Description
How had we not discovered Caballo Muerte sooner? Their crushing, furious sound and the confidence with which they delivered it made us think they had been around for ages—yet nothing could be further from the truth. It was in 2023, in Vitoria-Gasteiz, that they began blending the things they were passionate about as a band: distortion and noise, post-punk leaning toward danceable rhythms, industrial music…
And so the fall of 2024 arrived, when they performed live in the Errekaleor free neighborhood. A first for them, they repeated it on different stages while recording
From this emerge the seven songs that reveal Caballo Muerte in the form of an album. A debut that somehow invites you to listen to it again and again. For one simple reason: they reflect you. Because life is a succession of emotions that we struggle to recognize. Because we don’t know what’s happening to us, because we don’t want to understand it, because we deny our reality…
Song by song, Caballo Muerte explores different emotional processes, reflected in their lyrics and the way they experiment with their oppressive sound. The need to express grief in the form of beats of suppressed rage, clashing melodies, explosions of doom in their song about depression, the violence of an ode to anxiety…
The result is *Caballo Muerte* (Aloud Music / Producciones Tudancas / Cosmic Tentacles, 2025), a work so personal that it allows itself to be guided by references as diverse as Lorca and Pizarnik.
