Que bueno es escuchar bandas recrear "los viejos sonidos" de la vieja escuela. Jamás me cansan cuando lo hacen con el nivel y solvencia de Cendra. Trío oriundo de Barcelona, tienen la premisa de tocar bien guarro y crudo como si se juntaran Venom con Motörhead más cosas de thrash metal y punk. Y todo en esa coctelera queda genial. Once temas en casi media hora, una referencia puede ser el Toxic Holocaust más reventado pero Cendra tampoco es eso estrictamente. Se me hace que en medio de todas estas influencias mencionadas - sin lugar a dudas inspiración para dar vida a los temas - largan todo intensamente y les sale más que bien. El mérito de este CD es que es vicioso. Si te gusta toda esta mano dificilmente le des "stop" hasta en la primera pasada. Dificil destacar un tema en un trabajo tan parejo, eficiente, pesado y callejero. ¿Que estás esperando si te gustan las bandas arriba mencionadas?. Gratísima sorpresa, y otra vez un nuevo acierto en las ediciones de XtreemMusic (Y van).

Dave Rotten della Xtreem Music, o meglio conosciuto come il singer degli spagnoli Avulsed, è uno che ha fiuto per le giovani realtà che si nutrono d'ogni sorta di putridume; ecco perché ha pensato bene di mettere sotto contratto i catalani CENDRA, giunti al loro terzo disco (il secondo per la label succitata). Questi tre metallari, vogliono deviare da qualsiasi distrazione per seguire il sentiero funesto e sterrato già calcato da tanti dannati dediti al thrash/black metal, quello che attinge carburante dal serbatoio del punk d'annata. E' l'ennesima formazione europea che fa della sua proposta grezza e maleodorante il suo trademark. Da ciò si può capire come ancora oggi ci siano musicisti testardi e decisi a ripetere le gesta della vecchia scuola. Nella storia della musica estrema ci sono sempre stati i gruppi che hanno eretto le fondamenta, e altri che, come i Cendra, continuano a fare un lavoro discreto costruendo al di sopra di quelle strutture immuni da corrosione. Metal Punk Never Dies.

Cendra are a band from Spain that has been featured before in this zine and plays a mixture of black metal, thrash and crust punk and this is a review of their 2016 album "Metal Punk" which was released by Xtreem Music.

Dark synth sounds start off the album along with some melodic guitar riffing in the background before going into more of a heavier blackened thrash metal direction that also utilizes a great amount of grim black metal screams while the guitars also make a great use of tremolo picking while also mixing in elements of crust punk.

All of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them while the solos and leads bring in an early 80's metal punk feeling and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard and death metal growls can also be heard in certain sections of the recording while some of the riffs and leads also add in a small amount of melody and some of the songs bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the whole album also remains very heavy from beginning to ending of the recording.

Cendra creates another recording that remains true to the blackened thrash and crust punk mixture of previous recordings and creating a very heavy, and aggressive old school album, the production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover misanthropy, nihilism and hatred themes along with the songs also being written in a mixture of English and Spanish.

In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Cendra and if you are a fan of black metal, thrash and crust punk, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Maniac Homicida" "Reserreccio" "Metal Punk" and "Sense Objectius".

Another year and another early release from Catalan punks Cendra. Their third release, Metal Punk, is a departure from their previous works in the world of black metal punk, expanding on the lengtheir, black metal-influenced tracks from their previous release, 666 Bastards. Nonetheless it is a ripping affair, maintaining most of the aggression while expanding their sound.

Cendra is certainly maturing while maintaing their roots–a proper evolution for a metal band. Still, the evolution here puts Cendra in a more methodological, contemplative black metal territory. Strange enough saying that for a punk album, but there are riff breaks where the guitar takes a more longing, empty feel that one would find in black metal, albeit done with aggressive manuevering. The repetition found in both punk and black metal is blended well together here–effective in both drawing in the listener and getting them stuck in a trance, albeit with more of an attitude towards headbanging and slamdancing than to introspective consideration.

While tracks like “Cementiri rocker” and “Castell okupat” were a bit more clunky on the previous release, the songs here have gotten shorter (nothing over five minutes) but they feel far more mature and focused than Cendra was previously. Tracks like “Maniac homicida” and “Sense Objectius” maintain a more focused form of writing, playing around with riffs rather than driving for immediate sensations of fist-pumping punk glory.

