Human Plague - Y la muerte vendrá con el tiempo [2011]


This band is devastating. I think I'd describe them as a hardcore band with heavy influences from crust and a taste of screamo. It's pretty crusty, there's no doubt about that, but they take vocal styles and song structures from elsewhere. "Entre palabras olvidadas," for instance begins with a pretty screamo-esque cleaner jangle from the guitar, and the opening vocals also are reminiscent of the genre. Pretty quickly however, it becomes much more hardcore, d-beat and all, and even later we find ourselves in a really tense exchange of heavy rhythms and softer melodies that feels more crusty. Band members like to call it gordito trincado, which I think means something like "drunk fatty," but a bit more coloquial/vulgar I think. However you define the band, it's definitely really heavy. This is unfortunately the only full length these tapatíos left behind (they have a short EP that came out in 2010), but members did go on to form Bocanegra (on hiatus), and Malastare, both of which I will post about later. Human Plague is from Guadalajara, México.
