The first time that heard this band was when I saw the live music video of “The Collective Calm in Mortal Oblivion”. I liked so much that I decide interview them. Here is the interview with Abnormality. You will know all about this band through Mallika Sundaramurthy, vocalist. By: Alejandro Pérez
Greetings to the members of Abnormality and be welcome to this Cuban rock magazine. For me is a big pleasure can do it this interview. To start. When and where arises the band? Who are their actually members? From where they proceed? Abnormality formed in 2005 in Massachusetts, USA. The lineup is myselfMallika Sundaramurthy (Vocals), Jay Blaisdell (Drums), Jeremy Henry (Guitar), Sam Kirsch (guitar), and Josh Staples (bass). We all originate from Massachusetts, though I myself have family ties to India. From the beginning of the band many members left the same and others entered. Why? We had a few lineup changes over the years. This is because as the band got bigger and more serious, some members weren’t able to commit the necessary time and energy, or sometimes we simply had creative differences. How many CD do you have made until now? And videos? We released our first demo in 2007, an EP “The Collective Calm in Mortal Oblivion” in 2010, the first full album “Contaminating the Hive Mind” in 2012, and our latest album “Mechanisms of Omniscience” in 2016. We have 3 feature music videos, “Mechanisms of Omniscience”, “Fabrication of the Enemy”, “Monarch Omega”, and also a live music video for “The Collective Calm in Mortal Oblivion”.
How Abnormality define their music? Brutal, technical, and atmospheric. Which the main influences of Abnormality have been? Some of our biggest influences are Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Hate Eternal, Origin, and Deeds of Flesh. Let’s focus on your last CD “Mechanisms of Omniscience” (2016). How many songs bring it? Thematic of the songs? Any video to promote the same? “Mechanisms of Omniscience” has 10 songs. We write about a wide range of subjects; about our personal experiences, and our outlook on the state of the US and the world. On this album we have a song about a black hole, a song about tripping on mushrooms, a few songs criticizing the government and the military industrial complex, and a song about the greed and corruption in the medical industry. Which are the advantages of being part of Metal Blade Records? We are very happy to be on such a well known and active label as Metal Blade. Being on the label has helped us to reach new audiences and spread our music farther. As band you have the opportunity to participate in many festivals and play a lot of concerts. Any festival or concert that you remember in particular? So far our favorite festival that we played was Neurotic Deathfest in the Netherlands. It was a huge indoor festival with 4,000 attendees. Thinks Abnormality that Internet is a good platform that helps to that many bands comes out? Or otherwise is a means that harm to this world?
I think the internet has done overall more good things than bad things for music. Bands are able to interact with their fans directly and quickly. It’s easy to discover new music. Fans are able to support bands directly as well. Our country was visited by many rock´s band. In 2005 came Audioslave, in 2008 came Sepultura. The last year came The Dead Daisies in February, CJ Ramone in August and ZZ Top on December. This year came The Rollings Stones. Have think Abnormality in come to Cuba any time now that we are neighbors? I don’t know when we will be able to, but of course, we would love to come to Cuba and play a show! Two last questions. How Abnormality see the future of the band? What Abnormality thinks about the future of the rock music in general? We want to continue to progress and create new music, and we want to tour to new places. We are hopeful about the future of rock and metal. It’s because of the fans that we are able to do what we do. As long as fans support rock and metal, those genres will thrive. Well, thanks Abnormality for your time and for this incredible opportunity. Before to finish, any words that Abnormality want to say to the Cuban people that love the rock. Thank for reading this interview, and thanks to anyone who has supported the band. Cheers!

