Release Notes:
The name Demonauta may not be one that youÆve seen before, understandable as
they are a Chilean Fuzz-Rock band û something the nation of Chile isnÆt exactly
known for û but by all means, these guys definitely know how to wield the power
of the riff. Caminando En La Luna, the trioÆs second full release, is a
comprehensive display of what stoner rock and groove has become. Even though the
band doesnÆt dare to stray very far from the archetypal sound of stoner / fuzz
rock, the Chilean group still manage to add in their own spice to create some
unique passages of music.
Standout performances from guitarist David are what really make this a solid
album. From beginning to end DavidÆs riffs deliver blow after blow of beefy
groove fuelled steeze and prove that these guys are the real fucking deal.
However, he isnÆt just a one trick pony; his wild leads add extra bursts of
liveliness onto what is already an electrifying musical experience. Conversely,
there are moments such as the interlude in Camaleon that dials back the pace of
the track, only to bust back into that colossal groove monster that drives the
rest of the album.
Of course, to bring forth such a huge amount of pounding groove, the rhythm
section has to pull through, and on this album they most definitely do.
Massively fuzzed out bass lines take the reins and provide some backbone to
those savage solos with some tasty beats to boot, albeit with some poorly mixed
high-hats. The second track of the album Hacia el 6 to Sol shows off this robust
rhythm section perfectly. With relentless and driving power coming from MiguelÆs
bass and AleÆs kit, this mammoth of a rhythm section sets this particular track
apart from the others, making it standout as something more than just a deluge
of riffs.
IÆm sure there are many people who have never even heard of Demonauta before,
but take a listen to this album and tell me this cornucopia of tasty Chilean
riffage isnÆt a great source of super groovy rock and roll.
