Patan is a band that always surprised me, because they do not follow the routines of the genre. This new disc represents something different to the previous ones, as the topics are totally original and unexpected. Patan is not one of those bands that the discs are similar, but it is necessary to compare them. On Acero, the previous disc the topics were more attractive and direct, let's say.
On Conquista the tracks are more conceptual, more elaborated, as if the band had experimented more. Excluding the first track "Mienten" that it is a track with powerful riffs of a tremendous impact, the topics that continue are constant changing. For example, one that I surprised is the third one " El equilibrista " where after an introduction wave I think terrifying of the guitars, the topic unhooks with powerful riffs wave like Pantera that they accompany on a Lyrics type " modern nightmare " that I liked very much.
Well, to be quick, another surprise is the topic " Al borde ", honoring to Pappo, (argentine guitar hero who died in 2004 in a traffic accident) and the final ballad, "Que dificil es" which really is a great song. It is necessary to emphasize the excellent performance of the musicians, from Gabriel Oliverio's voices (every time better) up to the marvellous guitar solos by Pablo Iacono , and the prominent debut of the new drummer, Ranz, that with his 21 years old is an interesting promise . Ending, for me a prominent disc inside the production of this 2008.
