Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness (2008)





Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness (2008)


Mp3 @ ? kbps - 58 MB


Bajo un fondo depresivo que fluctúa entre la calma narcótica y el ruido cargado de odio,  siempre lleno de reverberación  y con voces enterrado bajo muchas capas de guitarra, esta banda de Middletown Connecticut publico uno de los mejores discos de la época pasada y uno de los debuts de disco doble (en caja de DVD) mas sorprendentes de los que tenga conocimiento.

¿ Pero que es a grandes rasgos lo de Have A Nice Life? Imposible definir o encasillarlo fácilmente. Mantras acústicos y ambientales, Shoegaze, Industrial ,Post Punk, Post Rock, Drone, Black Metal; eso y una lírica cargada de pesimismo, rabia, religión y muerte

La primera pieza del disco "A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticutt" sirve perfectamente como presentación.Folk oscuro, electrónico y narcótico que lentamente crece y cuando acaba te parece tan bonita, iniciando una cacería en pos de la belleza, donde el tiempo se detiene. Solo aire fresco y saludable

Y así, la audacia y experimentación de sus canciones van desde himnos oscuros de eco Post Punk(Bloodhail), temas que recuerdan al Goth Rock, especialmente a Sisters of Mercy(Telephony), sonidos que remiten a los grandes estilistas del folk apocaliptico (Who Would Leave Their Son Out In The Sun, Holy Fucking Shit 40,000) o  Metal (Un riff Black en una cancion Doom en Waiting For Black Metal Records To Come In The Mail), pero en fin, todas las canciones son excepcionales, un cancionero llamado a perdurar.

Sin duda uno de los mejores discos de la década aunque no haya aparecido en listillas(de listas y listillos) tipo Pitchfork. No escucharlo es un sacrilegio.

Dark Throne - Panzerfaust (1995)




Dark Throne - Panzerfaust (1995)

Mp3 @ 192 kbps - 55MB


I think everyone who likes Darkthrone knows that this is the album that broke away from the sound on classics like their first releases. And there were probably hardcore fanatics of T-Hunger that bashed Darkthrone for abandoning that sound. But man, this is heaviness which ranks up there with Celtic Frost, Hellhammer, and at times it almost sounds doom laden. All these songs are classics. Varg from Burzum wrote the lyrics to the monster track on the album: Quintessence. This is my fav track and as stated in other reviews: yes, Nocturno Culto sounds like he is very pissed off, singing from the depths of hell. If you are into the second half of Darkthrone, the half that became this monster wall of heavy sound, don't miss this classic. Also check out Plague Wielder and Ravishing Grimness

Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger (1995)






Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger (1995)

Mp3 @ 192 kbps - 52MB


This is it, the greatest black metal album ever. Mayhem and Burzum, even the great Venom, aren't even close to what Darkthrone created on this album. A freezing wind sweeping over a desolate wasteland. Contrary to what many believe, it is perfectly produced; sounding just the way it should. Unbelievably raw, violent and downright ugly, yet beautifully melodic and atmospheric. Those vocals man, they have to be heard to be believed. The best ever in black metal, simple as that. They hover over the music and sound perfectly, loud and clear. Even the cover art is great; very dark and raw like the album. And the songs are just pure perfection; minimalistic, stripped down to the essential. Simple would be the wrong word, because the compositions are excellent and carefully created. Most lyrics are in Norwegian, adding to the mystique of the album. (Translations are available on the net though). Half of the lyrics are written by Fenriz, the other half by Count Grisnakh from Burzum, who at the time was already in prison for the murder of Euronymus. The evil count even drops some vocals on As Flittermice As Satans Spies; played backwards at the end of the song, it sounds just awesome.
There are really no weak songs on the album, most would say the title track is the best song. Maybe, there are just too many to choose from!
many ways this is the perfection and culmination of the black metal genre; the raw production, haunting and grim atmosphere, great melodies, minimalism; it's all there, executed to perfection. Ironically, there is only one way to go from there, and since its release in 1994 the genre has been on the spiritual decline and into the mainstream. Even Darkthrone themselves have been on the decline since then, although this albums' follow-up Panzerfaust is awesome too. If you only have enough money to buy one black metal album (which would be a pity), buy this one!