Arrabio is a rock grouping that was founded in December of the 2001 in the city of Trinidad. Their music moves inside the Hardcore/Punk with a style and an own stamp that it has taken them to be presented in concerts, festivals and national and international events of great prestige. On the beginnings of this band, their trajectory and other questions comments us William Garcia, guitarist. By: Alejandro PĂŠrez
Greetings to the members of Arrabio and be welcome to this magazine. It is a pleasure to be able to carry out this interview. When does Arrabio arise and who are its current members? From where do you come? Arrabio arises in Trinidad of a called previous project Stress, their original members that continue in the band are this way Daimel Crow in the first floor and the voices and Douglas Brave guitar leader and choirs with IvĂĄn Days in the battery who was founder of the group and that he united again to the group it makes alone a couple of months besides William Garcia in the guitar. Why the name of Arrabio? It is always complicated to find a name mainly for any project looking for that the name has something to do for that reason with what you seek to make, the name Arrabio when we find it we think it was faithful to that that our serious music.
As I have understood, “Hecho en Trinidad� constitutes your first CD. Could you comment us something on the same one? Cover? How thematic they approach in the songs? Some audiovisual one that this CD accompanies? This is the first CD of Arrabio like well you say alone that the same one will leave in very little time in format of LP with the stamp ''Solidarity Rock Records''. The disk is as a dream come true because it was produced and engraving among friends after so many years and so many efforts and the sound that it was achieved in the same one is very good, very faithful to what we wanted, engraving in a completely direct way some topics were played a single time and they were this way other engravings they were played in two occasions but it is this way like it sounds the band in fact, it was recorded as if we were rehearsing or in a concert, alone the voices if they made the following day because there was not time we begin the recording in the afternoon amid a tremendous heat in Trinidad in a video room one afternoon anyone of summer. The songs of the disk speak of personal experiences, of the friends that have shared with us, of the things that happen day by day in our island and outside of her.
Which have the main influences of the band been? The main influences are the hardcore, and the punk we are not followers of the newest tendencies, we listen to Crossover, Thrash like same we made it in the
90 we would have to name many bands of many countries, because we listen music in Spanish, English but also in Portuguese and other languages. In the 2007 Arrabio it unites to the project Cuban Canadian ROCK SOLIDARY-SOLIDARITY ROCK, what has allowed them to carry out diverse tours, so much national as international. What advantages has it offered you to be part of this project? In what cities of Canada have you carried out concerts? With which bands have shared scenario? The 2007 with the emergence of Rock Solidary-Solidarity Rock many opportunities came as much for us as for another punk grouping in the center and other regions of the island. We have had the opportunity to be in two occasions rotating in Canada in the years 2012 and 2015, in the 2013 we participate in the festival of more important Hardcore of the world the Black and Blue Bowl in the city of New York invited by Madball and Agnostic Front. We also play in Milwaukee in United States and in Canada we have made it in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, and Winnipeg. Mainly this has given us the opportunity to know and to see the scene hardcore and international punk, because here that opportunity didn't exist before playing, to share a lot with groupings less than a grouping of the gender could travel, to make tours and concerts, in Cuba unfortunately much of scenes is spoken, of movement underground but it is known very little of how they work the same one because here fixed places don't exist where to make alone concerts the institutions of the state that we already know how they work, there are not radios dedicated to the rock single scarce programs that anything has to do with a scene they don't respond or they defend these topics because they are not of interest of those who have as arriving these levels of the state, there is not record independent, it is not necessary as making material promotional for the groupings, the groups don't have as making tours in short that it is very different everything and what we call scene here truly doesn't have anything to do with that that truly is a scene, for luck we have them to you that are those that yes they have been able to stay every year promoting the culture rock of the island but nobody better than you to count what every day passes to make possible the zines in the island. For that reason I want to thank to all those that are linked to the independent publications in all the corners of the island. In May of the 2013 you travel to New York, E.U; to be presented in the most important annual festival from Hardcore to world level. How much did this represent for the band? With which bands shared scenario in that festival? This festival was there the most important thing for us so many bands that we listen during so much time were and many others that we could see and to listen there, besides the public of the movement Hardcore that is only power to understand with them to be part of the same one. This is an experience that it
