Los Natas‘ 2006 release “El Hombre Montana” [The Mountain Man], is an epic slice of doom-laden pie fresh from Argentina, as the first fuzz-a-licious track “El Bolsero” proudly testifies. Waves of riff lick at the shores of melody as the vocals dive in and out of the mix, quite delicately so for this style of music.
Around the halfway mark the guitars fuzz their way to a dirty lead lick that ties the song together like The Dude‘s rug. The drums tap a stacatto counterpart to the elegantly woven song, and before you’re ready, its over. “Amanacer Blanco“continues along a similar vein, with the guitar interplay weaving a Psychadelic soundscape deep in your frontal lobe, before “No Es Lo Mismo” hypnotises your head into a manic bobbing frenzy. The interplay between the drums, vocals and guitars [bass included] is in full magnificent stride from the get-go, bringing to mind Kyuss by way of the 1970’s. Indeed, Sabbath themselves would be proud of the of the sound.
The production job is really quite superb, effectively capturing all the elements of the Los Natas sound and bringing each instrument to the fore in turn. – Roadburn Magazine
