Review
One of the finest Instrumental Doom/Stoner Metal bands from the underground scene Vinnum Sabbathi return with Intersatelital which focuses upon the following:
Back in 1985, two satellites (Morelos I & II) were put in orbit under the NASA missions STS-51-G and STS-61-B. These satellites became crucial for advancing communications in Mexican territory and were controlled and monitored by Mexican engineers in the heart of Mexico City.
Mission STS-61-B also featured the first-ever Mexican astronaut, Dr Rodolfo Neri, who set several experiments in orbit as well as taking photo documentation of the country from space, and, with all of this, Mexico entered a new era of technology and communications.
A sonic testament of the intricate human-machine comradeship from the last century.
The EP itself once again sees Vinnum Sabbathi explore the heaviest areas of Spaced Out Doom but always bringing a sense of harsh reality to the mix which allows their music to be classed as Science Fact rather than Science Fiction. This hugely talented collective delve into realistic possibilities and craft an entire WORLD full of intense melodies that holds the right amount of Doom, Sludge, Stoner and Psychedelic passages which has seen them as perhaps one of the most dominant and important Cosmic Doom bands within the underground scene.
The music is constantly evolving and changing the way of the underground Instrumental Rock/Metal music for the better as Vinnum Sabbathi injects a highly original way of playing synths, sound effects and sludgy rhythms into the greater Psychedelic Doom/Stoner Metal vortex. Intersatelital is a genuine work of art especially on the standout lengthier tracks of Sistema de Satélites Morelo and Rodolfo Neri Vela.
This release allows Vinnum Sabbathi to create a more reflective and stripped back sound which is also perhaps their most personal record to date with them focusing upon their beloved homeland of Mexico as its main focus.
Vinnum Sabbathi once again conjures up intense Psychedelic rhythms and Cosmic surroundings that’s fuelled by a highly intelligent use of modern day of Progressive Stoner Metal which is an absolute joy to listen to. The EP is superbly produced and despite its short running time offers more action packed moments than some full length albums I’ve heard recently.
After all is said and done, Intersatelital sees Vinnum Sabbathi at the top of their creative game and cement their reputation as one of the true greats of the underground scene.
