Santiago’s review on each track of “Loneliness”

In this section, Santiago will give a brief explanation of the structure and musical ideas behind each track out of “Loneliness”.

1) ”The peace within loneliness”
Instrumental intro, by far the most challenging track to record.  Mood shifts, tempo changes and varied techniques combined to converge to the second part of the track.  The second section focuses on slowly developing harmonic transitions which turn “creepier” until leading onto the next song.

2) ”The radical cleansing”
This track is basically divided into 2 parts totally different one another, both from musical and sound perspectives.  The first one: a blow of thrash and death metal combined to keep you up and hooked up.  The second one: focused on more melodic and harmonic passages.

3) ”An infinite curse”
This track is the less melodic of all as it involves little sang sections compared to “growled” ones.  Additionally, it has “clean” obscure passages with harmonic dissonances to contribute to the overall darkness of the song.  One of the most head-banging darkness-tainted songs of the record.

4) “Delivering beasts”
Downflow clean arpeggios arrive at guitar melodies combined with bass arrangements.  Pure gain bursts to crack the sky with harmonic and octave dissonances.  Half tempo verse opens the door to blast beats and interludes for thrash lovers.  Verse repeats and leads onto the chorus and later, clean section.  Afterwards, comes an assorted variation of metal-focused eclectic riffs that pump up the energy.  Ending chorus leads to drum solo in a jazzy/Oriental groovy outro.

5) “This redundant humanity”
Track starts with a funky-driven introduction.  This is a track that’s characterised for not having many lyrics, which is balanced with different riffs and sections.  The first track recorded out of “Loneliness”, one of the most difficult ones especially the closing odd tempo oriental-in-style riff.

6) “To demonize the unknown”
Great peaceful intro followed by an unavoidable head-banger guitar-riff.  A burst of pure thrash-metal followed by a 4/4 simple yet catchy riff.  The verse repeats and then off to a death-metal non-melodic pre-solo with dive bar, lots of tremolos and heavy vibrato.  Chorus leads to main solo and back to the chorus before entering the melodic part of the track.  After this section, the track flows into a glorious riff of paired twinned guitar which later on concludes with a final old-school metal riff.

 7) “Smothered by this race”
Clean intro with a melody to remember.  Some Argentinean folklore polyrhythms lead to the verse.  No chorus for this one, just a flow of different sections which reminisce one another.  A sequence of heavy and catchy riffs lead onto a soothing, melodic interlude that turns creepier into a half tempo ending riff that comes accompanied by a natural rhythmic crescendo; ultimately, dissonances to wrap-up.

8) “Nature’s hatred”
The first section of this track focuses on establishing a conversation between guitar riffs which are antagonistic one another.  Kicks-off onto a blast-beat section which is followed by the chorus, a solo, and into a mellow, colourful section.  The best comes after a polymeter section combining all instrumentals interlude that grows into a technical passage which ultimately leads to the ending chorus.  The record concludes with a melodic only-guitar outro for your delight.