Esto es de Black Metal Noruego Los riffs son repetitivos y fascinantes Los tambores se han despojado a sus fundamentos, el Fenriz grita como idiota poseído. Que la mayoría de las canciones son cantadas en noruego e suma a la experiencia del mal y frialdad. El mejor disco de Darkthrone

Darkthrone - Under A Funeral Moon (1993)




Darkthrone - Under A Funeral Moon (1993)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps - 55MB


Minimilism, nihilism, atmosphere...for the most part this is what drives black metal, not exactly the musicianship. There are two BASIC kinds of black metal now; the progrssive (new Enslaved)and the old-school form of raw and primitive. I like both. But I don't recomend Darkthrone, for those who are unaware of their status, to purchase this for some crazy musical epiphony. At least not for musicianship. Chances are, you can play this music. It's not hard, it's not technical, it's not jaw-dropping. If it was, then this album would suck. It would be ruined. Atmosphere and feeling is what drives Darkthrone, not virtuosity. This review basically covers all ground on Darktrhone (Soulside was death metal though, on a side note).

Inferior sólo a Transilvanian Hunger, se trata deL segundo mejor álbum de Darkthrone y
uno de los más grandes álbumes del Black Metal . En virtud de A Funeral Moon es particularmente duro y frío, incluso en comparación con otros álbumes de Darkthrone. Los progresos que hicieron desde "
A Blaze in the Northern Sky
son impresionantes, aunque todavía no al nivel desu obra maestra.La guitarras son difusas y ultra-crudas; mezclan riffs brutales, fríos y rápidos, Las voces son excelentes, el profundo eco les da un deje fantasmal . Los tambores son impresionantes que mas se puede decir.

Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky (1992)


Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky (1992)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -56MB

Después de un gran debut con el disco “Soulside Journey” en 1991, la banda Darkthrone termino desengañándose del Death Metal de su debut por la proliferación de jóvenes que solo seguían el gusto del momento y Darkthrone no quería formar parte de aquello.


Así Gylve Nagell, Ted Skjellum e Ivar Enger pasaron a ser Fenriz, Nocturno Culto y Zephyrous y del Death Metal nada singular de hasta entones a crear el primer disco True Norwegian Black Metal, un clásico instantáneo del metal de todos los tiempos, y la banda Black Metal que sigue influenciando a cientos de jóvenes en sus discos (la mala producción, las portadas, etc.)


“A Blaze In The Northern Sky“es un disco crudo y sucio con una producción pobre (¿intencional?), pero que así le da una mayor atmósfera de odio y violencia que finalmente es lo que querían trasmitir

Abre con “Kathaarian Life Code” una ¿canción? que empieza con unos susurros o rezos y algunos ruidos extraños o tal vez palabras, que si no se esta acostumbrado puede dar miedo a continuación de eso simplemente revienta el tema a una gran velocidad y que a pesar de lo que supondría uno, tiene muchos cambios de ritmo y no blastbeat una y otra vez. Sigue “In the Shadow of the Horns”, una de las mejores canciones del disco con un riff memorable que tiene un deje punk como del excelente Morbid Tales de Celtic Frost y una letra apocalíptica:

In the Shadow of the Horns
only seen by the Kings

of the Dawn (of the) First Millennium

upon the Thrones

Ay guey yae dio miedo

Podría comentar más pero será mejor que lo escuches y me digas que tal ya que todo depende de tu estado de animo y si es de día o de noche, así que en conclusión para ya no hacerla de tos tanto, uno de los mejores discos y el mas importante junto al “Misteriis Dom Satanás” de la a veces chusca escena Black Metal.

Darkthrone - Soulside Journey (1990)




Darkthrone - Soulside Journey (1990)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps - 56MB


just don't see why this album isn't liked all that much. I think it's one of the better Death Metal albums ever released. This was also my first Death Metal album.
The level of musicianship on this album is amazing, especially compared to Darkthrone's later releases, which were very primitive and minimalistic in songwriting (not a bad thing; I also love their later stuff as well). This album shows a lot of promise, and I've been wondering for awhile how Darkthrone would be today if they'd stayed in the Death Metal path. This reminds me of some other bands, like Entombed or Slipknot for example, who played Death Metal in the beginning (check Entombed's Left Hand Path and Clandestine, and Slipknot's Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.), but have changed their style around a bit (Entombed adding Rock influences, Slipknot becoming Nu Metal).

