Buio Mondo – Herederos De La Bestia (Original Soundtrack) Label: One Way Static Records – OWS23 Format: Vinyl, 10″, 33 ⅓ RPM, Album, Limited Edition, Red/ Black swirl Country: US Released: 26 Jan 2018 Style: Soundtrack
Herederos De La Bestia’ is documentary film about Álex de la Iglesia’s classic 1995 apocalypse-horror story ‘El Dia De La Bestia’ (The Day Of The Beast). More than two decades after its premiere, the movie continues to be THE great go-to example if you want to mix the most brutal fantastic with the Spanish tradition of the grotesque. Comprised of equal parts high-concept horror and scathing social satire (in the mode of the director’s peer and former collaborator Pedro Almodovar), this ambitious horror film has garnered a sizable cult following. It’s just impossible to imagine present-day Spanish cinema without it.
‘Herederos De La Bestia’ interviews the crew responsible for Álex de la Iglesia’s masterpiece and assesses its still relevant influence. Part of the official 2016 Sitges festival selection, this superb documentary is currently still being screened at festivals around the world.
It’s no surprise that the makers turned to the Spanish outfit ‘Buio Mondo’ to underscore their hard work. Buio Mondo is a project that pays tribute to the giallo and the slasher genres and is best known for their previous (and very successful) album ‘Italia Violenta’. Mixing wild metal riffs, powerfull electronics and dark brooding ‘Carpenter-esque’ synth atmospheres results in a nightmarish soundscape that will haunt you in your dreams.
Presented here is the COMPLETE & EXTENDED score to ‘Herederos De La Bestia’.
Available as a 10” vinyl edition limited to 333 units on classic black vinyl.
In Bolskan a conceptual work by Kazeria & Aphlar Label: Gradual Hate Records GH 129 CD Format: CD, EP, Limited Edition , Digifile Country: Spain Released: 2016 Style: Martial, Neoclassic, Dark Folk
Kazeria, the well known Martial / Neoclassical act from Argentina, presents its latest work: “In Bolskan”; an epic journey evoking the ancient past of northern Aragón, in the Kingdom of Spain. During a recent travel to that region, Kazeria conceived the album to express its impressions on archaic traditions and the great symbolic heritage found there.
The album was composed by the fruitful collaboration between Kazeria and Aphlar, a rustic and energetic neofolk act, also from Buenos Aires. The tracks deliver a sophisticated blend of ritual ambient; martial percussions (taken live from the traditional drummers of Huesca; the town once named Bolskan…) and a strong neofolk approach, due to Aphlar´s guitars and voice. These elements create an evocative atmosphere, dealing with pre-christian and medieval times.
To those familiar to the these styles and bands like Of The Wand and The Moon, Nebelung, Falkenstein, Raison D´etre, Apoptose or Ain Soph, they will find in “In Bolskan” a conceptual and very interesting album.

El álbum fue compuesto por la fructífera colaboración entre Kazeria y Aphlar, un rústico y enérgico proyecto neofolk de Buenos Aires. Las pistas ofrecen una sofisticada mezcla de ambient/ritual; percusiones marciales (tomadas en vivo de los tradicionales tamborileros de Huesca; la ciudad alguna vez llamada Bolskan…) y un fuerte enfoque neofolk debido a las guitarras y voz de Aphlar. Estos elementos crean una atmósfera evocadora, que trata de los tiempos pre-cristianos y medievales.
Para aquellos que están familiarizados con los estilos y bandas como Of The Wand and The Moon, Nebelung, Falkenstein, Raison D’être, Apoptose o Ain Soph, encontrarán en “In Bolskan” un álbum conceptual muy interesante.
