HACAVITZ – Metztli Obscura CD review


HACAVITZ – Metztli Obscura CD
Moribund Records

If there’s one nation that tends to get overlooked when it comes to the Black and Death genre extremes it’s Mexico. Although their numbers as far as insane sounding bands go is small, almost everyone is on par with their contemporaries in other countries. HACAVITZ is one of these overlooked bands who I first got into back in 2007 with their Katun release. This latest one is just as good. In fact Metztli Obscura will scorch your ass worse than a screaming sphincter burrito from a Mexican gut truck. Yes I had to use a cheesy Mexican cuisine reference but atleast I didn’t mention black beans because I hate black beans. They’re disgusting. I might like my metal black but not my food and in some circumstances neighbors as well. But anyway, Blackened Death Metal is on the menu here with HACAVITZ, aka: Antimo on guitar, bass, vocals and Oscar on drums. Metztli Obscura is a step forward as far as writing incredibility infectious songs, nine of which are on here. It will shake you BM foundation with it’s all out attack. This is just all out anger with a better production job than their last one. Along with being a great guitarist Antimo’s vocals are down right vicious whether he’s in growl mode or screaming. Lyrically most songs are sung in English and Spanish but when he starts singing in some Aztec language this get cryptic. What NILE is to ancient Egypt, this duo is to the ancient Aztec.
