CRIATURA - TODAVIA. New album 2015

Todavía” includes 14 songs recorded in our rehearshall room between several months in 2014 and 2015. You'd be thinking it's been almost endless, but having two kids makes harder to match music and upbringing, specially when you're a mom. Jérome (Rouille) helped us out with vocals in three songs.
Mixed in “Montreal Studios” by Hans Krüger (www.montrealstudios.com).
Mastered in “Red & Black Studio” by Javier Orduña (www.residentadvisor.net/dj/javierorduna).
Artwork again by our artist and friend David Gorriz, “Ripoff” (www.davidgorriz.com).
This time, we released it on LP, CD and Cassette thanks to a bunch of labels located in Euskal Herria, Madrid, Asturies, Galiza, La Rioja and Germany.
Cd thanks to “DDT BANAKETAK”, “VICTIMS RECORDS” and “TOFU GUERRILLA”.
LP thanks to “DDT BANAKETAK”, “VICTIMS RECORDS”, “TOFU GUERRILLA”, “LA HUMANIDAD ES PLAGA”, “MUERTE A TIPO”, “POLITBURO FIASCO RECORDING”, “IN MY HEART EMPIRE” and “EL FARY ES DIOS”.
Cassette thanks to “PIFIA RECORDS”.
And now it's time to gild the pill, suck our own genitals and tell you this is our definite album, the one you must listen, sing, dance and bla, bla, bla... But to be honest, we're not that good at this, so we asked Mario “RUIDO” (http://xxruidoxx.blogspot.com.es/) to do it. Also "DDT BANAKETAK" did a good one for us. Here you have:
This is their fourth LP besides the demo, two 7" split ("Politburo" and "Disface") and a three way CD with their mates ("Vision Túnel" and "Le Fil d'Arianne"). The record is called "Todavía", 14 tracks wich are quite representative of their whole discography, combining speed and energy with melody and quiteness but still with the same rage. Hardcore-punk and impossible to catalogue sounds as a mark house. Definitely, a 100% "Criatura" sound, diverse, acute and committed. More than 15 years of "Criatura" and last longer...
Almost a dozen labels delivering several formats of this record which will be published in LP, CD and Cassette (The beloved lifelong tape).
"Criatura" presents their fourth LP (We almost can't mention the whole amount of their discography among splits, tapes, etc), which sounds quite polished and melodic than their last references. Anyway, you can realize they are "Criatura" from the beginning: melodic guitar riffs and the distinctive male/female vocals with Pelopo (Vocals in "Interlude") and Pepa (Vocals in "Visión Túnel"). The album got quick hard-core tunes as well as smoothness: post hard-core, emo... Pepa sometimes reminds me to "Visión Túnel" style. Vocals are better and better and you can notice that. Smart responsible lyrics. Out soon on CD and tape. Published and distributed by "DDT".
