There’s no safe haven when it comes to the brutality blasted by these Spanish Death Metal titans in their pulverizing fourth studio album.

Following up on the brutality and darkness of their 2020 opus Conjuring the New Apocalypse, Logroño, La Rioja, Spain-based Death Metal titans Aposento are back with their pulverizing fourth full-length installment, beautifully titled No Safe Haven. Recorded by Dan Díez at Rock Lab Studios, mixed by Davide Billia at Mk2 Recording Studio, and displaying a gory, devilish artwork by Spanish artist Naroa Etxebarria, No Safe Haven presents a brutal and powerful sound reminiscent of the classic Death Metal era of the early 90’s in Florida, with the band now formed of a returning Carlos Garcia on vocals (who was the band’s frontman from 1993 to 1997), Manolo Sáez and Manu Reyes on the guitars, and newcomers Pablo Vazquez on bass and Raúl Ceballos on drums sounding absolutely ruthless from start to finish for our total delight.

Get ready to be pulverized by the almighty Aposento in the title-track No Safe Haven, where Carlos proves why his return was the right choice for the future of the band, also showcasing decimating Death Metal riffs and crushing beats; and Raúl continues to hammer his drums mercilessly in Tortured and Abused, inviting us all to slam into the pit to the band’s classic, no shenanigans Death Metal attack. There’s no time to breath as the quintet fires another brutal tune titled Uncertain Death, with the riffage by Manolo and Manu sounding incendiary for our total delight. Moreover, it’s impressive how they manage to sound so technical without forgetting their infernal core essence. And this Spanish Death Metal brigade sounds just as infuriated in A Texas Funeral, a lesson in violence and gore where the vocals by Carlos will haunt your putrid souls for all eternity; whereas Raúl takes the lead with his wicked, demented beats and fills in The Bad Seed, keeping the animosity flowing strong in the album.

The band will then break your body in half with their thunderous sounds in Where Darkness Reigns, with Carlos deeply roaring like a demented creature supported by the heavy-as-hell kitchen by Pablo and Raúl, resulting in an amazing Death Metal aria by those Spanish beasts. A sinister start quickly explodes into sheer madness entitled Let it Bleed, where no one will be left alive to the demolishing sounds blasted by Aposento, while Manolo and Manu continue to slash their axes in The Devil’s Bargain, delivering caustic, flammable riffs while Raúl crushes his drums nonstop. Two more songs to go and the band doesn’t slow down at all, offering us absolute hatred and heaviness in As Your Life Ends, a decent Death Metal tune albeit not as good as the other songs, followed by Parásitos, one last blast of insanity and violence by the band where Raúl sounds inhumane on drums as well as Carlos with his deep guttural roars.

If you nurture a deep passion for the heaviest and most aggressive form of Death Metal, you must take a listen at the new demented album by Aposento, obviously grabbing a copy of it from Xtreem Music’s BandCamp page or webstore to show all your support to the underground, and don’t forget to also give the guys from Aposento your best guttural shout on Facebook and on Instagram, staying up to date with everything about the band including their infernal live concerts, and to stream all of their amazing discography on Spotify. There’s no safe haven when it comes to the violence blasted by Aposento in their new album, no way out, nowhere to go, with their demented sounds dragging our putrid bodies into an endless circle pit in the name of old school Death Metal.