never forgets that it doesn't have comparison with anything that we experienced previously as band. There we saw and we knew, we had the opportunity to speak with musicians of groupings that are legendary, to listen their advice and what they said of Arrabio. Likewise it was brilliant that other people of the movement Hardcore linked to the festival came closer to us to congratulate us, the same thing that musicians of other groups. In this edition of the 2013 they were: Take a bath, Crown of Thornz, Madball, Judge, Kill Your Idols, Breakdown, Strife, Take Offense, District 9, among others. How is it seen the rock, and mainly the Hardcore that is made in Cuba, in the countries in those you have been presented? The music is an universal language it is it the art in general, serious but easy if they could understand our letters but in a same way they have other messages in its songs, our letters are full with codes that are part of our realities with which they don't have anything to see they don't have the smallest idea in the things that it happen us here of which speak, it doesn't care if we neither sang in English they could understand of what we truly speak, undoubtedly it would help us but the truth is that the music if it has been able to have acceptance. I think that that makes we neither are what somebody is expected when one speaks of Hardcore in a same way it has been well accepted, we even have people that have repeated in our concerts in different cities, in Canada when we returned last year people that had been already in the tour of the 2012, were we also have who write us to know when we will return to their cities in their countries go to see us again. How do you see the rock at the moment in Cuba? Do you believe that a censorship exists toward the same one, so much for part the main authorities like of the promotion means (newspaper, TV and radio)? I see it as always I have seen it in a same very bad way, I don't believe that these means are for anything a road in our favor in some moments I was surprised to see mainly to groups in the Cuban TV because it stops my pleasure anything they had to see the programs in which were but each who it
has their own bad habits and ways of to think or to be expressed. I say the same thing again I don't find it that this it is a means to be imposed like they made some groups, I don't believe that no type of acceptance is neither achieved I think that those that follow these goods are so pending to the TV. We have been interviewed by radios in different countries but they have always been radios with likeness to that we make, here we have also been interviewed in radios and TV but in programs also with which we have some bond type.
Which you think that it is the real paper of the Cuban Agency of the Rock: to help to develop to the movement of the Cuban rock or to be a "negative and corruptive instrument" that restricts the development, the evolution and the prestige won by the Cuban rock", as it denounce some rockers? Because the agency is I see we already know an instrument to help to the groupings that belong to its catalog that they are of the Habana in its great majority, what I believe in this respect it is that he has left the name very big but neither wait that this it is the solution to any problem like I said previously there are groups that belong everywhere at these levels and other they are simply making its things in its way at independent level that it doesn't mean in any measure that it are of less quality or thing that he finds. If we could make many more things in an independent way it would be much healthier for the movement, in different places because that that if this seen it is that neither
culture house, neither the rest of the institutions can help because they are not thought neither designed for that. As you know, after the reestablishment of the relationships between our country and the E.U, diverse bands have outlined their desire to come to play here. We did this way it in the 2015 with the different bands that were presented and but recently with the historical concert of The Rolling Stones in Havana. What opinion does it deserve you that our country has become a scenario more for these big presentations? How do you believe that this influences to our scene rockera? I believe that it would be brilliant that more groupings they come to play here, I went to see Audioslave, Sepultura and clear this Rolling Stones, but I have also seen other groupings that have come with the Brutal Fest, Solidary Rock and before also when the former Soviet Union, I believe that it is very good to be able to see groups of all the non alone levels the super bands because these also come from previous movements and there is a lot of quality in the entire world. What can we expect from Arrabio for this 2016 and for next years? We wait in what is of this 2016 it makes official the exit of our CD ''Hecho in Trinidad'', as well as to attend a festival to which have been invited in Sao Paulo, Brazil and to return to United States for a tour for several states. Well, thanks to Arrabio for this interview. Before finishing something that you want to say or to express to our community rockera. I wanted to thank them for the opportunity, to apologize for the delay in responding this interview. To wish them a lot of luck with everything, and God willing we can see each other in many more concerts.

