RECOMMENDATION: Cultura Tres - El Mal del Bien

[dill_the_devil]

Here's a Venezuelan/South American psychedelic/sludge metal band whose latest album 'El Mal del Bien' has been getting a fair few spins at Casa Del Dill lately. Woozy, lurching riffs combine with an occasional grunge-esque vibe to pleasingly unsettling effect. Here's 'Purified';

I should like this but something isn't jiving with me. I think it's the vocals mostly. Also, every time I watch a a made video which included the band playing in some weird spot and making stupid faces, it always ruins it for me.

My first exposure to this band was through this video, as it happens - I ended up writing a piss-take review of the video for OneMetal here;

The band took it surprisingly well!
