The First Three Sins of Latinoamerica
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Xirrossix and their Latinoamerica album.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features discharge artistry of heavy metal riffage with barb-wire thrash attack shredding and raunchy bass riffs. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involve Latinoamerican raw and discharging vocals. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into a vase world of raw-fury drum patterns and beats.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Material and a release that’s pure old-school and underground as hell
Immediately the listener presses that play button, one is welcome to the opening track, Apocalyptic Discharge, which welcomes the listener’s ears with a discharge of distortion/raw, aggressive instrumentation of the guitar and drums.
Following close behind is a welcome of raw and discharging vocals -altogether unleashing this dirty-raw energy upon the listener’s ears throughout the whole release. One continues their journey with the second track, Tras La Barrera, and the remaining eight pieces…
Each piece/music utilises a raw and energetic sound attack that consists of punkish tempos, complex/ technicality artistry of heavy metal riffage/virtuoso (clean) solos/riffs and barb-wire thrash attack shredding, raunchy bass riffs, ear-battering of the drums. Non-clean vocals, which are sung in the band’s native tongue —thus creating this powerful, adrenaline, fuel-pumping/driven, headbanging material -where one will also find a brief moment of hearing an ancient wind flute whispering and spoken audio clip through track seven Latinoamerica.
At the same time, Latinoamerica delivers and provides the listener with a release that’s pure old-school and underground material. It also consists of production and sound bare-bones in distortion and dirty in sound, while the devilmanship is there and tight—playing as one unit.
Reaching the album’s last three tracks, the listener is welcome to three live and raw pieces.
The album comes to an end with the last three songs, Tras la barrera, Un mundo en marcas and Inédito II. Which provides the listener with live and raw pieces.
We want to give a shoutout to Xirrossix for letting us review their Latinoamerica album. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
The Last Three Sins
Let’s discuss the last three sins, our thoughts on Xirrossix and their Latinoamerica album.
The Fifth Sin, The Memorabilia: Is that for us, Xirrossix is worth a listen and should not be missed. It is for you if you love unpolished heavy/thrash and punk music. It is a heavy and headbanging delight when you smash that play button.
The Sixth Sin, The Artwork:
The artwork fits that Lintinoamerica vibe.
The Seventh Sin, Disrelish:
Nothing to disrelish within the musical spectrum of Xirrossix, and their album Latinoamerica.
