Ictus - Compilation

 listen to Hambrientos De Un Sol Distinto by Ictus

Ictus (Myspace) was a Spanish crust band that piqued my interest in the genre altogether. combining melodic metal with hardcore punk structures and crust punk ethics, they sounded unlike anything ever before and inspired a whole new breed of bands to the genre, who have ever since tried to succeed at creating such a layered (which is also quite rare or extremely progressive for crust bands) yet harmonic sound. when you strip it down, this may just be some damn good and extremly (progressive-)political metalcore with some lengthy build-ups smoothly transcending into blast-beat metalpunk. hopping back and forth between high-pitched screams and guttural low belching, I probably couldn't understand a word even if I knew spanish, but I read the translations to these lyrics, somewhere sometime, and it was some tought-provoking excellence.
