Progressive death metal in the vein of Akerfeldt & Co. Melancholic, yet terrorizing. Somber, while at the same time tempestuous. Frantic melodies that segue seamlessly in to doleful acoustic passages. These sullen moments are accompanied by dignified clear vocals that bring an air of elegance to the feral atmosphere that the guitars paint with audiogenic brushwork. Aim, shoot, fire, bullseye!! No bullshit, these Spanish conquistadors have hit the mark.



2 tracks -Walk the Mist In the Lack/Nectar In the Nocturnal River
 
an excellent album for sure. the riffs are refreshing and the music is well thought out. all hail progressive extreme metal:kickass:
 
Mudvayne or Mudhoney?

That second track you posted pales in comparison of the first. So in the end, good sound, great playing skills, need to step out of the shadow of their forebearers and drop the überlong soft parts.
