Comment: Radikal Satan
is a duo from Buenos Aires, Argentina who has issued a bunch of albums since
2003. More profoundly, this 5-track release is unquestionably radical due to
the artist`s keenness to lace organically ominous folk progressions with gothic
concrete music snippets and brooding industrial panoramas. “Folk music” does
mean both “world music”, and “dark folk music” in the recent context. For
instance, concertina`s drones are juxtaposed against anguished vocal
progressions and emphasized spoken word rows and bold double bass chords to
express his feelings and senses. At times Radikal Satan`s sound makes progress
into exulting tango grooves which is simultaneously unbelievable and very
welcome. All in all, the result is truly impressive igniting for next steps to
explore the whole discography by this artist.
