Azterion (Costa Rica)


Azterion (Costa Rica): Destructural (Negativity Records)
Azterion is mostly concerned with making an overwhelming racket. Noisy stuff.
After a few listens, it still sounds noisy. The total brutality of low, guttural, incomprehensible vocals, and a swirling mess of a guitar wall of terror just abuse the ears. There is a technical/progressive side to the band, but the massive noise makes it difficult to hear that really well.
It’s not sing-along music and it’s not even growl-along music. If you try to bang your head, you might find that it’s difficult to keep up. You’ll be banging your head, and then, they switch the rhythm and you’ll stop and say, “What? What just happened?!”
Plus, they have a sense of humor. They end the recording with a mellow piano piece and the last minute is the sweetest guitar solo!
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there. www.myspace.com/azterionband