Every song here is great, but if I had to pick a favorite, it'd probably be Sempiternal Sepulchrality. Other good songs include every song here. In fact, I'm FAR from being a big fan of instrumentals (on Metallica's first four albums, the only instrumental I can enjoy is Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth from Kill 'Em All), but the two instrumentals present here (Track 4, Accumulation of Generalization, and track 11, Eon) are great songs, which aren't pretentious and dragged-out, and they actually enhance the mood of the album as a whole.

Every song here except for the instrumental tracks has at least one guitar solo. Nocturno Culto's solos are some of the best I've ever heard. I honestly can't tell who's singing on this album though. No one in the lineup is listed as a singer, but Fenriz is listed as lyricist. In the interviews on this digipak version, from what I remember, neither Fenriz nor Nocturno Culto say who sings on this album. Although I have a feeling it's Fenriz, because I know he sings on Darkthrone's early demoes, yet the vocals here sound different. Oh well.

Overall, like the title of this review says, this is a true Death Metal classic. Few other Death Metal albums I've heard measure up to this (one album that is just as good, if not better, is Nile's Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka). The music is very technical, yet very atmospheric (the keyboards in certain parts remind me of a combo of Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness and Nocturnus' Ethereal Tomb), and envokes unique moods just like Under A Funeral Moon or Transilvanian Hunger. If you find this in a store near you, or on Ebay or whatever, I highly reccomend this album.


Que buen debut, suena como a banda de Florida o tal ves de Tlalnepantla a finales de los 80´s, ya sabrá el metalero viejo: Cambios de ritmos constantes, voces guturales, temática con mucha referencia a la muerte, pero cada vez que pongo esto recuerdo mucho a Dismember y a Entombed, no se si me quedo con esta etapa nada original, en la que tocaban buen Death machacón o la que sigue después de este disco y todos los escándalos de esa escena que dan bastante flojera a veces.

Darkthrone - Evil Past (1988-1989)









Darkthrone - Evil Past (1988-1989)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps - 44MB



This compilation of old Darkthrone material features songs from three different sources. All the stuff on Evil Past predates the time when Darkthrone found the voice that made them the seminal band that they are with albums like Transilvanian Hunger or A Blaze in the Northern Sky.

The first of the three sources is the Thulcandra Demo, which until now was most easily found on the Darkthrone/Mayhem Split. If you haven't heard that yet, it features three of the songs found on Darkthrone's first (and only death metal) album, Soulside Journey, but more raw and dirty. If you haven't heard that yet, imagine simple, Celtic Frost inspired death metal with some lulling breaks. This was when Fenriz did more than just the necro blast beat.

The next five tracks come off of the Land of Frost Demo, recorded in 1988. The pleasantly satisfying raw drum sound is replaced by what sounds like someone beating the hell out of a cardboard box and a tambourine. These tracks are a grab bag of various experiments (mostly failed) that Darkthrone played with. You'll hear some rather alarming vocals, like on "Land of Frost," where it sounds like the singer is doing that face flapping thing that cartoon characters do when they shake themselves off after being blown up.

On "Forests of Darkness," the band unsuccessfully runs the vocals and some of the music through something that gives things a wheezing electronic echo-like quality.

A few times the riffs on the Land of Frost Demo sound like Metallica. It's especially curious how a track on "Land of Frost" sounds like a rip off of "Unforgiven," but this demo pre-dates the black album!

The experimentation takes a rest on track seven, which is the most dark and evil on the five-song demo, and features a lulling break. Then Darkthrone is all over the map again with "Death of the Dead," which features more wacky cartoon vocals, and material that shifts from Metallica riffs to punk, another lull, and then doom.

The final track is an unreleased one called "Snowfall." It is superior to the Land of Frost Demo. The "Snowfall" on Evil Past is not the same "Snowfall" on Preparing for War, by the way. The latter is an essential instrumental epic, while the former is another track of dirty Darkthrone death. Evil Past's allure no doubt comes from the fact that it'd old Darkthrone stuff, and therefore should really only be bought by fans of the band who also like the band's pre-black metal manifestation.

