After Ángel Ontalva & Vespero CDs "Carta Marina" and "Sada", Ángel has created a new group called Seaorm with Ark and Ivan Fedotov, Vespero's bassist and drummer. This power trio follows the paths of their collaborations in Vespero with a more exploratory and electronic approach. The band has recorded an album called "Olkhon", inspired in the biggest island of the Baikal Lake, in the center of Siberia, famous for its shamanic traditions and its amazing beauty and powerful energy.

Description/Reviews: 

The October Equus Quartet is a fractalization of the original band, showing a sound not so 'chamber rock' and more oriented toward a kind of 'avant-jazz-rock'. On 'Isla Purgatorio' the compositions are conveniently dark and complex but there is a bigger tendency to improvisation than in October Equus. Echoes of the 80's New York downtown scene like Zorn, Curlew, Dr. Nerve, or even some Zeuhl flavour here and there. (clear-spot.nl)

Description/Reviews: 

After their last experience as a septet with 'Saturnal', released in 2011 in AltrOck records, with this new cd the band goes back to its roots, as a quartet, presenting 8 new instrumental tunes, more akin to rock, but without compromising the complex and unpredictable style wich is the band's trademark. The quartet reduction allows you to hear a more detailed and intense work of the instrumentalists.
