Stickstoffdünger sorgen für hohe Erträge in der Landwirtschaft, tragen aber auch erheblich zum Klimawandel bei. Wie lässt sich ihre Produktion dekarbonisieren?

Estoy hecha polvo entre la resaca de concierto (que es algo que se tiene aunque no bebas) y la tormenta que me cayó encima ayer, pero quería mostrar un poco las bandas powerosas que vi ayer en Vicálvaro :D
(además, mañana me voy a ver a Michael Schenker tocando UFO, ese conci es más de relax para gente mayor, espero sobrevivir xD)

Las fotos me salieron movidas la mayoría porque, si no lo sabéis os lo digo, yo con una cámara no saco nada bueno, pero si no documento un concierto al que voy, no me quedo agusto xD Así que hay una foto de cada banda y otra más del bonito botín que me llevé de recuerdo :D

Lutharo 🇨🇦 tocan melodeath poweroso, como lo llamo yo. Mucha gente dice que el melodeath es basicamente power metal pero con guturales a la voz. Yo no estoy de acuerdo, pero esta gente suena muy bien. Solo tienen 2 albumes, pero progresan muy bien. Os dejo un enlace a youtube para que veais como suenan apropiadamente:

Fellowship 🇬🇧 son power casi sinfónico y son lo más wholesome que te puedan echar en cara. Yo los pondría de gira con Freedom Call para ponernos a todos a producir serotonina, en serio. A pesar de las pintas, no son otra de esas bandas con gimmick, sus letras hablan mucho de salud mental y se te pegan las melodías sin darte cuenta :D

Frozen Crown 🇮🇹 hacen power metal clásico Y SE LO CURRAN. Llevan... 8 años juntos? Y ya tienen 5 discos. Y les llamaban la promesa del power italiano, y ahora por fin han tenido su primera gira como headliners. Me alegro mucho por ellos, aunque ahora tienen 3 guitarristas, ahí a lo Iron Maiden y yo preferiría que hubieran incluido teclista, pero quién soy yo. Además, sí, lo veis bien, son 3 tíos y 3 tías, no se ve mucho en el metal, pero vaya jefismo llevan :D

Panthalassan – From the Shallows of the Mantle Review

By GardensTale

Angry Metal Guy is an institution, and not just a mental one. Artists often dip into our comment section to express a fondness for our site specifically, and the review requests that land in our contact form are even more devoted (or attempting to ingratiate themselves by pretending to be; politics plays a part too!). The case of Panthalassan is a step further, though. It’s a one-man band inspired by bands we have hawked relentlessly: Lör and Wilderun. After playing guitar for Viathyn and Ravenous, Jake Wright sought to carve his own path, striking out on his own with only the drums of session musician and Viathyn bandmate Dave Crnković to accompany him. Have the AMG classics steered him true?

Well, it’s clear that one has had more pull than the other, because From the Shallows of the Mantle will sound fairly familiar for anyone who’s heard Lör’s In Forgotten Sleep. Lithe, winding guitars dish out multi-layered riffs and whirling solos alike, largely at dazzling speeds. The compositions are progressive, and though they don’t eschew choruses altogether, the tracks are arranged in a free-flowing form, prioritizing a musical narrative thread over rigid structure. And it must be said, Wright is a crack at the axe. There are enough great solos dotted across the running time to supply 3 albums, and the rapid and evolving melodic riffs thrill without fail. Just check the triumphant ascending chords that kick off “Coral Throne” or the Fellowship-worthy “By Shank’s Mare.” Cheesy? Sure. But it is some of the catchiest riffing I’ve heard yet this year.

Which is why it’s such a shame that both vocals and lyrics weigh on the album like an anchor. It’s not a technical disaster. Wright does glance off pitch on occasion, but he doesn’t veer completely wild. But sometimes I wish he would, because as adventurous as the guitars are, so safe and consequently flat is the vocal performance, leaving little room for emotional involvement. Exacerbating this issue are the lyrics. The text itself is not awful when read on paper; the problem is the near-total lack of flow, which is ironic considering its oceanic themes. I’m of the opinion that a good flow is the most important and oft-overlooked element of lyrics in music. You can sing about utter nonsense and I’ll suck it up like a sponge if you get your cadance and prosody right. But Panthalassan sounds stilted and awkward across most of the album, with ‘The gasp that slips my lips’ the tongue-twisting nadir. The difference it makes when it does fall into place, in the closer’s chorus, is downright startling. It makes me wonder how much better From the Shallows of the Mantle could have been with this issue resolved.

The quality of the instrumentation might have been enough to overcome the above issue, and it almost does. Besides the sweet guitars, Crnković does a solid job keeping up the pace on the drums, and the tracks weave enough variation and supplementary instruments into the compositions to stay reasonably fresh. Even so, more than an hour is a long sit, and most of the tracks that push past 7 minutes should not. “Worth My Salt” overuses the title phrase, and the extended outro on the back of the otherwise excellent “Embers on our Shore” drags it out even further. On the bright side, I do enjoy the production, which is light but doesn’t lack in power. The guitars are crystalline and the bass gets enough space; the only unfortunate consequence of the mix is the attention the vocals get, putting more emphasis on the shortcomings there.

Still, From the Shallows of the Mantle is a very promising debut for Panthalassan. Most of the issues with the album are surface-level, not fundamental. A re-examination of how to write vocal parts that flow well is in order, and that might in turn help entice a more passionate performance. I’m also curious to hear how Wright would fare trying to move away from the trappings of Lör’s fairly specific sound, something I’m convinced he has the chops to. That, as well as keeping the album more concise, would be more than enough to make the next installment of this oceanic saga a smash hit, because the bones are all there: solid songcraft, virtuoso play on every instrument, and a knack for a good hook.
