Comment: this project obviously comes out from Chile, South America having been active since the end of 90`s. By analysing the titles of notches and the coverprint of the particular album there can almost be sure about a fact the release is militantly arranged and channelized for. More profoundly, there are up 8 short-running tracks which are designed for to be certain battlefields for elliptical guitar noodling, punching a little brassy/corroded programmed blasts/machine gun-alike shooting and threatening bass lines. Furthermore, it exploits a huge array of samples (spoken word snippets, electronic bits, brass forays) to variegate and provoke the soundscape. On the other side, it pretends to be a bridge between metal/grind and hardcore (and) electronica/cybercore and, if you wish, sound collage/cut and paste. Ultimately, the result is a mesmerizing one. Let`s call it guerilla metal.
