Another Made In Chile album for the #zot2016 showcase, featuring a record with sounds different from those of Chicos de Nazca, yet from a group that hails from the same scene.

Demonauta - Tierra del fuego (BYM).

Inspired by stoner rock and heavy-psych sounds, but also influenced by a more mainstream alternative rock component with hints of metal, here is 'Tierra del Fuego', the latest album from the Chilean band Demonauta, based in Santiago de Chile and still orbiting BYM Records. In 'Tierra del Fuego', you'll find more typically stoner moments like 'Into The Darkness', 'Sahara Trip', 'Astro II', and the eight-minute 'Psiconauta', alternating with tracks like 'Del Vendaval' and the mesmerizingly hypnotic 'Cosmos', which is entirely built on a powerful bass line; and the more institutional and melodic 'Venas de la Tierra' (the weakest moment of the album). Clearly recommended if you enjoy stoner psych and doom sounds. Otherwise, feel free to move along. The cover art is stunning.
