Review by progadicto

— First review of this album —

There is a vast number of bands from Northern Chile making interesting acts and Yav� is one of them.

Formed 'round 2010, Yav� is a regular number in many stages for many reasons, most of them stamped in their first release: risky and successful mixes of heavy metal and post-rock melacholic atmospheres which reminds some Irepress or Animals As Leaders acts, and raw but metaphoric lyrics talking about the madness of this actual brave new world. This mixture of different and opposite textures reaches some fine and enriched songs such as "La Histeria del Mundo", "M�dula" and "Elixir", maybe the three strongest pieces of this debut album.

Fans of post-metal will find in this album many great material to listen perhaps fans of more melodic post-rock a la Mogwai will find some interesting and atmospheric sections in this unusual but interesting experiment with lots of inffluences but with an own and particular sound...

Thanks to aapatsos for the artist addition.
