Here is the latest album from this cult death/grind band directly from Spain. The music is extremely brutal but despite this brutality we can feel some thrash influences (check for example the first track "Banquete Funerario" to listen some of the riffs and drum beats). The guitar riffs are always fast as hell and in some places they are more rhythmic (usually when the drums start playing a slower rhythm) There are a lot of blast beats and guttural vocals making this one of the most brutal releases of the year. The sound of the recording is really good one, specially concerning the drums that are recorded clearly and loud (as it should be). Also, the vocals are guttural but at the same time clearly (I mean that you can discern what the lyrics are about, specially if you speak spanish). As I said before....one of the most brutal releases of the year !!!

Favorite tracks: "Enterradas en el Jardin"; "Purificación a Través del Dolor" y "Trono de Huesos".