This approach of course comes with the advent of the lacking in much stronger single tracks that act as firestarters. “TU-PA-TU-PA!!!” and the title track fill this void in some sense, but the tracks lacks any “Tot es una porqueria” and “666 Bastards” from the previous album. This is definitely lacking and feels left out, given that the riff writing still maintains a sense of aggression and power. The style of the more tremolo speed carries over into these seemingly short songs and takes away from their power a bit. The production itself feels similar, but a little less raw and more streamlined than before. Not necessarily a massive detriment but enough that makes one crave a bit more grit.

Cendra has produced another worthy affair with ups and downs, and it will definitely show that the band is maturing in some way. The fewer of direct, slamdance worthy tracks may be a disappointment but the album proves to be an interesting affair worthy of people’s attention.

Utannonserar man att man spelar en blandning av punk och black metal då förs åtminstone mina tankar åt finska Impaled Nazarene. Det är det dock inte spanska Cendra ger oss. Det är mer Watain som skoningslöst slår emot trumhinnorna. Motörhead sväng och reverb på sången. Hur kan man inte gilla detta?

Detta är trions tredje album sedan 2013 och jag inser nu att jag borde vara mycket mer observant på musik utanför Norge och Sverige. Så här ska det låta, precis så här. Skit samma om mina språkkunskaper är näst intill noll, rösten låter så rätt. Att beskåda det här bandet live måste vara en åktur utan dess like. Man kan se kroppsdelar flyga all världens väg medans Cendra står med armarna i kors och hånler åt förödelsen.

11 spår och under halvtimmen lång. Det kan kännas kort men inte när låtarna är så här röjiga. Man sätter spelaren på replay direkt och lutar sig tillbaka för ännu en åktur på Cendra bergochdalbanan. Gillar man black metal som doftar Motörhead och Sodom med inslag av Watain så måste, MÅSTE, ni kolla upp Cendra. Nu ska jag knäppa en öl till och lyssna på låten ”Antisocial” igen. Fan vad glad man kan bli på en söndag kväll!

Voy a decir algo completamente irresponsable: si esta formación fuese canadiense, sueca o usaca… le estarían disputando el trono del Metal Punk a MIDNIGHT o TOXIC HOLOCAUST, y me atrevería a decir que se lo estarían ganando, no lo son, y eso es algo contra lo que, me temo, que van a tener que luchar…

Tercer larga duración de estos salvajes catalanes, lo mismo pero mucho mejor que su anterior “666 Bastards”. Música intuitiva, salvaje, primaria y visceral, donde el Black Metal de herencia DARKTHRONE, el Thrash genético y el Punk mas sanguíneo se unen para conspirar contra un mercado lleno de basura mainstream, asepsia y academias; CENDRA es ese punto donde la 77´Punk y la NWOBHM llegaron a la entente en la que fueron procreados SODOM, ONSLAUGHT y DISCHARGE. Talento y furia en su estado más puro, temas que funcionan con gasolina y testosterona a 1000km/h, canciones llenas de rabia y odio, diseñadas por la fuerza bruta del carisma en estado esencial e inmersas en una producción rotunda, oscura, brutal… mucho mejor que su anterior trabajo.

Es de aquellos trabajos que aprecias mil reminiscencias pero no te decantas por ninguna a la hora de describir su sonido. Se presentan tres sonoridades Punk, Thrash y Black Metal, pero ninguna es suficiente para catalogarlos. Una idea compacta, solida, yo diría, indestructible y un sonido, el de CENDRA, ya que esta es una de esas bandas que suena a sí misma. Vamos a ver, yo observo los temas, y son salvajes, pero cuando los escucho (como ahora mismo) aprecio que no van forzados, las canciones fluyen como una corriente de ácido sulfúrico, y eso creo que se debe a mucho ensayo. Joey y Agressor han definido una base rítmica que debería ser inculcada por la fuerza (si es necesario) a las nuevas generaciones; también encuentro destacables los matices de guitarra de Malparit (“Aanirem a L’infern” y “Boig Perdut”). Respecto a la voz de Joey… bueno, estamos ante un gran vocalista de…Black/ Death.

Vamos a destacar tres temas por resultar paradigmáticos de lo que es este trabajo: “Boig Perdut”, con unos matices de guitarra brillantes, “Tu-Pa-Tu-Pa!!!”, tema de regusto CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY y donde Joey hace gala de una intensidad con las baquetas poco habitual en estos tiempos de “academicismos” y “Anirem a L’infern”, en la que me sorprende su aura ominosa.

Una cosa que no es negativa, pero que si me preocupa, este disco por lo que a mí respecta es perfecto… eso quiere decir que cualquier cambio que se pueda producir será…………………
