Prior to finding this CD on the dollar rack of a used music/movie store, I had never heard of Maria Fatal. I purchased it because the cover looked like it might fall in the genre of rock or alt-rock. I am always willing to take a chance on someone I have never heard of, especially for a dollar. Honestly, I thought Maria Fatal was going to be a female singer… come on, Maria? Who wouldn’t have thought that?
When I put on the CD for a first initial listen, I was very surprised by what I heard. Not straight-up rock and roll but definitely rock with almost a gothic edge to it. It was not fast or hard like metal, which kind of hurts my brain…but honestly, it had a good alternative rock sound. The album can hold its own with other bands like Fobia, including some big-name English language bands.
Some of the tracks that stood out for me were “Una Daga En La Sien” (A dagger to the temple), which jumps from a mellow sound to hard rock. The other track that stood out was “Antes Que” (Before). There is a hidden bonus track at the end of the CD. This song combines rock with techno for a fun instrumental track that ends the album awesomely. This is the second album of the band and it is well worth finding if you like 90’s Alt Rock.
