Raíces: Bogotá, Colombia
Sounds like: Nine Inch Nails in a satanic orgy with Deftones and Trent Reznor’s How to Destroy Angels.
You should listen to La MiniTK del Miedo because… your life is a never ending series of depressing melodramas leading to your inevitable mass-cult suicide.
La MiniTK del Miedo’s new album Muerte y Sabroso rages with obscumbia (obscure cumbia anyone?) or simpler, cumbigoth, but I’d like to focus on his other qualities. Tracks like “El palenque del Nuncajamás” and “El vacilón de Ultratumbabut” hit that subgenre mix quite well. But somewhere under to heavy synth layers and haunting melodies, La MiniTK del Miedo amasses a wide cache of openly admitted clichés from raver club music to shoegaze on tracks like “Another Night” and “El Exorcismo.” Basically, Muerte y Sabroso sounds like the album Crystal Castles should have released as their third, with a dismal dude’s voice instead of an innocent little girl lost in the Blair Witch forest.
His first single, “Yo te quiero calavera” is straight-up dark pop. There’s no tropical cadence here, just old-school ’90s alt-industrial stuff. It’s also an exclusive and promotional FREE download for you!
