5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Spanish Metal Band, October 20, 2005

I lived in a pueblo called Eurovillas near Madrid, Spain and one day in the nearby village of Nuevo Baztan, someone told us there was going to be a concert by a rock band. We decided to check it out. That band was Obus and THEY ROCKED! I had no clue what they were singing about, but I don't listen to the lyrics anyway, so what I heard was a unique flavor with the "articulated vocal noises" as Zappa used to say.

This is the first album I bought by them and I liked it at first listen. Every song is great and the opener, in particular, has a Latin feel to it that I can't quite describe. It is metal, no doubt, but in a unique voice. Fortu Sanchez, their lead singer owned a bar in Eurovillas where my kids used to hang out and I got to meet him a few times. A really nice guy. A great song on the album, Dinero, as it turns out, is the song that Fortu hated! I guess he got sick of singing it all the time but the kids would tell him how much they liked it!

I used to listen to this album on the way to work each day and there is not a bad song. They all rock! I saw them in concert one more time and it just seemed much better to see them and be familiar with their music. They put on a great show too. In the nineties, my daughter saw Fortu on MTV during some special about Spain.

I guess Baron Rojo is the most internationally known metal band from Spain, but my vote is for Obus!

Highly recommended!

Another gem of an album by this powerful spanish band,this album is very much in the same vein of their first release PREPARATE.The music is as raw and in your face as on the first one(read my review) only maybe it lacks the surprise element that was so striking on the first one.Anyway a good buy if you already have their debut and want to go for more.
