Matalobos are hailing from Mexico, this is their second studio opus out on Concreto Records. I listened and reviewed the record for this webzine, so here are my impressions.

Formed in 2014., Matalobos play an interesting mix of doom and melodic death metal. This is an interesting record to listen to. Why? Because when I saw that there are only three songs on, I thought that it´s going to be again one of those long and pretty boring funeral doom records. Now I am glad that I was wrong. “Of ghosts and yearning” starts as a typical doom song but evolves into excellent melodic death metal song, not unlike some European bands of that genre, which is no wonder since legendary Dan Swanö at Unisound did the mastering for this record. This is the longest song on the record but with three or four interesting parts in the song structure never gets boring. “In flesh engraved” is a beautiful, almost whole melodic death metal song with faster parts and energy that fills your body while listening. “La luz de dia muerte” is an atmospheric instrumental with trumpet adding to the atmosphere of some film noire in this song and it is awesome. Great record!

8,5/10
