(For english version, please go below)ESPAÑOL:
Tras cinco discos editados y diez de trayectoria, la banda de Lima decide dar un “testimonio” de su carrera con este lanzamiento. Por ende tenemos dos temas nuevos grabados más temas de todos sus discos y otros de demos y compilaciones. “Antiguas Heridas” y “Preludio Del Fin” son los inéditos, el primero tiene un ambiente muy a lo Obituary y el segundo muchas variaciones de tiempo y un excelente uso de las dos voces por parte de Alejandro. “Neo-Ritual” está representado por “Príncipe De Los Dolidos” (Y esos riffs acelerados que aparecen sin aviso) y “Necedad Inquebrantable”. Le preceden dos temas EN VIVO (Lo pongo en mayúsculas ya que son tomas crudas sin mezclas ni sobregrabaciones) registrados en Zárate el 21 de Septiembre del 2005: “Tierra De Sueños Muertos” y “Visiones” con lo cual muestra a 1917 en las tablas sin las “trampas” habituales a las que se someten los temas de un concierto que se incluyen en un álbum. Dos bombazos, la viola atrona y la batería castiga sin piedad.
“Mercader De Voluntades” con su repiqueteo constante y “Piel De Martir, Carne De Asesino” son los incluídos que corresponden al CD “Visión”. Del compilado “Sudamérica Brutal 2” se incluye “Cuervo Sin Alas”, el cual tiene bastantes guiños al thrash metal. Del excelente “Génesis & Horror” dicen presente “Brotherhood Of Barbarism” y “Fatalidad”. Se incluye el tema “Sectarios Y Profetas” que fue incluído originalmente en el compilado NAHUEL III que se lanzó en el año 2001), con nuevamente mucho thrash amalgamado en el death metal característico de 1917. Y de sus primeros años, tenemos a “Redención” y "Encadenados Al Sufrimiento" (Del disco debut “Inti Huacay”) y a “Sombras De Lo Extremo”, tema extraído de su demo “Bienvenidos A La Nada” (1996) que ya presagiaba a una banda que iba a destacarse por su calidad.
“Testimonial” me dió la sensación de no ser el típico “grandes éxitos” sino un amigable paseo por los distintos momentos de la banda con el agregado de cosas puntuales (Recalco los dos temas en vivo como un cabal acierto en medio de tanta hipocresía en el tratamiento de este tipo de tomas). Por estas razones, celebro este “Testimonial”, que no puede faltar en la discoteca de un seguidor de 1917. Para quién no los escuchó es totalmente representativo de cada etapa y vale. El resultado es muy positivo y producto de un sonido que se niega a “no perseverar”
Calificación: 8/10
ENGLISH:
After the release of five albums and ten years later, the band from Lima (Province of Buenos Aires) with this CD decides to give a “testimony” of their career. We have two new songs plus tracks of each album, anothers taken from compilations and demos. “Antiguas Heridas” y “Preludio Del Fin” are the new ones, the first has a very Obituary-ish feeling, the second has a lot of tempo changes and an excellent use of the two types of voices by Alejandro (Guitar, vocals). “Neo-Ritual” is representated by “Príncipe De Los Dolidos” (And those very fast riffs that appears without permission) and “Necedad Inquebrantable”. There are two LIVE songs (The “capital letters” are premeditated because here we have raw takes without mixes or overdubs) recorded live in the city of Zarate, September 21th 2005.: “Tierra De Sueños Muertos” y “Visiones” shows 1917 on stage without the usual cheats that this kind of takes of a concert suffer when they are included on a CD. Two bombs dropped, the guitar unleashed heavy riffs and the drumming attacks without mercy.
“Mercader De Voluntades” with a constant hammering and “Piel De Martir, Carne De Asesino” are the songs included from the “Visión” CD. From the compilation “Sudamérica Brutal 2” we have “Cuervo Sin Alas”, with constant references to thrash metal sound. From the excellent “Génesis & Horror” say present “Brotherhood Of Barbarism” and “Fatalidad”. The song “Sectarios Y Profetas” was released originally on the compilation NAHUEL III during 2001, again thrash says present but mixed with the trademark death metal of 1917. From their early years are we have “Redención” and "Encadenados Al Sufrimiento" (From their first album “Inti Huacay”) and “Sombras De Lo Extremo”, and a track extracted from their demo “Bienvenidos A La Nada” (1996) that in that moment was a omen of a band that it will show a great quallity.
“Testimonial” give me the sensation of not being the traditional “Greatest Hits”, it is a friendly travel between the different moments of the band plus the addition of puntual things (I remark the two LIVE songs as a true “hit in the nail” in middle of such hipocrisy in the treatment of this kind of live takes). For this reasons, I cellebrate this “Testimonial”, that can not be absent on the collection of a 1917’s fan. For those who doesn’t listen anytime, this is totally representaitve of each momento of them and it counts. The final result is very positive and a product of a sound that refuse to no perseverate.