Xasthur - The Funeral of Being (2003)



Xasthur - The Funeral of Being (2003)
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -80 MB

XASTHUR, a band that brings tears of joy to my eyes; seriously, it’s hard to bring Malefic and his artwork up around me: I may start to sob. XASTHUR has been at the forefront of the American Black Metal movement along with JUDAS ISCARIOT, LEVIATHAN, KRIEG and GRAND BELIAL’S KEY. Malefic took the one man band route and started XASTHUR with a sound that was reminiscent of a combination of BURZUM (of course), MÜTIILATION and THE CURE.

“Funeral Of Being” in my opinion is the weakest of all the XASTHUR albums, but that’s a lot like saying the Atom Bomb is weak compared to the H-Bomb, it still destroys anything around it and leaves the area clear for years. “Funeral Of Being” has some of XASTHUR’s more aggressive material, with more blast-beats, double bass and overall drum work than “Nocturnal Poisoning” before it and “Telepathic With The Deceased” after it.

One thing I really do love about “Funeral Of Being” is the atmosphere, although it is more aggressive, “The Funeral Of Being’s” atmosphere is ridiculously somber and dark, the muddy production provides a ethereal and organic feel to the whole album and really gives the feeling of utter hatred and complete isolation. Songs like “Tyrant Of Nightmares” pound away with blast beats and quickly shift to a humming melody leave the listener gasping for air, while the following song “Intro” (done on the third track) is unnerving and disturbing with reverse melodies and piano chords.

Another great succession of songs would be the back to back “Blood From The Roots Of The Forest” 2 & 1 (yes out of order, I didn’t mess up...yet) these songs are two of the most ridiculously atmospheric songs ever, especially “Part 1” a haunting melody of creeping death, that’s what that song is like. The best track on the entire album has to be “Reflecting Hateful Energy” with its amazing riff, haunting passages and utterly tortured vocals, a ridiculous song with some of the scariest vocal performances ever: simply divine, pure unadulterated evil energy. “Outro” is a continuation of the first two “Intro” with the piano and the cello and reverse melodies, truly a great way to end the record.


Now, it may seem like I only have praises for this album and that’s really true, while it is the weakest XASTHUR record, it is still some of the finest Black Metal ever made, if your new to XASTHUR, then this isn’t the album to get, try “Telepathic With The Deceased” or “Nocturnal Poisoning” but for fans of Ambient Black Metal or XASTHUR at all this is mandatory, KILLER! .

Xasthur - Suicide in Dark Serenity (2003)


Xasthur - Suicide in Dark Serenity (2003)))
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -61 MB

This album is one that accompanied a period of time when someone close to me was succumbing to illness and dying. For me, this album breathed desolation and wild hatred into my soul... I have nothing but praise for this album. Xasthur's earlier work is where my loyalties lie, those albums being more recognizably evil and psychologically demented.

Suicide in Dark Serenity has a submerged quality which makes it seem as though the listener is being drowned slowly in a stagnant creek in cold and pitch blackness. The drums have a throbbing quality which can lend the music a certain brutality at times though this is definitely not the overlying mood of the album.
If one is feeling sickening hatred for the world and the human way, this album washes the consciousness into oblivion and slices pieces from your mind; ultimately this album after an entire listening takes the life out of you.

The riffing is droning and the synths accentuate the desolation; the vocals are sometimes indistinguishable from all the other swirling noise that constitutes the bleak sonic scape.

If you had to choose several Xasthur albums to listen to, I would recommend (in order) Suicide in Dark Serenity, Nocturnal Poisoning, The Funeral of Being, and A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors.

Xasthur - Nocturnal Poisoning (2002)



Xasthur - Nocturnal Poisoning (2002))
Mp3 @ 192 kbps -92 MB

2002, XASTHUR released “Nocturnal Poisoning” on the unsuspecting Black Metal crowd and changed American Black Metal forever. Arguably the greatest debut album ever, and my personal favorite, “Nocturnal Poisoning” broke new ground with its ethereal, driving force, buzzing guitars and tortured vocals. Malefic took inspiration from the masters MÜTIILATION and BURZUM, and added his own tortured touch to the Black Metal styling.


