Voltar - Bestias (2021)


Voltar, the band from El Salvador, appeared on my blog years ago when they were releasing their second album. Their rough and powerful sound got only rougher and more powerful, but also better quality-wise, as this year's EP Bestias shows perfectly.

The EP "explores the condition of the human being as a beast that sustains an internal struggle between light and darkness". They do that with music that marries crushingly heavy, post-metal-like mighty guitars with elements of psychedelia, shoegaze and even dream pop. Especially the opening King of Light shows that with drums and guitars sounding like hits in your face while psychedelically dreamy vocals sound like borrowed from best moments of Kairon; IRSE!. This combination works so well throughout the whole album with the mesmerizing flow of Ritual that ends with an enormously satisfying finish, melodic Everything Is Full of Love (and it's not Bjork's cover) and the finishing noise of Bestias. Their sound really reminds me of the already mentioned Finns and I dig this comparison a lot.

Bestias costs 7.99 USD.