Tears in Rain are a band of alternative rock coming from Spain. On the beginnings of this band, trajectory and other questions Antonio comments us, bass of the band. By: Alejandro Pérez
First that all greetings and be welcome to these pages of Metal for your Veins. For me it is a pleasure to be able to carry out this interview. To begin. For that the name of Tears in Rain? Some special meaning? Blade arises of the movie Runner and especially of the celebrated monologue where reference is made to"… those moments that will disappear as tears in the rain…". We find very philosophical and chord to the essence of the band. When and where the band arises? Who are their current members? The band is born in 2010 in Barcelona, Spain, of hand of Jimi, guitarist, vocalist and composer, and from then on they were passing several members until the incorporation from Diogo to the percussion in 2012 and Antonio to the bass and choirs in 2014. What bands have influenced in Tears in Rain when composing their songs? We have several influences and very diverse; in the beginnings the wave moved more for the music of those ' 60, ' 70 and ' 90, with a lot of Soul, Progressive and Alternative, and lately we have added to those influences you play Jazzeros and Electronic. As bands we could mention Tool, Pearl Jam, Colour Haze, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Radiohead, even classic composers as Debussy, Chopin…
How would you define you music? Evidently if we speak of labels we should speak of Alternative Rock in a wide sense, including the diverse influences that we have mentioned before, but perhaps the most important thing would be to say that we want to make free and original, pure music, without being limited neither subject to an idea or a mold, and we try to innovate in the sense of not to repeat to ourselves neither to already duplicate previously anything fact. How many CD do you have made up to now? How has it been the recording process and edition of the same ones? We have a called EP Promises published in 2012, the album Stop to Reach that finally it has left in 2015 and this 2015 have also published Everything Under Control, a direct one with topics of Stop to Reach and other new engravings in videotape, and that next to the history of the band we distribute in film/documentary form. For the recording of Promises the recording was simple, the topics were chosen that better they defined to the band and they were recorded in a study, all self produced. For Stop to Reach the thing was much more complicated, because when signing with a producer / label that promised us a lot of promotion and a tour plan, it was that at the end they didn't complete most of the contract, that which retarded the publication of the album more than one year, until we decide to break up with them, although at least we could get the master of the album and to publish it for ourselves. For the recording, Jimi, Diogo and Daniel (bass of the band up to 2014) they flew from Barcelona to the studies of the stamp in Bilbao, but the mixtures were in standby during more than one year, time during which Daniel abandoned the band and Antonio entered that recorded the bass from house to contribute his style and sound and to offer this way something again nearer to the sound than the band it was getting. Already in 2015, once published Stop to Reach (after an incredible odyssey with the producer that almost ends up with the band), we were a little disenchanted with all that happened and we decide to offer an album made by ourselves, without middlemen, to offer what we believe that it is the strong point of the band, the connection in direct and the dynamics that are only gotten recording together and not for hints and for separate as it usually happens in many productions in study. For them we rent a local and a recording technician, and
with the help of professional friends of the audiovisual world we are able before to capture everything in the documentary mentioned. Everything was DIY, us as technicians, mixture engineers, master, video linkers, managers, distributors‌ everything! However, we believe that the band needs a lot of support external professional, and at the moment we have been able to publish Stop to Reach in vinyl with a label of Berlin and to have promotion support in countries like England, Portugal and Brazil, which we wait that they give its fruits. Have you had the opportunity to participate at some time in some rock festival in their country or outside of this? With which bands have shared scenario? During this same last month of October we had the occasion of participating in a music festival Psycho in a near town to Barcelona, and the experience was quite good. We have shared scenario with groups of national fame as Sons of Meteora, We plows Impala, Blaze Out, Sounds of Death Valley... and some acquaintances internationally as The Gurus, Buddy Hemlock and The Soulbreaker Company. We have not had the opportunity to go to festivals outside of Spain, but there are desires. Future plans? To grow as band, to perfect our sound, to compose better topics, to get a stamp that it helps us in the recording of a next album and to leave Spain to a circuit of concerts in which our work is rewarded. If at some time you were given the opportunity to come to Cuba would you make it? Of course that we would make it, we would be charmed of going to any country to which could arrive, and Cuba is recognized by its high musical level. The first thing that we would make when arriving it would be to prove a good Cuban mojitos; -) Well, before finishing, something that you want to say to the followers of this magazine. That they really support to the music, made with emotion and feeling, since today in day many means are only centered in a music that is very aesthetic but that it lacks bottom, it is forgetting a little that the music also has a polemic and reactionary element, which seem to want to make us forget promoting clones and repetitions of the same thing, in all the goods. Therefore it is our work to make the underground that is the place to grow where they cook the true values of the future, committed and critical with the reality of these times so strange that they have played us to live.