The album opens up with “In The Hate Of Battle” a slow, keyboard driven piece with some of the most haunting melodies and ferocious vocals recorded. The monotone of the guitars melded with the keyboards to create and atmosphere akin to be suffocated, the production made it even mo so. “Soul Abduction Ceremony” is a slower piece, with a guitar driven lead, moving into a furious and hellacious scream and then into a soothing guitar piece once again, truly frightening music here!



The now infamous “A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors” made its third (of about a million) appearance(s) and perfected the use of Malefic’s voice as an instrument of its own, only creating disturbing shrieks in the background, adding pure terror to the release, a highlight of the album and US Black Metal as a whole. “Black Imperial Blood” (a MÜTIILATION cover) doesn’t even feel out of place, it’s like Malefic wanted to pay homage to the forefathers, and did it so well.



This leads us to what is probably my favorite track on the album, “Legion Of Sin And Necromancy”. This song must be what Hell sounds like, quickly moving from peaceful tranquility to utter chaos at the drop of a hat, with Malefic screeching his brains out as if his lungs didn’t belong in his body and he needed them out. This song is an 11 minute monster that lurks beneath the subtle waves of “Nocturnal Poisoning” only to come up to feed on the weak, honestly, this is one of the best songs, creating an atmosphere that is almost too much to bear.


And again we are hit with another fantastic track, “A Walk Beyond Terror”, pure genius and utter beauty wrapped in the package of filth and the blackest of Black Metal. Reverse melodies, crazy piano work and utterly insane vocals. PURE AND UTTER HORROR! That is the only sentence to define this song; it’s too much, too much. The title track is again, with no surprise, phenomenal, the production on this song changes slightly, focusing more on the vocals and keyboards, which is another thing to mention, the vocals on this song seem nonstop, like a stream of chaos, confusion and death. To quote Charles “I imagine if Lucifer himself would be caught on tape his raspy voice would sound similar to this recording.” No truer words have been said.


“Forgotten Depths Of Nowhere” brings this nightmarish journey to an end, with beautiful and monotone keyboards, repeating the same lulling melody over and over, to relieve the listener from the physically and mentally trying experience he just took.


Now normally I really do not like track by track reviews, they seem a little amateurish to me, but the sheer immense power of this release mandated that every song be justified in itself. Malefic can do no wrong, and even this early in his career, he showed that he was the Blackest of them all. “Nocturnal Poisoning” stands as a benchmark for modern Black Metal as a whole, and one man metal bands to come, from the vocal style that has been mimicked since, to the utter chaotic nature of the music, XASTHUR is and will be: the end all be all in Black Metal. The question isn’t if you can handle XASTHUR, but if you’re worthy.

Immortal - Blizzard Beasts (1997)



Immortal - Blizzard Beasts (1997)Mp3 @ 192 kbps -39 MB
Flamante trabajo de los blackers noruegos de IMMORTAL y contrario a lo que escuchamos en su “Pure Holocaust” ahora o ya aprendieron a desarrollar mejor su odio Black Metal de pandas endemoniados o simplemente ya les agarró la madurez en su furia mu…ruidosa.

So nueve canciones en donde la ventisca (Blizzard) se convierte mas bien en un devastador huracán de proporciones demoníacas, en donde el trío de los diablos noruegos, nos siguen mostrando como el Black Metal sigue siendo su ley y el mejor vehiculo para mostrar su odio.

La rabia negra ahora se ve adecuadamente matizada por algunos esporádicos como hábiles y prodigiosos teclados que no cambian en nada la fisonomía del track en donde aparecen y si les dan una identificación propia, así ahora ya es posible distinguir un corte de otro sin ver el songlist.


Destacan por supuesto la intro(con utilización de los más modernos efectos tecnológicos de sonido), la rola homónima, “Battlefields” (que va en súper chinga), “Noctambulant” y “Frostdemonstorm” (con un doble bombo que va como alma que lleva el diablo).Descubriéndose también el muso de guitarras mas crujientes y ya no tan caóticas como aquel Holocausto Puro.

