Torso - Fosa Común (Hecatombe Records)

Men in Spain love to play grind even more than they love women! ;) Periodically I look through different music news from this country and I can say that over the past couple of years, the Spanish underground has enlarged with a plenty of new bands. And today we will listen to the debut album of a young Torso band. However traditionally at first we will look through the printed artwork. Hmm, except the passion to the extreme music Spaniards also like the theme of death... Just try to recall the works of such bands as Haemorrhage, Machetazo, Gruesome Stuff Relish etc. So here guys added a bit of classics... Perhaps someone will say that this art is boring and not interesting, but as for me this dude that ditches the corpses into one grave seems very cute. In the mass grave called Fosa Común you can find such elements as grindcore, death metal, hardcore punk. I can't say it about every band from sunny Spain, but based on what I heard before I can conclude that they have something in common. All of them have similar signature sound, just like with the Swedish scene... And the sound of Torso got this feature. By the way these guys very skillfully combine the above mentioned styles. Sound here, as it should be, is powerful, low and punchy... their singer also uses typical to Spanish death\grind vocals, his half-scream\half-growl fits very harmoniously into this bubbling and stinky mass. And the album ends with a cover on mighty Machetazo (which is played really good) ...
