Llamas de gloria primera

This chaotic sounding black metal cohort originates from Argentina. The band itself was formed back in 2015 and this is their only release to date.

Their sound production is very raw and totally unpolished. It sounds like a pure rehearsal recording that has to do with their honest and conscious dedication to the past times, where it was done exactly this way. Don't be scared, their debut CD was mixed & mastered properly, just the approach they used during the recording process of their 8 tracks was defined by pure old-school underground spirit.

If I listen to the vocal parts, I can conclude they are definitely about those blood-spitting black metal screams we used to call "true". Regarding the overall music of Enoquian I would say differently as even if the core structures are black metal-ish, we can find a lot of elements coming from the death & thrash metal styles, especially if we look more closely at the guitar playing.

The lyrics respectively to the album title were written in Spanish. I am poor at that language, but the occult symbols and sigils in their booklet suggest me they are about anti-religious and misanthropic themes.

Those who hate modern sounding records are deeply encouraged to get their hands on this wickedly underground black metal item. The CD comes with vinyl-style design on the topside and also includes a killer pit-art on the bottom side, while the booklet is set to 12 pages. You can listen to the entire album at their label's bandcamp profile. Enjoy the crude sounds from the deepest depths of the underground!
