Vientos Moderados del Este - Un Manual de Signos y Síntomas (2024)

The debut album from this band from Spain.

The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

I became aware of this band when they introduced themselves in ProgArchives, the new bands submission forum. So I got their album and put it on the list of albums to be reviews. A many weeks long waiting list.

Their music is a mix of psych rock, art rock, heavy prog and symphonic prog. All of this with a cool breeze of Latin rock. This is a genre we have got from both Spain and South-America.

The vocals are in Spanish and they are very good. They adds a lot of colours and quality to this album. Ditto for the organs here which sounds both vintage and very good. 

The guitars are also cool. They are both chugging and adding some Spanish flavours in the vein of Al De Meola at the same time.

This close to one hour long album has one long epic clocking in at seventeen minutes and that epic closes the album. It is a very good epic.

The rest of the songs are also very good and this album is adding a lot of colours to my record collection and the progressive rock scene. The band is talking about a second album and I cannot wait....

In the meantime......Check out this album.
