KYUSS
"WELCOME TO THE SKY VALLEY"
Elektra Records
1994
Creo que sería un comentario justo decir que los amantes de la música son los amantes de la música que nadie realmente entiende. Sí, para los que empiezan en este campo de la música escuchan a Kyuss por primera vez, bien les puede sonar como otra banda de rock, pero lo que en realidad representan Kyuss a parte de ser la última gran banda de Rock, es que además convirtieron el Rock en un género totalmente nuevo, completamente dado de vuelta en torno a una sustancia ya conocida y explotada,
En sus diez años de vida más o menos, lograron un montón más que otros muchos. Tenían
ética, carisma y todo a su favor, pero las drogas, el alcohol y las riñas entre ellos les paso factura. Posiblemente esa es la gran fórmula
para equipararlos a una perfecta gran banda de rock, pero también llevarlos a la destrucción.
El
consumo de drogas y los sonidos de bajo como su sonido principal de guitarra mas un vocalista increíblemente talentoso (John García), eran una especie de cocktail de Black Sabbath, , combinaban todos estos
elementos para crear un potente brebaje alucinógeno en su máxima expresión. Una
banda que dominó el metal underground a finales de los 80 y mediados de los 90, y que representaban un lugar entre el rock 'n' roll, heavy metal y el death metal. Fueron acogidos por todos los géneros como parte de ellos aun yendo a contracorriente en cada uno de ellos, hicieron surgir de todos ellos un nuevo estilo llamado Stoner.
"Welcome
to Sky Valley" es posiblemente uno de los álbumes de Metal\Rock más
influyentes de todos los tiempos, escucharlo es drogarse sin tener malas consecuencias, fue lanzado en 1994 una época en que el grunge y el
metal industrial estaban en su punto más alto.
Se trata de diez temas comenzando
con un riff bastante sorprendentemente lento en "Gardenia",
proporcionando una increíble experiencia de lo que significa el Stoner, una canción que suena
como una improvisación de lo que viene a posterior con "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop", pero que en realidad no es
mas que un sueño de riffs de guitarras, básicamente es una introduccion a una banda diciéndote que
todavía pueden hacerse canciones increíbles con esencia Rock.
Pero
entonces, justo después del clímax, te sientes arrastrado por "Space Cadet" siete minutos de riffs acústicos que son simplemente
impresionantes para sentarse y escuchar. Rematando con Demon Cleaner, el himno del álbum y que termina por aturdirte.
La resta del álbum es mas relajado, pero a la
vez maravilloso donde continuamente late el sonido de Kyuss en cada
momento. Lo
principal de apreciar al escuchar Kyuss es que, a pesar de que han pasado años sus efectos hilarantes siguen igual. Cuando
uno escucha el disco, incluso sin tener en cuenta las carátulas o vídeos puedes imaginar que el término más apropiado
para Kyuss seria 'La música del desierto". Porque lo que realmente incorpora es la sensación de conducir sólo en coche en un descapotable por el desierto escuchando música, con una puesta de sol, en medio tierra de nadie, solo cáctus alrededor. El álbum crea su propio sentimiento personal y realmente lo separa de toda la competencia de su época.
I think that would be a fair comment to say that music lovers are lovers of music that nobody really understands. Yes, for those starting in the field of music they listen to Kyuss first well may sound like another rock band, but they really represent Kyuss to be part of the last great rock band, is also turned the Rock into a whole new genre, completely given back around a known substance and exploited.
In its ten years of more or less achieved a lot more than many others. They ethic, charisma and everything going for it, but drugs, alcohol and fights between them showed though. Perhaps that is the great formula for a perfect equate great rock band, but also bring them to destruction.
Drug use and the bass sounds like your main guitar sound plus an incredibly talented vocalist (John Garcia), were a kind of cocktail of Black Sabbath, combining all these elements to create a powerful hallucinogenic brew at its best. A band that dominated the metal underground in the late 80s and mid-90s, and represented a place in rock 'n' roll, heavy metal and death metal. They were welcomed by all genres as part of them even going against each of them, they all gave rise to a new style called Stoner.
"Welcome to Sky Valley" is possibly one of the albums of Metal \ Rock most influential of all time, listen to drug myself without bad consequences, was released in 1994, a time when grunge and industrial metal were at an high.
These ten songs beginning with a pretty surprisingly slow riff in "Gardenia", providing an amazing experience which means the Stoner, a song that sounds like an improvisation of what comes back with "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop" but in reality is nothing more than a dream of guitar riffs, is basically an introduction to a band that can still be telling incredible songs with substance Rock.But then, right after climax, you feel drawn by "Space Cadet" seven minutes of acoustic riffs that are simply breathtaking to sit and listen. Topped with Demon Cleaner, the anthem of the album and ends by aturdirte.
The rest of the album is more relaxed, yet wonderful place continually beats the sound of Kyuss at all times. The main thing to hear when you listen Kyuss is that, even though it's been years hilarious effects remain the same. When you hear the album, even without considering the covers or videos can imagine that the more appropriate term for serious Kyuss' Desert Music. "Because what is really incorporates only the feeling of driving a convertible car in the desert listening to music, with a sunset in the middle ground of anyone except cactus around. The album creates his own personal feelings and really sets it apart from all the competition of his era.
