. Some nice Maiden-like parts saves the day.
ESPANTA PAJAROS - Violencia En La Ciudad Some decent classic HM riffs but here the vocals goes out of tune instead. Leaves no lasting impression I'm afraid..
ALLISTER - Vida Material The better, malicious kind of mid-pace Thrash, more like Infernal Majesty than Testament with neat bursts of speed and tasteful tempochanges. Good shit!
ABRAXAS - La Marca De Cain More intricate (and better) than their first track. Dunno if to label it chaotic or epic, but it's cool crazy Metal either way..