ALEA JACT EST it is a band of Hardcore coming from France. With some years in scene I decided to interview them. Let us see that Olivier, guitarist of the alignment counts us. By: Alejandro PĂŠrez.
Greetings to the members of ALEA JACT EST and be welcome to this Cuban rock magazine. It is a pleasure to be able to interview them. To begin. Where and when the band arises? Who are their current members? Olivier: We have begun in 2006 in Toulouse (France), and alone we had member's change in 10 years, the current members are: Vincent (voices), Pierre (bass), Eric (drumm), Laurent & Olivier (guitars). Some change that has suffered the alignment in this whole time? We have begun with Julien to the guitar and he has left the band in 2010, Laurent plays with us from that time. How many CD do they have made up to now? And videos? A demo in 2007, a Split-up CD in 2008, 3 Albums in 2010, 2014, 2016 and we have I believe 5 videos. How would you define you music? Metal energetic hardcore! Which have the main influences of the band been? Strife of USA, New Ethics of Argentina, Terror of USA.
As band you have had the opportunity to carry out diverse tours and to carry out several concerts. Some tour or concert in particular that it has marked them? If all! We have carried out tours in Europe, Russia, Indonesia, Turkey, Morocco and every time it marks us, we learn of each tour, each country, of people that we find, that band has changed us a lot in 10 years, in well. How do you see in these moments the French scene? Some band that you could recommend us? Now it works very well the scene in France, we return here of 8 concerts and alone there was a date with few people, but a lot of people in all the other dates, very good atmosphere, the bands have a good level, the promoters makes good work, the clubs is of good quality, we love the scene here. And I recommend you REAL DEAL, in our record label, they belong to prostitute mother, my favorite band in France: https://www.facebook.com/RealDealhxc/?fref=ts Could you comment us something on USELESS PRIDE? What do it this label? Could you mention us some bands that integrate the catalog of USELESS? Yes, we have made our own label, we are this way 100 independent%, we make what we want, you can listen REAL DEAL (from France they sound as BACKTRACK or REAL TALK), THE GREAT DIVIDES (France, Modern hardcore), GET THE SHOT (Canada thrash hardcore), SPIRITS (USA straight edge old school hardcore), KIDS OF RAGE (Barcelona modern hardcore) and SEEKERS OF THE TRUTH (France, old school hardcore). All are very good boys, we work alone with friends or people that we love. As you know, here in our country it is carried out the noted international festival of rock Brutal Fest, where we have been able to see live to bands like Birds in Row and The Prestige. Will we be able to see you some day in Cuban lands? I want to answer that if but it costs a heap to go there and we don't have enough money to make it. The airplane notes are something as 1000 Eurus for person and we cannot pay so much. Do you know something of the scene of the Cuban hardcore? I know some people but I don't know any band, send me links to be able to listen, I want! What opinion do you deserve them the paper that it play the rock magazines when promoting to the rock bands (so much well-known as unknown)?
It depends on people, but there are many people that are interested with the present time of the scene rock, find me important to keep that activity! You can discover new bands or to keep an idea of what passes in the international scene without listening all the CDs.
