DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Also available as a limited-edition gatefold Lp.
Otros Mundos is the second album of spacey hard psych from this Spanish band. I LOVED their last album Amor y Muerte en la Tercera Fase and it's mix of proggy 70's synthesizer music and loose, heavy acid metal. While this one continues in a similar direction, fusing more of that Sabbathy heaviness with dark space-prog that continues to remind me of Goblin and Zombi, the band goes even further out into prog territory on their follow-up. It's like hearing early Sabbath handling the soundtrack to an old Italian horror movie circa 1978. There's still plenty of heaviness in the riffs, though; with the lineup consisting of two-thirds of the mighty Spanish war-doom outfit Warachetype, it's unlikely that Cuzo will ever shed all of their metallic properties. It's their most atmospheric and exploratory music yet though, entirely instrumental and apparently almost completely improvised.
The album starts off launching into the cosmos on the back of rising spires of krautrock-style synthesizers and smeared backwards melodies, then kicks into the raw, rowdy stoner groove of "Astroratas" which finds itself wrapping some offbeat blooze-metal crunch around weird rhythmic lurch, kind of like Sabbath but locking into this counterintuitive groove, very prog, but then after a minute it changes into a pounding snare drum march and blasting Hawkwind effects before lurching into another heavy slo-mo garage stomp with killer wailing acid guitar. After that is "Del Mas Alla", a real fuzz-feast that sports some intense stratospheric wah guitar freak-out that morphs into soaring analogue synthesizers that are layered into lush harmonized waash of sound, all over serious polyrhythmic percussive thud. "Coche Imaginario" goes for a doom-laden space rock dirge where Cuzo lays down some smoking Zombi/Goblin-style synth creep, locking into a slow steady motorik groove that blasts onward through the night, later getting all wonky when the band slips into another one of their weird rhythmic breakdowns. Eventually, they re-emerge back into the sinister krautrock groove, and once again I have these vision of Black Sabbath jamming with Claudio Simonetti floating through my head.
That's followed by the upbeat fuzz rock of “Ni Vivos Ni Muertos”, and then it's on to the last two songs “Robots en Movimiento” and “Mutante Continuo”, which together make up the entire second half of the album. Both of 'em are massive cosmic doom instrumentals that feature slow, hypnotic winding bassinets, vast acid-soaked psych guitars, clusters of kosimiche effects and electronic shimmer. on both songs, the guitars break into fantastic harmonies, and there's a moment on “Mutante Continuo” where the band seems to be channeling Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine". There's lots of odd jazzy parts and rhythmic freak outs that come out of left field on the latter half of Otros Mundos, too.
The album is a solid second offering from Cuzo, definitely recommended to fans of the first, and fans of proggy, heavy psych bands like Los Natas, La Otracina, Earthless, Gnod, Viaje a 800, Mammatus, Beiruth, and Titan should all certainly look into the dark, spacey music of Otros Mundos. © CRUCIAL BLAST
