Dies Irae
Mexico has had a pretty healthy, if not well-known, metal scene
for a number of years, but Dies Irae is the first Mexican band to
be featured on these pages
(
Brujeria doesn't count!).
Formed back in 1991, they released two similarly-styled
albums, the latter of which was recorded in Gothenberg, Sweden,
by the well-respected producer Fredrik Nordstrom.
And Gothenberg is the key phrase here, as Dies Irae, despite hailing
from another continent altogether, has a classic Swedish melodic
death metal style in the
In Flames/
Dark Tranquillity
mold.
There's some fine musicianship here (bassist Carlos Orozco excels),
and the execution is right on the mark --
those into the melodeth field should like these guys.
Note: no relation to the Polish band
Dies Irae.