The last June the band turned 10 years of having created. How did you celebrate these 10 years? How much do you believe that the compared band has evolved when they arose in the 2006? We have made a deprive yourself party with our friends and a video that it calls himself "DECEM" (ten in Latin) and a tour for France, a special show in October 29 in our city in a big room. What can we wait of ALEA JACTA EST for what is of 2016 and for next years? Tours and videos! Do we return to Asia next year, many shows in Europe, maybe Cuba who knows? Well, thanks to the whole band for this incredible opportunity. Before finishing something that you want to say to the lovers of the rock in Cuba and especially to those of the Hardcore. We don't know the country well but we know that it is difficult to find I dial there, to discharge music and everything because expensive hill to make things, some Cubans have told me all that, then I wish you the best for the future that everything is easier, the music is an incredible thing that doesn't have price. Thank you to you for the interview, to all the people that listen rock in Cuba, I hope we will be in direct some day. Links https://www.facebook.com/aleajactaest.eu

Megadeth “Dystopia” (From Internet) Megadeth is legend, and it is not necessary that we question ourselves the why. However, the same name that it changed the direction of the Metal already many years ago it is in red numbers, a small crisis that who is follower of listening the music of the good one of Mustaine, he will have been able to notice in the last years. The situation, in the discography plane, is furry. Already neither neither so at least for "Th1rt3en" (CD that, at least to a servant, I liked a lot), although we know all that the wave of dissatisfaction with regard to "Super Collider" was monstrous, and not for scarce reasons. But today we won't take out shames of the band, neither it lacks that it makes, because sir Dave wants to make us a kind present, one that adopts the form of which ch is the fifteenth study album under the somber look of Rattlehead, "Dystopia". Without complex that is worth, Dave Mustaine seeks to look for its followers offering, no more, no less, to compose the new topics after the aggressive and direct Thrash of the old times. He will have their higher or lower moments, but Dave knows well who its fanes is and what it is what is look for in a new CD of Megadeth. Such and as him same he said a while ago, people want to listen to speeds like "Devil's Island", Island" the harrowing Thrash of "Holy Wars", guitar cane of "Tornado of Souls", Souls" “Take no Prisoners", "Bad Omen", Omen" "Sep the World Afire"… that is what the follower of Megadeth wants. A light, a ray of hope, seems, because, to accompany this novelty, which provided d Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover left of the band, there for November of 2014, who they have been substituted by the guitarist of Angra, Kiko Loureiro, and the battery of Lamb of God, Chris Adler (this last one not in an official way). A lot of expectation expectation has run through the call of this new formation that, having already dedicated considerable you listen to this new work, I should say that it is the best thing that he/she had been able to him to happen to the band in these moments so crucial. Taken place by Dave Mustaine and Toby Wright (who has already worked with bands like Metallica, Alice in Chains or Korn), this CD adheres to the promises that it harbors to its backs, being a work more than potent and, mainly, I last as the Californian steel. Serve like warning the first triad of topics, beginning with "The Threat Real Is" whose introduction of oriental style puts us of I clot in the bases of a Thrash blow and technician, replete of murderous riffs, a Kiko Loureiro that doesn't take in glowing as soloist, an Adler that hits never eats the battery and an enormous Mustaine that, in spite of not singing like it was accustomed to, it intones its vocal chords with being able to and insistence. The homonymous topic, "Dystopia", keeps a high parallelism sm with regard to "Hangar 18",, in the sense that this also has a high melodic level, alone
