CABESTRO ¿Crónica de Sucesos? CD

Hailing from Catalonia, Cabestro is a devastating supergroup featuring veteran members of the Spanish underground with ties to bands like Foscor, Moksha, and Vórtice. Their debut full-length, ¿Crónica de Sucesos?, is a visceral explosion that merges the raw intensity of Grindcore and Crust-Punk with a dark, sludge-heavy undertone. Conceptually, the album serves as a grim and satirical audiovisual critique of España profunda, the putrid, rural, and most grotesque corners of Spanish social reality. Musically, it is a 22 minute assault of razor-sharp riffs, relentless percussion, and possessed vocals that fluctuate between feral screams and guttural barks. For those who appreciate the sonic violence of bands like Napalm Death or Rotten Sound, but with a unique, culturally rooted sense of macabre irony, this record is an essential piece of modern Spanish extremity.
