REVIEW: PROSAPIA - SOMBRAS ASFIXIANTES

 


PROSAPIA - SOMBRAS ASFIXIANTES (Independent, 2001)


Produced by Prosapia

Recorded at Sergio Delfino´s Studio

Cover Art by Juvi


Tracks: 1- Jinete Oscuro, 2- Clamad por vos


Here we have this two track CD from this band that come from the province of San Juan in the west of Argentina. The music here is mid paced black metal with some thrash elements and a lot of climatic moments (as in the intro of "Clamad por vos" where a melodic and melancholic line is developed by the band in the keyboards). I have to say that living in Argentina and knowing how difficult is to play the most extreme styles here I have to give my thumbs up to this guys because their music has a lot of quality and they have worked hard here. One thing that they have to work a little bit is the sound of the recording that is a little bit muddy, specially on the guitars and drums (the keyboard can sound clearer but is up on the mix, so one can listen what is doing really well). I hope more bands like Prosapia arise from Argentina so we can make a big step on the extreme metal world.

Favorite tracks: Both tracks are good. This guys deserve a better sound
