Paralitikos – Roma No Paga Traidores review
Los Paralitikos – is a Spanish band, formed in 89. Their influence on the scene is as huge as the Paralisis Permanente’s one is, and it can be purely seen in all south-American, Spanish neo-batcave/post-punk/ modern deathrock bands. Last year they released EP «Roma No Paga Traidores», which contains 6 tracks. During the years of its existence Paralitikos have made a huge way, their musical development has been reflected not only on the band itself, but also on the Spanish, South America scenes at all, therefore, this release also reflects the state of this scene as a unique phenomenon.
«Roma No Paga Traidores» begins with «La Resistencia», which has already become a hit among fans of such music, aggressive feeding and unforgettable melody creates the appropriate mood of a listener. The next track «Licantro Punk» is not less memorable and melodic. At «La Sombra De Vincent Rice» the group reduces the rate, and gives excellent portion of great obscurantism instead. The next song in the album titled «Roma No Paga Traidores» the most aggressive and angry theme of this release. «Anubis» – is a very slow and in my opinion tedious and boring song, which helps a listener rather breath, before the climax track «Venganzas y Sentimientos», this is my very favorite song on the album, rhythmic shifts, acceleration , holding the guitar and keyboards lines.
The album, like all band’s releases is in Spanish, and if you like, for example, Alas De Cuervo 2006 this work should be up to you to taste.
Melodic guitars, ubiquitous, and highlight the complexity and diversity of the keys, creating the effect of a combination of several melodies, while all the music is very complex and aggressive, it is equally suitable for single reflection and, in order to jump, wrestle and slamming. The very group positions itself as the Post-Punk, I agree with this definition, but one can understand those who feel that the team now plays (modern) deathrock. Roma No Paga Traidores – it is not adjusted to the attempt to fashion the sound, not release from fossil relics, it is the spirit of time and a retrospective of the past, this release will give an example for young and aggressive groups like Gorgonas, Los Carniceros del Norte and at the same time is worthy of the ears of fans, Paralisis Permanente, the early works of Paralitikos.
