'Pururauca' (Mythic Metal) I know this album came out in 2009, but this blog is not worth firsts and-long-review. Without fear of contradiction, this group is the best thing Arequipa has given birth to Peru in the last decade and his album 'Pururauca' is confirmed.
While his music has been labeled a folk metal, this is much broader, because you nuances death, thrash, heavy, doom, progressive, and of course, folk.
The CD starts in a landslide with 'bicolour Cannibalism. " Paul Pinto becomes a powerful machine-by the way is one of the best drummers in metal-Peruvian overwhelming rate that suddenly broken by a folk arrangement for unleashing a soaring and captivating that you hooked until the end. The game must-wrenching vocals and deep, and the nuances and breaks are a versatile group of Chaska and captivating. The balance between the brutal, melodic and mystical is perfect.
Butt with 'A Flower Brought me down' (A flower made me fall), with a more intimate feeling, but with a good dose of brutality. Alonso Carlo Raffo (vocals / guitar) has shown that four types of voices (one death, one black, one thrasher and clean) and there is no room for monotony.
the wake of the luminous star-Chaska in Quechua, you still wrapping 'Night Calls' (The Call of the Night) and 'Nymph of the Lake', nostalgic melodies, melancholy, evocative and mysterious.
The beautiful instrumental 'Achuma', Quechua and Aymara word meaning giant cactus (San Pedro), gives a break to record with some progressive and experimental air, although the subject has its vent.
'Pictures', is full of nuances and contrasts, heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time, while Tuta Ch'aska is more evocative. Keep 'Silent notes of agony' (Silent shouts of agony), ring 'maidenescas' but Chaska led style are combined with folk mysticism and the power of death.
With 'Katari' (snake) becomes calm. It is a beautiful and seductive instrumental strings, bagpipe, flutes and Peruvian cajon.
closes the album 'Pururauca', a song that tells the Inca legend about the battle of Yahuarpampa (plain blood in Quechua), when the stones become warriors and they manage to overcome the powerful Inca Chanca army in 1438. It is the only song sung in Castilian and almost 15 minutes of majesty, strength and mysticism.
In 1999, planted the seed Kranium folk metal in Peru, in the region, with his masterful and innovative CD 'Testimonials'. Chaska, 10 years later with its own personality, took that legacy, like it or not, and has led him to another level in terms of technique, composition and hardness.
note is the work of Spirit Myth (Mythic Metal) has published a very good form this material, must for all lovers of 'metal Peruvian. "
Hopefully this star continue to shine for many years and continue giving us more albums like this (or similar).
