Equilibrio Vital spawned 2 remarkable albums of equal gravitas that are on top of prog collectors’ lists. Kazmor El Prisionero is a concept album that not only appeals to prog and psychedelia aficionados, but will also surprise fans of prog and folk metal. Although this is a concept album, each track is marked by its own character, with at least three dominant sub-genres harmoniously co-inhabiting its grooves, namely, hard-rock, progressive, and psychedelia.   In fact, as soon as one enters Kazmor’s enclave, it becomes readily apparent that Equilibrio Vital may be effortlessly cited as folk metal’s grandparents, presaging the genre’s emergence by 2 decades. In line with the band’s philosophy that revolves around a constant quest for unleashing life’s vital energy, the album delves gradually into EV’s inner sanctum, encountered at the end of side A and the beginning of side B with 2 stunning spaced-out psychedelic jams, fronted by magnetizing vocals that are interspersed with electronics and a steady bass-line that palpitates like an irregular heart-beat. Sheltered in prognoisseur contours with Jethro-esque flute touches, Kazmor is a sine-qua-non for the Big 4 of Prog Venezuela.

A much sought after artefact among savvy prog collectors, and not at all coincidentally, For You The Old Women sits comfortably among the top 10 most inventive and omni-dexterous US prog...

Yet, being equipped with extremely scarce resources, including having to borrow friend’s cars to travel at the few p...
