Concert Monkey takes a look at 20 of the best albums of 2014

Not a countdown. Not a Top 20.

Let’s begin with a simple question.

¡Pendejo! is a rock band from: 

a) Spain

b) Argentina

c) Columbia

d) The Netherlands

The correct answer is … The Netherlands.

 

It’s even more difficult to coin their style but it’s definitely not among the doom, gothic, symphonic, black, death metal that abounds in the territories.

Coming from Amsterdam, the band was formed in 2006 by two cousins with Latin American heritage and a common passion for music. Atacames is their second album entirely in Spanish and it has been released in April this year.

Traditional rhythms blended with heavy riffs, trumpets with sludge guitars, ethnic drumming with rough vocals. Songs ranging from serenades to sludge. These guys have created their own universe and rock the world by their rules. A courageous album, an audacious band.

Genre: Stoner/Metal/Rock
