Madremuerte is a good example of record that it is hardly possible to describe in words. The richness of detail, the progression of sound with the various influences makes any commentary only the beginning of the understanding of this beautiful and morbid work. Before speaking about sonority, I emphasize the graphic work that is excellent, the version that I have in hand is the Russian, in which comes with an extra booklet with all the lyrics in English (being in the main booklet the Spanish that is executed).

Speaking about sonority, to classify the Psicorragia only of doom metal is to greatly reduce a great work in just two words. All tracks without exception have their own characteristics. There's no way I can not highlight En las Hordas de Tanatos, a true epic of more than 8 minutes, with perfect instrumental work, changes drastically and has a refrain as a splendid chorus. Cuando Ellos Vuelven is another phenomenal track, the keyboard creates a morbid climate, the Italian Abysmal Grief has this line, so you will know in what I'm talking about. Mons Tenebrarum is the track that has the shortest lyric, but perhaps it is the one that has the most detail, has even an Egyptian sound, passes to a macabre climate, in addition to the changes in progress.

Penitencia ends the record with a melancholic beginning, changing to an aggressive sound and a narration that soon changes to a loud and powerful sonority. Altogether there are 8 sounds, that it becomes extremely difficult to comment one by one, mainly by the singular characteristic of each one of them. For those who still do not know this work, I say that they are losing a unique work.
