A new review:
Un Festin Sagital - "Epitafio a la Permanencia"
(Beta-lactam Ring Records 2008, mt124)
From Aural Innovations 40 (September 2008)
The ghosts of RIO haunt the galvanizing debut of this Chilean ensemble who, like their forebears, mixes equal parts ideological commentary and sophisticated sonic experimentation. Combining the oppressive atmospheric chamber rock of Art Zoyd and Universe Zero with the Gotterdammerung operatic thunder of Magma and the incendiary folk-derived melodicism of Stormy Six and Samla Mammas Manna, Un Festin Sagital brew a potent elixir of sturm und drang that's best taken in small, concentrated doses. But listened to judiciously and with due restraint, the unnerving sound of UFS can serve as an antidote to the tedious pabulum that seems to be inundating the airwaves these days. "Epitafio al Delirio de la Permanencia," the album's sprawling opening track, is the cornerstone upon which this strange brew ferments, foams and ultimately spills out over your B & W speakers. Its stuttering rhythms, sudden tempo shifts and hellish vox Diablo warblings serve as a concise blueprint for the rest of the album. Fortunately, the group's political concerns and allegiances don't overwhelm and dilute the intensity of their musical aspirations-a fate that all too often befalls rock anarchists hellbent on preaching to the choir. There are even moments of relative "normalcy" on Epitafio a la Permanencia. The more traditionally structured "La Dignidad del Espiritu Bestia" is easily the album's most accessible track, its driving rhythm section and hard-edged guitar almost qualifying it as a lost King Crimson B-side or perhaps what Magma might have sounded like had Fripp been their guitarist. The group's impeccable musicianship will undoubtedly be enough to sustain them through many years and many more albums to come, though as with many outfits who labor under the RIO banner, they may fall on the battlefield as victims of their own musical iconoclasm. Either way, it'll be interesting to watch Un Festin Sagital's evolution through the wasteland of 21st century post rock.
Un Festín Sagital - Epitafio a la Permanencia [Beta-Lactam Ring Records - 2008]
Chilean project Un Festín Sagital offer here up their manic, cimatic and seriously mushed up third (but first readily available) album Epitafio a la Permanencia. And through out the albums life the band takes you on a bizarre muilt genre Rolla costa ride that conjures up the scope, invention and pure creative genius of the likes of Mr Bungle, Devil Doll.
We go from bizarre and pumped-up rock meets carnival music, to building spacey and creep synth lined Goblin type soundtrack prog, to bright harmoinc post-rock meets organ risers, down to somber church organ meets 80’s horror film harmonics up to playfully metal guitar and down into engine purr meets sudden struck pianos and avant jazz honks. And this is all with-in the first ten or so minutes of the opening track!. Really this is one hell of a twisting and turning ride that darts, jumps and speeds all over the place musically A track will start off one way & you can be damn sure it will have complexly changed with a few short minutes- yet it never sound mess or out of control. The 11 piece that brought this wonderfully mayhem to life utilize a mixture of; guitars, synth’s, bass, Calimbra, radio waves, Electro Acoustic elements, Hammond organ, violin, Vola, sax, cello, Didgeridoo, flute and Chilean vocals that go from chanted and ritual, to deranged, manic and playful to more rock based.
You can not pin down or classify Epitafio a la Permanencia at all sure there rock and prog elements here- but there also world elements, coral and soundtrack like interludes, electronic throb and pumps, string swoons, jazz freak-outs and all manner of musically genre pick ‘n’ mix. To try and divine or chart it anymore would be fertile you have to experience Epitafio a la Permanencia for your own- but act quick it’s only ltd to 400 copies!.
