Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/caballero-caballero-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Caballero – Caballero Review</a></p><p><i>By El Cuervo</i></p><p>Album concepts can be tricky territory. Especially those based on historical events where accuracy is a pre-requisite. Especially debut albums, where a band is also figuring out their sound. And especially those produced by guys from Finland about the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. The self-titled <em>Caballero</em> by <strong>Caballero</strong> is just such an album, representing an enthusiast’s exploration of warfare, death, and cult heavy metal bands from the 80s. Is it a match made in the thirteen heavens or in the Nine Hells?</p><p><strong>Caballero</strong> is the sort of band that I’d love to experience live. It’s easy to imagine they’d be loads of fun because their recording sounds splashy, energetic, and lively. <em>Caballero</em> executes this sound through a lo-fi approach to speedy heavy metal. It has a production aesthetic that evokes a serrated knife; the riffs cut with a sharp edge, but the overall package has an imperfect roughness. Robust guitars orient around headbangable grooves rather than masturbatory solos, and I enjoy the touches of speed metal when the rhythms shift up a gear; its theatricality belies skilled instrumentalists. The back halves on “Mortally Wounded, Counting the Galaxies” and “The Lord of the Day and the Winds” exemplify these elements, running through raucous leads and frantic energy. The music isn’t the best or most innovative heavy metal ever produced, but has grit and personality. <em>Caballero</em>’s 37-minute runtime passes rapidly.</p><p>Undermining these qualities, however, are the just-about-tolerable vocals. I admire the effort thrown into the half-sung and half-shouted style, but they rarely hit the notes or power they target. <strong>Caballero</strong> relies on reverb to confer a thicker tone and greater gravitas they would otherwise lack, but even these can’t overcome a majority that grounds a release that nearly takes flight into something special. If the guitars have an energizing effect, the vocals have the inverse effect. The singing actively detracts from passages like the first heavy part on “The Moor-Slayer”; a grinding, stomping lead is frustrated by shouts that sound out of key. And while I like the marching passage on “La Noche Triste,” especially the layer of shredding guitars, the harmonized chants are extraneous and weak. The vocals are an obvious instrumental weakness when compared with the sharp guitars.</p><p><em></em></p><p><em>Caballero</em> features a consistency that works in two ways. The first is how the band bridges the riffs and solos in smart ways. “Sorcery Above the Lake of the Water-Dog” is stuffed full of great leads that won’t just get you moving but are also surprisingly technical. The way this track transitions between passages belongs to a 4.0 album, especially as the solo grows naturally out of the noodling preceding lead. The second is a consistency that flows from songwriting that struggles to clearly distinguish tracks. Most unfold in a way that’s largely enjoyable, but they sound more like a collection of riffs stitched together than they do structured songs. This robs some of the satisfaction I typically glean through cohesion. Without strong vocals or vocal melodies, there isn’t a clear delineation between verses, choruses and tracks.</p><p>Some albums score in the 2.0-3.0 range because they’re middling releases that fail to stand out from the crowd. <strong>Caballero</strong> falls into this range because while they have obvious weaknesses, they also boast great advantages. <em>Caballero</em> is far from perfect, but its riffs and sheer entertainment value largely outweigh the imperfections. It’s a robust marker of a young band in ascendancy, so I’ll track their development with interest.</p><p></p> <p><strong>Rating</strong>: 3.0/5.0<br><strong>DR</strong>: 11 | <strong>Format Reviewed</strong>: 320 kbps MP3<br><strong>Label</strong>: <a href="https://www.gatesofhellrecords.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Gates of Hell Records</a><br><strong>Website</strong>: <a href="https://caballerometal.bandcamp.com/album/caballero" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">caballero.bandcamp.com</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide</strong>: March 7th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/30/" target="_blank">#30</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/caballero/" target="_blank">#Caballero</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/finnish-metal/" target="_blank">#FinnishMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/gates-of-hell-records/" target="_blank">#GatesOfHellRecords</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/heavy-metal/" target="_blank">#HeavyMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/mar25/" target="_blank">#Mar25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/speed-metal/" target="_blank">#SpeedMetal</a></p>

Angry Metal Guy<p><a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/hirax-faster-than-death-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Hirax – Faster than Death Review</a></p><p><i>By Dr. A.N. Grier</i></p><p><span class="">When <b>Hirax</b>’s newest record dropped, I thought, “These guys are still around?” That’s not me being a dick. They haven’t released a new album since 2014. I suppose that’s on par with the band considering they’ve been on and off since 1984—this year’s <i>Faster than Death</i> only being their sixth full-length release. With vocalist Katon W. de Pena being the only remaining original member of the band, it appears that once a record is complete, that lineup leaves, and the wait begins for a new one to pen another release. The same can be said for <i>Faster than Death</i>. Not only do we see a new lineup to support de Pena but a dedicated roster for live events. This is a shame because I feel the success of 2014’s <i>Immortal Legacy</i> was due to the crew’s performances and songwriting abilities. Because, believe it or not, <i>Immortal Legacy</i> is one of the band’s strongest releases. But <i>Faster than Death</i> proves that once <b>Hirax</b> gets onto something, they revert to their past and mess it up.