Allegedly [IN MUTE] is the most extreme band from Spain, in which a female growls. At present we know that in the Metal world female with growled singing have made themselves (and for their bands) good reputation. Many of these types of female singers have such an aggressive and powerful scream and growling that it does not detract for the band, but on the contrary, it makes this band unique. And their vocals are equally with men’s in terms of power, brutality and monstrous-demonic emissions. I think that for a few, or maybe for a dozen years, female growling will be something common, because of the growing interest of women in this topic.

The material “Gea” is the second album of this formation. And the band was created in 2003 in Valencia and I immediately mention that the cover-art of this album was created by my countryman, Pole – Łukasz Jaszak.

And musically “Gea” is a very furious and dynamic material, very lively and specific, melodic, and even progressive and above all is aggressive and heavy, as have to be Melodic Death Metal, full of elaborate phrases and complex rhythms and of course full of furious vocals (growls and screams) .

The compositions are technical, ranging from the guitar’s riffs and ending in a variety of rhythms, kept in fast and very fast tempo, but still keeping this specific, energetic melody. There also are sometimes melodious dismissals, a bit climatic, maybe even melancholy, but the Death Metal’s approach to creating of arrangements dominates in this whole. As a consequence, the music literally rips out of the shoes like after a hit by a train.

Finally, the band offered METALLICA’s cover “Damage Inc.”, of course in the more brutal version, such Thrash Death Metal. This piece kicks you with double force.
