This is an old band that has begun a new life and is lead by Chino (La
ira da Dios, 311) and features members of Serpentine Satellite as well. They
originally formed way back in 2002-2005 as Qondor. They are a trio and play
instrumental psychedelic rock. This album was recorded live in Nov 2017 and
features 4 tracks between 10-12 mins each. Martillo starts things off with a
heavy slow bass line and then pretty quickly the track gains in intensity with
some guitar with a lot of delay and reverb, making it all sound pretty spaced
out. It really rocks out at the end. Amanecer en Tres Cruces starts slowly and
spacey but then the bass and drums start to drive the track forward as the
spaced out guitar is sort of slowly trying to catch up with the guys with the
long delays on the guitar sort of holding him back! After awhile, the tracks
has a sort of soft landing. I really dig the bass playing as the track floats
in these parts. Antiguos Dioses sobre Chilca is the longest track at 13mins and
starts with some spaced out guitar effects over the slowly building drums and
bass. This track features a highly effected vocal in the middle over a more
melodic guitar section before the real intense guitar kicks in again. I wish he
would change his sound a bit more though as this very deep reverb/delay sound
gets a bit tiring on your ears and can make all the songs sound a bit too much
the same. He plays super cool stuff though. Templos finishes off this album and
starts with a very repetitive bass line as the guitar lightly guides and spaces
out over the top. After a few minutes the drums starts to build up again and
off we go.. into some familiar territory- Spaced out Peru!
If you are a fan of the old La Ira de Dios, this is heading back into
that direction for sure. Really cool guitar from the guy in Serpentine
Satellite as well. Pounding drums. Spaced out stuff from Lima, Peru!! Enjoy.
