El Matadero by MONTENEGRO

released May 23, 2014

Reseñas:

El Humo Está en Foco (Argentina): "De esta manera lo que acá se conjuga para crear un nuevo plano, una instancia superadora, es la literatura, la historia y la música, un marco sumamente complejo y que realmente debe darle mucho orgullo al under argentino actual por tener a una banda que se la haya jugado por algo así."

Stoned Bunker (Argentina): "Ellos marcan un punto fuerte en la movida psicodélica y toman de la historia sus recursos para contar lo que sienten. No le erran porque se siente la bravura de la existencia cuando se lee la historia de los hombres. Eso es saber combinar historia y arte en un solo estamento de un solo saque. Es un gran disco y MONTENEGRO lo ha hecho de nuevo."

No Name (Rusia): "Guys growing as musicians and songwriters, this song is the proof of a promising debut work. The song continues to bring you on waves from "The Body Limits", in the second half of it we came to Kyuss-riffs with conquerors fighting their fight."

Ride With The Devil (Estados Unidos): "They go for a heavier, more doom/blues-styled approach, though the psychedelic influence remains a significant part of the music. After setting the mood with some leisurely bass grooving, they add the vocals, which create a very nice harmonization with the string tones and each other."

Metal Library (Rusia): "Подхватывая эстафету The Grand Astoria, Montenegro постепенно готовят слушателя психоделическими упражнениями, субъективно вызывающими ощущения из серии кастанедовских "я и мой друг галлюциногенный кактус". Эчеверриа – не самый известный в России писатель, поэтому не возьмусь пока даже предугадать, о чём в нём идёт речь (видимо, придётся писать музыкантам), но первая часть композиции, мистическая и мечтательная, со временем уступает грохочущему stoner на весьма жёсткой основе."

No Clean Singing (Estados Unidos): "...Montenegro took part in split-album with Russian psychedelic band The Grand Astoria that reaches new heights in their explorations."

Psychotropic Zone (Finlandia): "It's good to see that there is at least some kind of psych/stoner underground in Buenos Aires at the moment."

ProgWereld (Holanda): "Twee bands die geografisch zo’n beetje bijna tegenpolen zijn passen muzikaal wonderwel bij elkaar in hun mix van psychedelische stonerrock met invloeden van prog en doom en een voorzichtige flirt met avant-garde. De opzet van een splitalbum met zijn twee lange nummers is erg boeiend en zal niet langer meer stof happen op mijn bureau."

Progressor (Uzbekistan): "...they add in a distinctly South-American sounding roots-oriented intermission, and gives a slight tip of the hat in the direction of the classic Black Sabbath sound before they conclude as well."

Zeitgeist (Estados Unidos): "Both bands bring their A game to this and if you’ve got the slightest interest in looking for some unusual vibes and grooves then this is definitely somewhere you should be visiting."

Music in Belgium (Bélgica): "Au final les deux compositions se ressemblent dans cette volonté, de mélanger anarchiquement divers genres musicaux, tout en conservant en ligne de mire le souhait de rester dans le psychédélisme!"
