4 years later and I still believe that this their best release and one of the best doomdeath metal album. The gloomy vibe through the songs is juste amazing.

'Deep-Seeded Hope Avant Garde' is almost a perfect song

It's been a few years and I still wonder: what the hell is that thing on the cover?

One of the best doom albums of the past 10 years could use a bump.

Crazy how well the title fits - something about this album (probably the expansive guitar sound) always calls water to mind.

Not to sound ignorant, but out of curiosity, is there anything about the sound that is, for you, at least, Chilean?

Or a bit broader, is there a way to capture the sound of a nationality in any capacity (outside of historical "folk" music)?

nah chilean influences don't appear here, it's just that I'm pretty sure (as in 99.9% sure) of what places they've been influenced by, having been there and all. There's some beautiful places in here, even if they're not fancy or anything. The ocean, the forests, the piers, the seemingly infinite highways connecting every region...

Fuck, highways.

I've always been particularly drawn to the idea of the road (coming from a perspective entirely Middle American, it's really the only possible representation of possibility, change, what-have-you as a metaphorical precept for even a hope of change, or, more directly, shifting fucking scenery), but it's interesting you mention that one specifically, because I've always found it entirely applicable to the sound of the music. Never knew they were Chilean, but perhaps even from just my own experience jamming this down the highway with the windows down, it really grabs. I wish more albums were as transporting as this one.

Chile is pretty much just one long strip of land, so if you want to go anywhere, you have to visit every city in between, and spend a lot of time on the highway, mountains one way, the ocean on the other side, just watching all kinds of places, climates and lives



Valparaiso is close to Santiago, the city Mar de Grises formed
