MEIDO

Debut album from 2010 by this Spanish band, a group that crafted a crushing blend of Stoner/ Sludge, Hardcore and Doom Metal performed entirely in the Basque language. With "Munduko Kamioirik Kandiena" ("The Biggest Truck in the World"), MEIDO delivered a powerful and highly distinctive release built around massive riffs, crushing rhythms and a strong underground attitude that made the band one of the most unique acts within the Spanish scene of the time.

The album's strength lies in its ability to move between dense, oppressive passages and bursts of energy rooted in aggressive Hardcore, while always maintaining a clearly defined identity. The result is a raw, heavy and uncompromising work that connects both with the tradition of American Sludge Metal and the distinctive character of the Basque underground. A highly recommended release for listeners drawn to the harsher and more visceral side of contemporary heavy music.
