Sacrosanta Decadencia Occidental Danzas No Solpor Do Mundo LP

Hailing from the oppressed northwest of Spain, SACROSANTA DECADENCIA OCCIDENTAL channels their rage with society into epic, blackened stenchcore. If you like things like NUX VOMICA or AGE OF COLLAPSE, then prepare to get on board with Danzas No Solpor Do Mundo. This sixteen-song album is absolutely brutal in its delivery of punk fury, with Edu’s metallic riffs whipping by at double and triple speed and María’s vocals coming from deep within and shredding vocal cords upon delivery. BOLT THROWER rhythms get chopped and sped up, creating a battle metal vibe that highlights the lyrics about death, war, and the violence of life. Dispersed throughout the album are moments of ambient or classical instrumentation backing spoken word or melodic singing, with the closer “Tebras” offering a beautifully crafted return to nature.