La otra razón por la cual encontramos mas degustable este trabajo de los noruegos es que tal vez ahora el Black Metal (con toda la barba asesina y demoníaca) ha invadido tranquilamente los demás géneros y en donde ocasionalmente ya nos resulta imposible clasificar o encontrar la definición de los nuevos estilos de las nuevas bandas y no tan nuevas bandas.

Immortal - Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism (1992)




Immortal - Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism (1992)

Mp3 @ Vbr kbps -48 MB


Immortal es una banda de black metal, fundada en Bergen (Noruega en el año 1989, por Olve Eikemo y Harald Nævdal. Sus letras han estado mayormente influenciadas por la majestuosidad del invierno.


En sus comienzos, Immortal se inició como una banda de death metal llamada Amputation. Para 1989, Demonaz, principal guitarrista, decide armar una nueva banda con la ayuda de Abbath, vocalista y bajista de Old Funeral. Después, con la incorporación de otro integrante, Armagedda, en la batería, lanzan su primer demo llamado "Unholy Forces of Evil" en el año 1991, y un año después, lanzan su primer larga duración titulado "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism", un disco con un aire del death metal imperante en la época: brutalidad y velocidad.
Se dice que
Euronymous, guitarrista de Mayhem, fue el responsable de la incursión de Immortal en la escena del black metal en Noruega; pues, en el año 1993 lanzan su segundo L.P. titulado "Pure Holocaust". Este disco, repleto de temas brutales y sin ningún tipo de adornos musicales, es considerado por muchos como el álbum más técnico y mejor elaborado, en toda la escena black metalera, hasta el presente. Para la grabación de este disco entra "Grim" (Erik Brødreskift), en la batería, aunque, realmente fue Abbath quien toco la batería durante las grabaciones.


Mientras
Noruega era sacudida, aun, por las fuertes acciones producidas por el Inner Circle, para el año de 1995, graban su tercer larga duración: "Battles In The North". En "Battles In The North" se puede apreciar el nivel de habilidad existente en Abbath y en Demonaz, en líneas generales el disco les abrió las puertas al mundo musical, fuera de Noruega, ya que lograron afianzar su propio sonido: seco e invernal.

Ya, en
1997, y con Horg en la batería, lanzan el disco "Blizzard Beast", en el cual dan un paso atrás, ya que el sonido de esta placa los hace aparentar a Morbid Angel, con una atmósfera más death metal que en sus anteriores discos.

Lamentablemente luego de grabar "Blizzard Beast", Demonaz se ve en la obligación de retirarse, debido a una tendinitis en su brazo que le impedirá tocar; a partir de ahí Demonaz se queda en la banda, solo en las letras y el apoyo moral.
"At The Hearth Of Winter" es el siguiente trabajo de Immortal, en este álbum participan solamente Abbath, que del bajo pasa a la guitarra y Horgh en la batería; Demonaz apoya con las letras. En este álbum se puede apreciar un desarrollo notable en cuanto a estilo y técnica en los compositores; en temas como "Whinstand The Fall Time" y "Where Dark And Light Don't Differ" se puede apreciar el afianzamiento del sonido seco e invernal que siempre ha caracterizado a estos noruegos. Durante este periodo, la banda sufre algunos cambios en la alineación; pasando desde Ares (
Aeternus, Gorgoroth) hasta Iscariah (Necropoghia, Wurdulak, Dead To This World); este último participarían en las grabaciones de los albums "Damned in Black" 2000 y "Sons Of Northen Darkness" 2002.


2003 seria el ultimo año para Immortal; después de la partida de Iscariah y la llegada de Saroth (
Pain, Abemal, Velgemer) en bajo, la banda se dedicaría a un intenso trabajo en tours y presentaciones. Finalmente, y por decisiones personales de los miembros del grupo se decide dar fin a 13 años de carrera en Immortal, separándose en el mes de julio de 2003.


Sin embargo, para fortuna de sus muchos seguidores, en el año 2006 es anunciado el regreso de la banda, después de tres años de separación, siendo participes en grandes festivales como el Inferno Festival y el Wacken Open Air. Immortal ha hablado sobre el lanzamiento de un nuevo álbum para finales del 2007 o el próximo año, no obstante la banda ahora se concentra en las presentaciones para el año 2007.
