Piedra - Horizonte de sucesos (2021)


I don't usually post here about music older than 2-3 months but I came across this post-rock band from Spain only when they were released by thebravesrecords in May. Not that the album is much older, Piedra showed it at the beginning of the year and it goes without saying that it's absolutely wort any attention.

Horizonte de sucesos  is filled with great-quality guitar music that brings atmosphere of nervousness that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very first to the very last notes. The pace changes more rapid than in some other post-rock works but not as fast as in mathrock, the mood is created mostly by very rock-like guitars and some decorations like voice samples in the opening track Consciencia cósmica. But it's very thick. Which is no wonder as the band admits to get inspiration from some particularly gloomy events like the Chernobyl catastrophe, not to mention a demon itself (namely Abraxas in Bajo el signo de Abraxas). But the overall theme of the albums seems to revolve around the space, both the real and the imaginary aspects of it (Skywalker camina conmigo doesn't have to be translated).

The demon track is especially heavy, when the slow, stoner-metal-like sounds start to dominate the song, the chills up your neck get real. This only proves how versatile the band is and how good they feel in changing the mood of their guitar music from nervous and unnerving to energetic and lively and back to crushingly heavy.
