Buzzard (Doom Folk) - "Doom Folk" album review by Obstinato / _nsigned.com

"A band that is undoubtedly heir to Black Sabbath, combining elements of 70s heavy metal and hard rock. They feature slow-paced rhythms accompanied by sounds and melodies worthy of legends like *Blue Öyster Cult or Steppenwolf, all while steering folk music into a unique, atmospheric direction. It is a darkness for the soul and spirit—not one that unsettles, but rather one that fuels us with high-octane energy. They are among the best and freshest acts to emerge in the doom metal scene in recent times. I discovered and supported them a while back via Bandcamp, and I strongly urge you to check them out—especially if you are in a position to support this great band.

What would be the result of answering the question the streaming platform jokes about: "What would happen if Dylan listened to Black Sabbath and read Lovecraft?". The result is that the ironic question ends up answering itself, functioning as a rhetorical question. For the prodigal son born of that hypothetical scenario is, quite evidently, the one right before your senses: Buzzard.

"Death Metal in America" or "Gods of Death" are examples about biggest and greatest compositions and music—call it Americana Rock or Doom Folk.

And speaking of gods, myths, and legends—bear in mind that they can be a blessing or quite the opposite. Regarding the latter, the perspective is far more detached and agnostic, and even critical of religions—criticism that extends to the very origins of the myths themselves.

"All Things Are Full of Ghosts" is another of the standout tracks on this exceptional "Doom Folk" album; it serves as a perfect finale—infused with sarcastic humor or biting criticism when called for—and is simply brilliant." By Obstinato / _nsigned.com.

ERROR DE PARALAJE - "Imagen Latente" reviewed by Spiritflesh / _Nsigned.com


"Well, I have to say I feel very comfortable reviewing the album Imagen latente. It is music in Spanish, my native language, and in a style that I listened to extensively during my early years of musical development: post punk.

The album opens with a fantastic track, A Veces Llueve, which almost immediately reminded me of Alaska y Los Pegamoides, one of the fundamental bands of La Movida, the countercultural movement that emerged during Spain's transition to democracy. I feel there is a lot of Olvido Gara in the singer of ERROR DE PARALAJE, as well as in the 80s sound that characterized many of the bands from that era.

As the album progresses, this connection with Spanish post punk, and punk as a whole, becomes even stronger. I feel that this band's sound could hardly have emerged anywhere other than Spain. Their Iberian identity comes through in every aspect of their music. I found this incredibly refreshing, since it is something that happens less and less in today's hyperconnected world, where the local eventually dissolves into the global.

Another track I really enjoyed is Nada, with lyrics that sit somewhere between anhedonia and nihilism, while at the same time being incredibly fun and danceable. I think that also applies perfectly to the entire album. I am sure you will have a great time listening to it from beginning to end, dancing all the way through.

As an Argentine musician who loves Spanish post punk, and who also lives in Asturias, Spain, I have to say that this band from Granada has truly reached my heart. This is a highly recommended album. I will definitely be coming back to it, and I hope I get the chance to see them live one of these days."

Viernes 7 de agosto ¡Black Friday por tiempo indeterminado, hasta acabar las ofertas o existencias!

 


Bandcamp Fridays began in March of 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic when the shuttering of venues led to a loss of vital tour revenue for artists. Since then, Bandcamp Fridays—on which we waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists & labels—has resulted in millions of fans paying over $120 million directly to labels and musicians they love. In addition to helping artists pay the rent, or fund album recordings and tours, Bandcamp Fridays have also become a beacon for artists and record labels looking to raise awareness for causes or raise money for charities.

The next Bandcamp Friday of 2026 will be this Friday, May 1st. You can help us spread the word by downloading these handy social assets.

And we’re happy to announce that Bandcamp Fridays will be continuing in 2026! Find the dates below, and mark your calendars:

  • August 7th
  • September 4th
  • October 2nd
  • November 6th
  • December 4th

Thanks for your continued support of independent music and the people who make it.
