HEMISFERIO (Chile)

[Pavlos]

HEMISFERIO hab ich schon seit letztem Jahr auf dem Radar, und nun, da es via Heavy Chains Records den ersten physischen Tonträger der Chilenen zu erwerben gibt (der die drei bisher lediglich digital vorhandenen Lieder der Truppe beinhaltet), dachte ich mir, ich poste das hier mal. Da ich den Stoff ziemlich geil finde, und ich auch noch überzeugt bin, dass wir es hier mit einer DER interessantesten neuen Bands aus dem traditionellen Sektor zu tun haben, musste ein Band-Thread her. Nicht, dass solch geiler Scheiss in einem Sammel-Thread untergeht......auch wenn ich befürchte, dass die im Threadtitel erwähnten PONYSPHERE mit ihrem Thread mehr Klicks und Kommentare verbuchen werden.

Anyway.

Traditioneller Stahl mit herrlich abwechslungsreicher Gitarrenarbeit, check it out:

[Dr. Zoid]

Gefällt mir ausgezeichnet - wie eigentlich fast alles, wo Heavy Chains Records ihre Finger mit im Spiel haben - und wird bei nächster Gelegenheit definitiv verhaftet.

P.S.: Ganz mieser Trick mit dem Ponysphere-Namedropping im Threadtitel...

Musste sein, ansonsten schaut ja keiner rein....

[Clontarf]

Cooler Stoff!
Die Gitarren vor allem bei "La Cruz" sind ziemlich abgefahren...da steckt auf jeden Fall Potenzial drin...

[Hades]

Stinkt im Vergleich zu Ponysphere natürlich erwartungsgemäß ab.

Hier gibt es ein paar neue Nummern zu hören (live):

Gefällt mir wirklich gut. Das Debütalbum soll in early 2017 erscheinen.

Endlich ist es soweit, das Debüt erscheint demnächst über Dying Victims!!!

(Gibt es da schon ein konkretes Datum, Flo?)

Tolles Cover, if you ask me....

Ja Adam Burke haut einfach super Ware raus, echt stark.

Gerade wird am Layout gewerkelt, ich würde mal sagen, dass später Juni/Juli realistisch ist. Ein erster Song wird demnächste hochgeladen.

Ganz tolles Album.

Hier die Ankündigung, pre-order ist nun möglich:

DVP 121 Hemisferio – Anacronía CD

DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present HEMISFERIO’s highly anticipated debut album, Anacronía, on CD format.

Hailing from the cult metal hotbed of Chile, HEMISFERIO have been prodigiously perfecting their iron-clad craft since 2015. A couple singles kicked off their heavy metal march, soon followed by a split tape with Chilean comrades Asedio in 2016. With momentum building, those early singles found their way onto 7″ vinyl format, that same year, and then capped off by rough ‘n’ rowdy live album. Afterwards, vocalist Pedro Antonio departed and was replaced by Carlos Contador.

With that lineup firmly in place, HEMISFERIO make their grand entrance onto the worldwide stage with Anacronía. Suitably, this debut album encapsulates all the magic, mystery, and might of their aesthetic thus far, except rendered in rich, era-authentic analog. Indeed, HEMISFERIO create a truly ancient sound that encompasses many early ’80s metals: the NWOBHM taking creative flight, the first rustic rumblings of the contemporaneous US power metal scene, Teutonic metal burning brightly in the night before revving into thrash overdrive, and even Scandinavia’s oft-overlooked contribution to the heavy metal lexicon during this era. However, even in their native tongue, HEMISFERIO’s passion pours forth across each of these nine anthems in the making, with moody-yet-majestic solos flying fast and free, underpinned by a subtle yet no less dynamic rhythm section. And as prefaced by the preceding single from last year, Carlos Contador proves to be a commanding frontman, his tone and delivery bleeding the hard-fought/wrought pathos intrinsic to early, working-class metal.

Gaze into the crystal ball, raise thy sword, and rev that motorcycle, for HEMISFERIO have arrived with Anacronía! Suitably fantastical cover art by Adam Burke.

Comes with a sticker.
