The sound of a motor and the rifle guitar that eats for a while open the disc. Vulk is in a hurry to give the mug. They have not laid off their work since 2018 and have given a significant change in the aesthetic direction of the group. Vulk is not what he was.
The most important change is that of language. Because the new work is entirely in Basque, for the first time in the group’s journey. I do not like to place particular emphasis on the linguistic option. In this case, however, when they have moved away from mainstream circuits and put themselves in the face of the environment, closely, there is something else. In addition, they've made the best record ever.
Post punk or punk or rock. There is a need to define it. Heavy and light at once. It takes you to the earth by gravity. But it will take you to dance. As a boxer, Kerman Lejarraga uses his fists to move. Remember the sounds of English rock. Also those of Joseba and Iñigo Irazoka, producers of the beratarra Ibai Gogortza, master of sound.
If music were a knife, it could be Vulk. The wounded always remember the relationship between the knife and the scar. And we all have injuries. And that's why, indeed, Vulken's rhetoric is so rigorous. Because it calls you. You can't be discouraged because it will catch you.
But release after grabbing him. Because it offers many breaths and stops from one disc to another to reflect, but above all to come back with more strength. Cuffs are correct, but not heavy. They will mark your day to day: “A hammer in my hands / prepared to break everything / how much is worth/ all that I have built / the land that I rent / how much is worth vengeance”.
Paid tortures on the shoulders of the tabernacle. A self-referential militant waiting for the messianic mysticism of sacrifice.
“Vulk is not,” they say. Because what was Vulk was dead to create a new Vulk. But self-destruction is also self-affirmation. Because we won't build the new world with the materials of dreams, like in Paradise Cinema. Because the new world has to do with the remains of skyscrapers, garbage chains, communication companies and banking banquets. Destruction will be the cause of hope. Vulk does.
