Description: Cruzeiro, a new Galician doom-sludge quartet, establishes themselves as genre hopefuls with La Quinta del Sordo, revealing a sound that is incredibly expressive. The recording explores themes of madness and decay in great detail, drawing inspiration from the notorious Spanish painter Goya. The home where Goya spent his last years, which is thought to have had a significant influence on his mental health, is referenced in the title. This descent is reflected in the song, which uses amazing riffs and a suffocating atmosphere to channel the violence, poverty, and unrest of 18th-century Spain. It's a homage to historical and personal darkness.
