Mestis - Basal Ganglia EP (2012)

1. Te Mato 4:04

2. Semilla 2:53

3. Olvidala 2:33

4. Menta 5:01

5. Luz y Clelo 1:50

Javier Reyes is the man behind Mestis, probably best known for his work on Animals As Leaders or T.R.A.M. This is his solo adventure, and of corse you can imagine what to expect from this short ep. 5 songs of progressive soundscapes, always at the edge of jazz, fusion, or metal. Pure progressive inspiration.

Norska - Norska (2011)

1.Amnesia 05:40
2.Nobody One Knows 06:16
3.They Mostly Come at Night 13:02
4.Cholera 05:24
5.Two Coins For The Ferryman 09:41l

This album goes directly to the 2011´s top ten. Crushing sludge following the steps of Yob, but with a touch of progressive/post metal sonorities as bands as The Ocean or Burst.  Good cover, perfect production and a sonic wall that will blow your head up!
