Desavenencia: 2014

Desesperanza - Desesperanza (Full-length, 2014)

After years of absolute silence about this project, I finally decided to unveil it. Why? Simply because it did not deserve to remain unreleased and forgotten. The concept and the compositions' prototypes date from 2008, although the lyrical content I used for the tracks was written back in 2006 on my days inside the asylum, not specifically for any project but just as a vent, out of necessity. Then why did I took so long to release this stuff? Because it was never recorded (and wasn't planned to be either). This production was made exactly at the same time as Precaria Ex Humanitas. Why did I wait to disclose it until now? Because I wanted to give it a proper physical release and artwork.

The end of the year came and I couldn't really find a committed designer who could make what I wanted nice and fast (right now there are not enough funds to work with Cold Poison), also, the fact that I am still not fully recovered from the bankruptcy that I've been suffering for self-recording/producing/releasing/promoting Precaria's work. Yes, that's why I call everything Desavenencia. I run completely as a label for my stuff, and that's it's name.

So, to the point: I decided to stop waiting for other people to dedicate time to my stuff and did the artwork myself so I could finally present it as a digital release on bandcamp, I also posted it to metal-area for all of you who don't want to support (ironically, you still "support" by downloading it and spreading it). Here I provide the links to Bandcamp, Facebook and Metalarea (only members can see the download links).

Tracklist:

1. Vacuola Universal De Penuria Y Decadencia - 07:34

2. Amargo Nectar De La Desgracia - 09:45

3. Espiral Descendente A La Perdición - 09:10

4. Eutanasia Para La Patética Humanidad - 10:51

5. Desesperanza Rehearsal (bonus track) - 08:32

The lyrics can be read by clicking on each individual track at bandcamp. You can also read an important descriptive text written below the album info.

PD: I am open to release proposals from labels, I have received a tape version proposal from Nebular Carcoma (a new black metal label from Spain that has already worked with people I know and thus providing me a reliable reference), the plan is to make an edition of 100 pro-tape copies. The artwork was made to fit a CD format, so any label interested on releasing a CD version is welcome to contact me.

The most introverted track of Precaria Ex Humanitas, an intense, dark and hateful dose of moribund black metal venom for the mind. Drink and share the Elixir!

Precaria Ex Humanitas album review by The Anti-Flesh Nimbus

Precaria has been featured and reviewed in the printed edition, issue #1 (page 31) of The Anti-Flesh Nimbus Magazine: A Journey To The Dark Side along with big and well known bands like Cult Of Fire, Bestia Arcana, Throne of Katarsis, Serpent Noir, Clandestine Blaze, Grave Miasma and obscure, less known -not for much time- bands like Heretic Cult Redeemer, Impure Worship, Nadiwrath, Aima, Chaosbaphomet and Profane Prayer, featuring also an interview to Daemon Worship Prod. and a review of the Speyer Grey Mass Fest. The review of Precaria Ex Humanitas is entirely written in Greek -as it is the entire magazine- but it included a hand-written translation to English:

"From the enigmatic Mexico with the ancient traditions that have given us Xibalba, Andramelech & more, comes Precaria, the vessel of Ianzél the Hermit, with an ambitious debut full-length album of 6 tracks and 52 minutes. With such lengthy songs and spanish lyrics from an unknown -until now- band, I don't know how many would dare to dive into the worlds of Precaria, yet those who will decide to do so, will find many things to prolong their presence there.

First of all its the dry, high-pitch sound, which refers to the old Norway and the devastating drums that instantly suck the listener's attention. Here emerges the "sonic ugliness" that was once so adored in blackmetal circles. Around the middle of the record the rhythm slows down, it even crawls at some point. We are now into the deep, exploring Ianzél's fables.

I haven't translated all the lyrics yet, but the latin title stands for something close to "The Precarious Position of Humanity". As for some sparse and short acoustic passages, they have nothing to do with pompous keyboards; on the contrary, these grisly chord plucking intensify the morbid atmosphere. Well done Mexico!"

Precaria - Demo 2004 (The Controversy)

Precaria - "Demo 2004" Inside Cover Scan

Precaria - "Demo 2004" Outside Cover Scan

"Demo 2004" wasn't recorded in 2004. It was recorded between december 2010 and march/april 2011. Then why is it called Demo 2004? Because the idea was born at that time. 75-80% of the song structures were made in that year and the other 20-25% parts were done within 2005 and 2006. Music, lyrics and even these scanned tape covers up here were made in that period which I refer as "the dormant period of the band". I began what could've been a pre-production, although the music was never recorded and I started to have timing issues with the drummer Aggula back then. We could not rehearse enough so the songs weren't ready to be recorded and in the further years I simply gave up on it. Aggula had some issues happening in his homeland El Salvador and left Mexico for a long time.

This technically makes Precaria exist since that time even if we never played live. That's why 'we alleged that the band was created on that year'. But if you want to base your beliefs on what the "local and global scene" say (yes sir, global! I wonder specifically who conforms it...?) then you'll erroneously believe Precaria was created in 2010 because everyone started seeing the project active until I got the actual drummer (Opposus) and we began to play live. Objectively, Precaria started as an idea which remained On Hold/Inactive for many years until I found this drummer who got interested on it and allowed the band to debut in a live setting in mid 2010.

I used the artwork that was originally made for the demo and released it to 25 (white) tape copies, as it was meant to be. As the artwork was not modified, Aggula appears there as the drummer, but who performed the drums in the recordings was Opposus Discordia. Then there's just one more question: Why was it released until August 2013? It wasn't only released until 2013 but also mixed and mastered until 2013. As some know, in October 2011 I lost all my gear (let's call it for it's name, it was robbed). Right now it would be pointless to explain again what happened with that person (many of my closer contacts and even OpsiusCato -moderator of Encyclopaedia Metallum- know about this case very well). The point here is that there was no more audio interface, no more laptop with Logic Studio. My guitars, amps and effects, everything was stolen by her, taking advantage of my naive error of leaving my stuff with her meanwhile I was settling on a stable place to live that wasn't an acquaint's house. This person even used my instruments for her "bedroom depressive projects" called Painless Death, Dreariness, Oppressive Light and Stay in Negativity (I don't know if she has more and I don't care).

In 2013 I had pretty much recovered in some degree and getting a new laptop helped me to finish the mixing and master of the sessions with the backups I stored on mediafire (I always store everything on 1 or 2 servers, life experiences have made me cautious on that). So the tape was finally out and now I can be focusing on all the pending stuff from more or less 2008 to the actual day. When will this finish? Never. The day I stop transforming dark energies into musical form is because I am probably dead.

Cleared it all out. Have any questions? Then stop speculating answers and ask instead.
