El camino silencioso - Tracklisting

El camino silencioso


Review


El camino silencioso is the debut single from Psych/Doom/Stoner Rockers Mientras las abejas duermen and with the band being from Spain, the vocals are sung in Spanish. Whilst I can’t comment what the lyrics mean, I could tell from watching the YouTube video that the band is closely connected or influenced by nature and using Google Translations, it advised the band’s name roughly translates as While The Bees Sleeps. Apologies if that’s wrong guys.



Anyway, back to the song. El camino silencioso is an eight minute plus track with the band exploring areas of Heavy Psych, Doom and Stoner Rock that is underpinned by emotionally charged vocals. The music itself is quite different in places with Mientras las abejas duermen playing a mixture of slow-to-mid paced passages before transforming into a fully fledged Sludge/Stoner Metal outfit where the music is heavier, aggressive and fast paced. 


There is a subtle emotional energy to the band’s music and overall performance where they venture into Post-Metal surroundings with small outbursts of Heavy Psychedelics keeping everything grounded. For their debut single the band managed to make me want to hear more from them in the near future. They’re planning to release their debut album in early 2026 and they’re off to a promising start with quite an uncompromising track when everything is said and done. 


Mientras las abejas duermen have my complete and undivided attention here. This is a great track for the band to introduce themselves to the Doom/Stoner Metal community.