virtuosos and some last minutes in those that an instrumental one is unchained that it imparts work division among guitars soloists and rhythmic bestial. And this it is the type of factors that was necessary to see in the current Megadeth. In the same way, "Fatal Illusion" is another terrible creature, which shows a replete introduction of desolation and rudeness, after which the great of Ellefson runs off with its bass that advances us a battle of guitars and battery hallucinating classics. The best in the topic is their own advance, how it picks up, little by little, the speed and aggressiveness that will end in total incineration. These first topics are not more than an incentive for the listener, in the good sense. Far from decaying in the following tracks, the certain thing is that the matter goes to better with each one than it happens. "Death From Within" picks up the best in the band, from that excellent evolution of the guitars until the catching choirs so characteristic in own compositions. Likewise, "Bullet to the Brain" a step goes further on, unwrapping Mustaine a more serious vocal range, exploding from inside of the metallic group when arriving the punkarra precedent refrain to the enormous bereavement of guitars between him and Kiko. Above all, the album will try to avoid the point of the lineality, because in the next topics the tonic will be different. Songs like "Post American World" welcomes the old one thematic of Megadeth of lonely and abandoned landscapes, as well as the slow and dark melodies (group that has been hallucinating). For the same direction advances "Poisonous Shadows" whose acoustic intro a teacher combination happens among riffs of an in agreement and combined progression until the satiety with some orchestral arrangements and feminine choirs of the hand of Ronn Huff who position has been made of endowing to the song of an impressive symphonic facet, getting, in spite of its daring person proposal, not to sing out of tune with the rest of the work. Their same end is also astonishing, a beautiful piano sound interpreted by Kiko Loureiro (not in vain it is part of one of the bands of more fruitful Power Metal of the current panorama). Another exceptional piece is "Conquer or Die", great instrumental that approaches as leaves waving to they are of the autumn wind, presenting an entire acoustic militia that affords the explosion of the guitars. That yes, hold on to strong with" Lying State", the hint more thrasher of the CD, a quick and devastating sonic bomb as her alone, perfectly figural in works like "Endgame" or "So Far, So Good, So‌ What"!. I Point out, also, their stupendous one alone of guitar, one of the best writings in many years, completely epic. Already near at the end, "The Emperor" counts as the most melodic topic, without lowering, that yes, a single apex of forcefulness, assembling an excellent one rhythmic had of the guitars that help to give him good coloring, and another single destroyer, magnificent stamp of the style "Rust in Peace." It puts an end the function to a remarkable cover of "Foreign Policy", song of the band Hardcore American Punk Fear.
Megadeth has played it to him with this new launching, with some good results that are worth its good applauses and its weight in gold, not alone to return its followers the mature, serious attitude and conspiranoica of the group, but to stay faithful to the structure and compositive bases of the classic trallazos of its remembered times, something, at the moment, annoyingly complicated. Mustaine made a promise, and it has completed it amply, not alone it has created a potent and hard work, but one that harbors the best compositions that Mustaine has written in many years. The alone ones return upward and flashing, the most epic melodies, the serious refrains‌ we go, this is music Megadeth to hundred percent. All that you could expect here from a disk of the evil skull will find it. We conclude with which it is an album fabulously produced, refined and worked. Let us remember, also that Megadeth plays a league inside its own parameters whose style is the Thrash, but not the same aberrant Thrash and I force of bands like Slayer or Kreator, neither so at least Metallica. The band of Mustaine has always maintained a unique and distinctive sound section, a contribution that he will defend to the maximum in this "Dystopia". We eulogize, of course, and as last preservative, the participation of Adler and Loureiro, without which this work would not sound such and like it is. And it is that this couple is a true blow of fresh air that was necessary a lot of to the band. I should recognize, nevertheless that didn't wait me so much of this fifteenth discographic album. I am glad to know that my expectations wandered in the remote distance. This yes that is a good example of how to be won the bread. That they know to well these four ferric horns for a complete and effective disk as ago a lot was not seen. Is not "Peace Sells, But Who's Buying"?, or a "Rust in Peace" (do I believe that nobody something would be expected from that magnitude to these heights), but, abiding to the situation and the reality, does "Dystopia" suppose an entire collection of the best points in its discography, from "Killing is my Business‌ And Business Is Good", "Countdown to Extinction" and "Youthanasia" until "The System Has Failed", "United Abominations� and, finally, "Endgame". Alone it is to see how the plot advances, so much in the next tour (in the one that the new formation this new LP will defend with all its artillery) like in future study projects.