</span></p><p><span class="">Case in point, this new record returns to the band’s days of yore where you can’t tell if a release is an EP or LP. Unlike the thirty-eight-minute <i>Immortal Legacy</i>—which provided plenty of breathing room to explore a riff or idea—<i>Faster than Death</i> lives up to its name with a nearly twenty-two-minute runtime. Not that I’m quite in a place to discover if I can die in that time, but I do know that my morning coffee shits take longer than it takes to listen to this record. With songs one to two minutes in length, even <b>Hirax</b>’s traditional speed-meets-thrash-meets-borderline-hardcore style struggles to provide a memorable and meaningful track. They were better at it in the olde days with <i>Raging Violence</i> and <i>Hate, Fear and Power</i>,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/hirax-faster-than-death-review/#fn-213141-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> but those who feel <b>Hirax</b> made a significant impact on the Bay Area scene are kidding themselves. That said, what they worked so hard for on <i>Immortal Legacy</i> is gone on <i>Faster than Death</i>.</span></p><p></p><p><span class="">“Drill into the Brain” kicks the album off with a standard <b>Hirax</b> thrash lick and de Pena’s classic cleaner vocal style that brings to mind the <b>Anthrax</b>es and <b>Metal Church</b>es of the scene. But it’s nothing more than a simple chorus and blistering solo in a one-minute expanse. So, naturally, I’m worried. Thankfully, there are some stellar tracks on <i>Faster than Death</i>, specifically “Drowned Bodies,” “Psychiatric Ward,” and “Revenant.” The first is a chugtastic piece with an <b>Anthrax</b>y riff and vocal performance. As the riff changes occur and the nifty blastbeats build the back half of the song back to Chugger Town, the band finds that raw intensity that makes their better songs so good. “Psychiatric Ward” is similar in approach but for all my disappointments with these shorter track lengths, it delivers the goods and brings some hefty shit to it’s mere minute-and-a-half runtime. “Revenant” is the longest track on the record and the most unique. Displaying some slick fretboard work and a sinister, eerie atmosphere, the track is the album’s pleasing black sheep—specifically when it ventures into <b>Testament</b>-like territories and the massive build to the end.</span></p><p></p><p><span class="">But that’s about all I can return to without getting annoyed. The opener flies by so fast that you can’t get a grip on what’s going on, “Armageddon” is forgettable, the title track is boring, and, while the closing “Worlds End” has its moments, the vocals feel uninspired and I’m already done with the album because of the closer’s predecessor. Why do you ask? Because it’s a re-recording of their 1985 classic, “Warlord’s Command.” The album is only nine tracks long. Did they really run out of ideas that require re-recording a song like “Warlord’s Command?” I have no idea but all it does here is disrupt the flow, cripple the closer—all for a heavier version of a track that few remember.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/hirax-faster-than-death-review/#fn-213141-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a></span></p><p><span class="">Outside the handful of songs that I enjoy, the only redeeming quality of <i>Faster than Death</i> is that it’s short and dynamic as fook. If it were rawer, the master’s openness would make it feel like it came from the ’80s. But that feeling doesn’t last long because <i>Faster than Death</i> is pretty one-dimensional. While their older material and even <i>Immortal Legacy</i> displayed some original guitar, bass, and drum work, <i>Faster than Death </i>is centered predominately on chugging trash riffs. It works with some of the stronger tracks, but others become predictable and begin to blend. I wanted to like this new release because the previous one felt like a step in the right direction. But now we are pulled back down the rungs, and I’m too tired to climb the latter again.</span></p> <p><strong>Rating:</strong> 2.0/5.0<br><strong>DR:</strong> 9 | <strong>Format Reviewed:</strong> 320 kb/s mp3<br><strong>Label:</strong> <a href="https://armageddonshop.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Armageddon Label</a> | <a href="https://armageddonlabel.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a><br><strong>Websites:</strong> <a href="https://hirax.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">hirax.bandcamp.com</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hiraxthrashmetal" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/hiraxthrashmetal</a><br><strong>Releases Worldwide:</strong> February 28th, 2025</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/20/" target="_blank">#20</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/2025/" target="_blank">#2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/american-metal/" target="_blank">#AmericanMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/anthrax/" target="_blank">#Anthrax</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/armageddon-label/" target="_blank">#ArmageddonLabel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/faster-than-death/" target="_blank">#FasterThanDeath</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/feb25/" target="_blank">#Feb25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/hirax/" target="_blank">#Hirax</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/metal-church/" target="_blank">#MetalChurch</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/review/" target="_blank">#Review</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/reviews/" target="_blank">#Reviews</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/speed-metal/" target="_blank">#SpeedMetal</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/testament/" target="_blank">#Testament</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/tag/thrash-metal/" target="_blank">#ThrashMetal</a></p>
