California’s Xibalba has laid to rest their signature slow-paced Doomy/Sludge influenced hardcore sound in favor of a more straight forward Death Metal approach for their latest LP Tierra Y Libertad.
Zeroing in on one genre may sound like a step backwards for these guys, but traveling down the road previously paved by acts such as Bolt Thrower (as heavily hinted in the album art) or Entombed have molded and shaped Xibalba into a more ferocious, agile, and destructive beast than the creature found in Hasta La Muerte.
Tierra Y Libertad is a fast-paced death metal album that annihilates everything in its path.
